What year is this beauty?

[Blue71]

Well I came across this beauty today, but can't for the life of me find what year it is I'm usually a little better than that I tried to check the glovebox door, but well...Uh..no glovebox. Looks like it is definitely a Ranger Package, with all the nice interior (Door Panels delete model), but has no chrome trim...I'm gonna say a '75, but maybe i'm missing something in all of its dead giveaway details..lol.. Let me know what ya think, and If I should make an offer and bring this baby home to daddy

You sir must buy this EB and save it, as is.....................and drive it to Super Celebration next year!!!! I'll even buy you a large fire extinguisher before hand!!

Thats just amazing! I want it to add to my collection of useless vehicles lol

Andy, I'm guessing you are saying 75 because of the steering wheel and no disk brakes? I would agree. At first it looked like a 73 auto column but I think the gear indicator is just missing the cover.

It doesn't look like hounds tooth so I would say its an Explorer not a Ranger.

Put it on eBay as "unrestored Bronco with minmimal rust, floor boards recently replaced."

Late '73-'75 woodster.

I like this idea, I call shot gun!!!

If it has drum brakes one front I would say it is a 75.

WOW Andy! That thing looks REAL OLD....Older than '66! It is an absolute engineering marvel...body mounts and all!

I think you have it pegged as a '75. It was obviously a Ranger (Because they used what they had), nice blue houndstooth seats. The determining thing seems to be the steering wheel and steering column. It has the rubber bar wheel '75-'77 and the steering shaft is the '73-75'. So, common ground tells me it is a '75....and still hauling firewood!

Looks like some useable parts there. When are you bringing it home?

 

[half cab]

Got too get me a fire wall like that?

 

[BajaFresh75]

Barris Kustom?

Nice firewall. Love the wooden half cab

 

[Jebus]

Wow! You found a rare factory prototype, Bronco Woodie!
It looks to be the halfcab roadster version.
Thats as hard as it gets right there. It even has the factory rust option.
Later, that came as standard equipment.
The only thing I see missing is the dealer installed vine maple roll bar.
If you don't already have a Bronco Woodie, you buy that one, and you do...

What year was the glove box on the driver's side, i don't recall that.

 

[NGABronco]

Andy, I don't know how you do it, but you manage to find all the rarest EB's known to man!!!%)%)

 

[stout22]

Forget radio delete option this one has the dash delete option!
Is the frame actually from an old bed and the headboard is the front bumper?

 

[phred]

Give Bax a call, It looks like some of his handy wood work. %)
