Rare Bronco options

[JGbronc]

Has anyone ever seen a 1973 or 1974 Ranger model with a 200 6cyl? That was a factory setup.

I Know A Guy That Had A 73 With A 200 I6. It Was Orange And Had A Half Cab (Not Stock Of Course)

I would love to see the dealer installed rear step bumper also dealer installed in 66 and 67.

Here is one on a '67...

I have the holes in my drivers door for the remote mirror, but the mirror's long gone. My 74 has the Ranger package, fact. limited slips front and back.
when I bought it it had a Vic Hickey Sidewinder, and a weird "divorced" power brake system up in the front drivers side of the engine compartment. I'll try and dig up some pics of that.

I think they all come with the hole for remote mirror on the drives's side.

Mine Didn't

Is that the one on the bottom of the dash in the middle? I thought all the rangers had them.

No, you had to buy the lighting and convenience package.

I ordered my '77 with everything I could get on it. (fully loaded haha)
According to the history book, a lot of items were deleated from the option list in the latter years because the car was being sold more as a soccer mom than as a utilitarian vehicle. I didn't see front posi, windshield latch/knobs, dash throttle, manual shift tranny, side window screens, or trailer hitch available but instead useless carpet, and foo-foo side panels.

I just gave a door with the remote mirror to Lilhotz jr. Should i have kept it?

Please tell me you sneaked up on all those creitters with that Bronco.;D

The spotlight was a dealer option, yours even looks mounted correctly. The flairs are aftermarket.

Cool Orange Bronco, Pokey. The flares could have been dealer installed as some dealers would flare a Bronco before selling, just to have one cut and ready on the lot. Those white fiberglass flares look to be very old and small. My 72 has a similar looking flare and it was flared when new.

I like that Bronco, too! Those flares look like Duff's to me, but it's hard to tell from here. If you look about center of the flare up under the lip, it will say "James Duff" stamped in.

I didn't read all these but caught a couple my red 1976 had wooden door pulls inside and 16 inch tires on spoke wheels and a staight seat .........

Not me, but YES. Those and a LOT more. There is a whole row across the garage that the Bronco has carried over the years...

I looked last night and a few of my doors have the outside remote hole but not the inside one, so later doors must have been prepunched.

Thats what i thought when i pulled them off. they were rivited and in very bad shape. the picture make them look new but that was after some cleaning. there was no stamp or marking of any kind
Heres another picture

my 69 came with dso-0030 hd frt axle carrier it cost $194.60
its a dana 44 carrier with dana 30 axle tubes and king pins
seems rare never talked to anyone whos ever heard of it

 

[BajaBronco]

Pokey, Are your front fenders rolled on the beginning of the opening...they look like they are. Anyway, your rear flares look similar to the flare Stroppe used, and it look like the in the picture that your front fender openings have been modified a little for clearance. Can you confirm this? Is it rolled over or is it snipped off metal. Just curious.

desertoasis - those axles are pretty rare. I've only known 2 or 3. I think Toddz knows a couple too, probably one of the ones I know of. Yeah, was a HD axle option of hybrid sort of 30/44 combo. I heard someone call it a D33 once. One of the places I found one was under a desert racing 68 Bronco.

Here is a new one to keep the thread going and maybe spark some new info. Got these from a longtime falcon parts dealer here in Portland, he is closing up shop and slowly going through all of his NOS stuff. The box says pn C6TZ-9620146-A on it.

 

[zombie66]

that's really cool josh i dont think i have seen pictures of those kind of window inserts, similar but not those. my '66 has the removable window frames so i could see how they would slide in from the top and bolt in.
