1974 Ford Bronco

1974 Ford Bronco Ranger â?" 302 V8, 4x4, Two-Tone Burnt Orange, Soft Top Why This Car Is Special The first-generation Ford Bronco ran from 1966 through 1977, and those early trucks have become some of the most sought-after American four-wheel-drive vehicles on the collector market. The reason is straightforward: they were purpose-built, body-on-frame trucks with solid axles front and rear, a short 92-inch wheelbase that made them genuinely capable off-road, and enough factory trim options to give buyers real choices. Ford produced the first-gen Bronco in three body styles â?" roadster, half-cab, and wagon â?" but by 1974, the wagon configuration had become the dominant seller, and that's exactly what this truck is. The 1974 model year is particularly interesting from a drivetrain standpoint.
