As I worked on my build I have realized that bracing the windshield to the roll cage is a great idea. It offers support to the windshield when the top is off and keeps the angle of the windshield correct so the soft top fits snug without pulling the...

I’ve owned my 66 Bronco since August 2004 and my wipers never did a good job. I live in Los Angeles it really doesn’t rain much but almost every morning the entire car is covered in dew, often covering both the inside and outside of the windshield.

Although ClassicBroncos.com covers almost every Bronco project imaginable, one I’ve never seen is a write-up on restoring original license plates. This is an easy project. I took some pictures while refinishing mine, so why not share?

There are a couple of ways to get these old body bushings out of the frame. Remember you may have to use a combination of methods that I will be writing about to remove the original bushings.
If you can, soak the bushings and the bolt as best you can with...

I’ve never liked the stock antenna on our beloved Classic Broncos. They are prone to breakage from trees while wheeling and expensive to replace if you can find one.
When I had new fenders put on my Bronco I opted not to have a new antenna hole cut in the...

Dimension (A) should be .187" to .200" (I made this cut on a table saw with a carbide tipped blade. Use WD-40 or some type of wax to lube the blade and go slow to avoid kickbacks. You can also purchase a metal cutting blade.) To find dimension (B) place your...

Here is a simple way to install locking wing window latches on your early Bronco. I got tired of hearing the wind whistle through the gap in the seals because the latches weren't tight enough.
Wandering around the local wrecking yard I came across a mid...
