Long wheelbase CB factory?

[Biohazard]

A guy I work with claims to have a factory long wheelbase early bronco. His brother claims it is a 63 (yeah.....right....) but since it has been sitting at their old deer camp for the last 40yrs, he's not certain. As I'm typing this into my phone, his wife is digging around for the title in a file cabinet.

He describes it as a bronco that looks like my 72, but it's much longer and has two back bench seats instead of one. He's not much of a gear head, so of course none of this is fact as of yet. When or if the wife finds the title she's gonna shoot me a pic of it with yr and vin.

Is this something that I've just never seen or heard of before? He says it will be for sale if it's worth anything, so I'm looking for any info. I'm thinking if it is as he says, it's possibly a custom built rig (was anyone building these 40yrs ago........?) but I'm no bronco historian, so I won't even offer a guess........... But I am very curious..........

Probably an old IH scout or jeep of some sort.

He's pretty adamant about it being a bronco but we'll see I guess

Looking forward to the revelation of this one

It's either stretched (has been done a few times) or it is not a Bronco.

That's what I'm thinking. Not really getting my hopes up, but wouldn't it be bitchin?

Scout 2 has plenty of room for two bench seats in the back...I would bet that's what it is

I'm leaning towards Scout II if he's deadest it's a 63. Hell people can't tell the difference between a Wrangler and a bronco let alone a scout and a bronco.

Scout II's didn't come out until 1971 though...

You are correct sir! Poor comprehension skills this morning...

When did the Scrambler come out?

 

[okie4570]

Jeep scramblers were early eighties I think. The neighbor down the road had an 82' and I think he said it was the first year or so IIRC.

How about a '63 IH Travelall? I could see someone thinking it might be a Bronco to the untrained eye.

Scramblers were from 81-85 I believe. I had a 83. They did make full length hard and soft tops for them, and 2 back seats would fit. Now I'm curious.

 

[welndmn]

I'd vote for a travelall

 

[Biohazard]

Still waiting on confirmation. Trust me, I'm just as curious as anyone........

Not only the CJ-8 but one that is more rare is a CJ-6 but I am some others and think it is a Scout.
