Rare Bronco options

[broncolove]

I have seen more fronts than rears, are they on your baja?

Front or rear?... or either? Mine has a rear sway bar.

Yeah, it doesn't have a front though, just a rear.

 

[SeaBiscuit68]

Not there...maybe removed for some reason...where along the underside of the dash is it supposed to be?

Female bullit connector. It's under the Instrument cluster. It appears to be part of the harness whether you got the light or not. Activated by the headlight switch.

I see you have the elusive finishing mower option as well.;D

If you look close I'm actually running the dual push mower package on this one ;D

 

[BG's 68 Bronco]

I have a jerry can carrier, which looks and mounts like the spare tire carrier only is mounts on the drivers side vs. the passengers.?? Dealer installed... aftermarket?? I thought it was a factory thing, but I don't recall anyone else having it?? it's in my gallery.

 

[BajaBronco]

Yes, that is a Stroppe option rear swaybar. I dont' believe he offered a front. BUt in 73-74 Catalog(the one that says "NEW") on the front, there are some added parts he lists and pictures and one is a rear sway bar. I'll try and scan and add the photo here later tonight.

 

[welndmn]

Could'nt you also get a Hood ornament as an option?

 

[Bronco_46256]

My '68 has the map light option under the dash.

Its listed as a "Courtesy Light" on the window sticker.

That's great! You learn something new every day. I would love to see a scan of that page when you get a chance.

Zieberts rust proof Im not sure if the Bronco was treated for rust prevention
as a Dealer add or done later on. There is holes drilled in the rust high risk
ares such as Rockers,door posts,Window frame,Tailgate, tailgate jam,
Doors. Then these areas were injected with some type of rust preventive
chemical and pluged up with plastic plugs that say zieberts rust prevention.
Also the truck was undercoated. Does anyone else have this on there Bronco
It appears to had done a great job. My truck is not rust free but it is solid in
areas treated.

My 77 sport was under coated and rust proofed. This was done at the dealer and it saved my truck, it is still rust free to this day.;D

How about the Cargo Light and dash switch or the factory air bags that boost the front springs?

A friend of mine has a 1974 former AL Fish & Game unit, and it has a rear swaybar identical to the one pictured. Is there a chance that could be a Stroppe?? I doubt it, but I might research that for him. As far as the rare options, I'd have to say the center seat, chrome driprail trim, chrome trim on a 1/2 cab back glass (saw 1), I dig the groovy red houndstooth that I believe was only offered in '74-'75 Explorers. Anyways......I believe you could say that EB's had limited options (compares to other makes)

Oh, the Briggs & Stroppen package?

What years did Stroppe put that on and who made it? I wouldn't mind having one on my '71 if only to help with typical Bronco body roll during my high speed cornering....15mph. ;D

 

[tasker]

I had a '68 with 4.56s l/s. long time ago...have the whitco top as we speak as well. Cool thread, learned alot, thanks guys! these an option then?

 

[evil69]

;D
That way you can turf the neighbor's yard and they can't complain since you mow it at the same time.

 

[turbotim2]

I have another one, my Bronco has a chrome liftgate. Yes, the whole thing is chrome.

 

[GubNi]

How about a late 77 high pinion front axle? I know a guy that swears he has one.

He'd have to post up the Dana BOM number off the axle to get that one believed...
