Can anyone identify this?

Can anyone id the canister on the core support on the driver side?

Picture??? Guess might be a vacuum canister. Another guess could be radiator overflow catch can. I'm sorry , no help here.

Never seen anything like that. Interesting looking though. Overflow on a 6cyl radiator was just a hose running down the drivers side and it flowed out onto the ground.

Could it be a hydraulic tank for a plow?

I think some kind of vintage hydrovac brake booster

I was thinking it looked like an oil reservoir, but while I've seen that type, I've never seen one on a Bronco I don't think.
On a tractor maybe? Could be a PO scavenged it for a custom "oil pressurizer thingy" for cold startups? Or it was for a hydraulic auger option (post hole digger) on the back, or hydraulic snow plow contraption on the front of a Bronco maybe.

The augers were usually at least partially PTO operated, correct? Maybe this was for the other part, and there was a PTO operated hydraulic pump?

Good thing to hunt down. Any chance or more pics blu?

Marvel Mystery Oil injection that ran off of your vacuum system?

Engine pre-oiler? What's it hooked up to?

 

[Broncobowsher]

Is there any lines hooked up to it? Where do they go?

It is not like any of those that I've ever seen, but that was my first thot too.

Pretty sure thats what it is. I pulled one off a '68 or so...let me see if I can find the pics. Had the decals and such , and was indeed a Marvel Mystery product

ding, ding!!

 

[BajaBronco]

I just can't remember what truck mine came in on or what happened to it. But it had the decals etc. Put in box and gave back to customer I think it was a 68 sport, pretty original.
