Nope. Aftermarket.
First factory dual shocks came on the first gen Big Broncos.

What type is your setup? Welded-on plate on the front of your spring tower?
That was the typical setup back when. Offered by Stroppe, so I guess it could be almost considered a "factory" option after '71, but that's stretching it a bit.
Likely a dealer or PO put them on.

That's what I remember anyway, lots of good info with the guys that have all the early documentation and sales brochures. Maybe at some point Ford offered them on EB's, but I don't remember ever seeing it.

You're absolutely correct, Paul.

No. So now, naturally you're obligated to supply more pics of your Bronco for the rest of us to oggle.

total chrome package

i dont know how rare this chrome package was...but it is still in very good condition on my EB.
rocker molding below the doors
trim around the entire vehicle...ie sides, rear corners, and back.
bezel around front grill
bezel around every window
chrome around the drip rail
chrome roof rack with the roof slats
i am going to redo my hard top this winter, and just read a thread about removing the drip rail...and that it will never be the same after removal...i guess i will be masking it instead.
here are some pics.

Your '67 should have come from the factory with vacuum wipers. There was no wiper cover with dome light in '67.

You forgot the chrome parking brake release knob and door lock knobs.

My 69 has the bracket for the spare to be mounted on the pass side. It was called the Ranch Hand or something like that, it allowed you to have full use of your tailgate keeping the spare tire out of your way.

One of my '69's had that too. I took it off though, now that I think about it, that was pretty stupid.

Tito,

Those window screens look very similar to these that Kayline offered in this '66 Four Wheeler ad:

I guess Ford offered them as well as aftermarket vendors, but they may have been made by the same producer and simply restocked.


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.

77 with no dash pad or mounting holes. I figure it was in the last of the run and they ran out of Dash pads.
