1988 Parts Catalogs

[1969]

Purchased these old catalogs to add to my collection. Thought I’d share some pictures of them.

Also, does anyone know the gentleman that these were addressed to?

Not sure of the age of the American Bronco catalog below. It is not dated. Anyone know?

I remember getting that James Duff catalog, I was so excited to order my shocks

Very cool stuff! Don't know the guy whom it was address to, though. I was just looking through one of my old Duff catalogs this weekend (I think it was that one) and it had the Petersen's poster in it too.

The American Bronco flier is probably from the 2005-2010 era?

@Bronco Junkie on here was the seller. Maybe it was him or someone he knows.

That pic of Mark Ranger always made me laugh - even as a kid when we all wore those hats!

That makes sense - he's in SoCal.

I'm pretty sure I had the K bar S phone number memorized in the early 90's.
It was before I had a credit card. I would call to place the order for parts and then go get a money order and mail it to them.
The good old days.

Yes. That's cool stuff! Like the Virginia Slims ad "We have come a long way Baby!"...

I ordered parts 3 decades ago from the only three suppliers that I knew about: K bar S, Duffy's, and Jeff's. I would always drool over the K bar S and Duffy's little "catalogs" because Jeff's was Xeroxed photocopies stapled together with just typed (Yes! .. with a typewriter!) and stapled together....just a part number, a description, and a price... Mostly used parts.

I went to the K bar S shop twice (two different locations) and met John and Patty and saw John's Lightfoot Bronco. Ken was not there either visit. I remember the feeling on my first trip and oh what a let down! I was picturing in my mind this large facility with Bronco everywhere and everything! In reality it was a small two bay garage with a sales counter and a few shelves and parts over on the right side; probably not larger than 1500 sqft!

Yes! We have come a long way Baby!

Had most of those. Also had one from bronco parts- at the threshold of the moon Rubicon. Also have an old bc broncos catalog laying around.

Like these ones? I’m still on the hunt for an early Wild Horses, and BC one.
