Early 67 Bronco Sport Restoration

[rkstokes]

I have an early 67 Bronco Sport with a 1970 351C 4v. The truck is mechanically sound and I would drive it anywhere. I want to do a frame off restoration, however, and would appreciate any input as this will be my first attempt at a complete automotive restoration. I have a fair amount of mechanical experience on automobiles, motorcycles and aircraft. Any links to shop manuals/microfiche or any other information is greatly appreciated. I am new to the forum but am finding it to be very informative. Thanks for your help.

Welcome rk,

I also have a '67 Sport that is slated for restoration. I would say get a Chilton or Haynes manual, or a Ford manual if you can find one.

You should be able to find the first two at any Barnes & Noble/Border's etc.

Also, get some catalogs from the vendors, so you can see the parts....and compare prices.

Good Luck, ;D

be carefull removing the sport specific parts. My 67 sport has this pretty trim on the dash between the pad and panel and on the bottom edge. It took me 2 years and $$$ to find one after i accidently threw out the originals. dont know how original in the resto you want to be but I have a 67 289 bronco engine

I learned something new. I have never seen those pieces of trim before. I bet those would be hard to find.

Anyone know if any other year had them except 67?

That chrome dash trim is new one on me, as well. I'm going to bet that was specific to a '67 Sport. I just called a guy about a '67 U14 6 cyl (cheap!) sounded like a pretty good deal. I wouldn't ming getting it & maybe hunting out of it for the remainder of the year & slapping a '77 running gear I have underneath, next spring, wondering how hard that would be?? Anyways, good luck to the original poster, I'd just get some horses & sit the body over on it & go to work!!

I have restored my 67 Sport. One of the best parts is the windows unbolt for summer driving. Regarding a manual. Go
to ebay and by the official 1967 Ford Bronco. I use that all
the time. I like it over the Chilton. One other thing. Be ready
to have the gem out of commision for quite some time.

Good Luck! When done, they turn a lot of heads.
