Bronco Hunting - What to Look For?

Becks_Bronco · Post by **Becks_Bronco** » Mon Jan 28, 2019 4:08 pm

So I sold my little Toyota, and I’m looking for another Bronco. I like the 92-96 body style best, and talking with Rob Craven, it sounds like 95 is going to be the one I want to look for. Roller cam, and most parts are available CARB certified.

I know to look for the usual stuff, rust on the lower tailgate, fenders, drip rail etc.

I’d like to find a manual T-Case but I’m not snobby. I’d also prefer tan interior, but again I’m not snobby.

Anything else I should keep in mind while looking? Prices for these things are getting crazy.

I like the 351 over 302 personally

Be weary of buying a “built” truck. Especially if it wasn’t build at a reputable shop. I’ve seen a lot of hack jobs even on rancho lifts.

I’ve been thinking about selling my 1995 Bronco. I may post it up here soon.

agreed, he didn't respond anyways. I would have ripped out half of what he listed he had done anyways.

I think I've found my winner. The paint is nowhere near perfect, but that's minor when the mechanical is good, which it is, plus it's an EB, which I've always been partial to.
