    What do you guys think of the rust on this 1978?

    Here's a brown 1978 Bronco that caught my eye. It has the exact amount of life I want and i like that it has a fresh engine in it but the rust might be a deal breaker. It's also far away from me so I have to add 2k in shipping to the price. Do you think fixing it would be as simple as fixing the...

    Legality of renoving smog equipement (California)

    Let's say I put all the smog equipment on my engine and take it in and it passes smog. Is it illegal to take all that small equipment back off and leave it off and drive my truck that way until my smog is due again?

    What determines the year of a body swapped vehicle?

    Is it the frame? What's to stop me from taking the liscence plates off one truck, putting them on another truck and calling the bodys swapped? I'm sure there's laws but what are they. I'm in California day dreaming about avoiding smog on a 1979 Bronco by swapping to an older vin

    Whats the difference between 50,000$ and 100,000$ Broncos

    I don't understand the market. At 50k is when you basically get a rust free truck that's probably had a frame off restoration completed recently and is reliable and clean. I'm assuming the 100k Broncos have premium components for the suspension, drivetrain, and interior?

    How do I verify if a frame is a bronco frame?

    There's a frame on the FB marketplace I'm thinking of buying. The guy says he's thinks its a Bronco frame but could be a scout frame. I asked him to look for the VIN and he said he would. I assume there's some way to use the VIN to determine the manufacture and maybe the model?

    How come some of you only use ford parts?

    Is ford more reliable or is it a heritage thing?

    Anyone near Tuscon AZ who can look at a Bronco for me?

    I'd be happy to pay someone a few hundred bucks for their time. I'm in SoCal so I can't go look at the truck in person.

    302 sounds loud at idle

    Just bought my first early bronco. The carbureted 302 that came in it sounds really loud at idle. Any ideas of what I might look into first?

    Best performance/value hydroboost system?

    I want hydroboost but I don't want the best hydroboost. I want the hydroboost thats a good balance of performance and cost. If that means getting the one from Wild Horses I linked below than I will but if there's one for signfiicanly less that performs 90% as well that is what I would prefer. I...

    Anyone know why this disc conversion kit isn't compatible with a 1976?

    I have a 1976 but the kits only listed as being good for 1966-1975. I'm wondering what the incompatibility is and if it's something simple I can work around. the kit: https://shop.broncograveyard.com/Ford-Bronco-Front-Disc-Brake-Conversion-Kit/productinfo/12115/

    Choosing a front disc kit

    I just want my truck to be reliable as a daily driver and for light to moderate wheeling. For someone like myself who doesn't need the best I performance is there any reason to go with the duff kit over the graveyard one given the 1k price difference? I'm a physics major so I have some...

    Possible to deal with chassis rust without taking the body off the frame?

    I want to address the rust on my chassis so that my truck lasts a long time. I think getting the chassis sandblasted and painting it with por 15 would be a good way to do that and not too much time and money except that acessing it to do so doesn't seem possible without taking the body off and...
