    Brings back memories of my man and his brother building his 1970 Bronco 289. . pulled the engine and tranny beefed up the suspension installed a 4 speed tranny changed out the transfer case PTO and winch 9000 Ramsey, and got a 351 Cleveland from a wrecked Cougar Eliminator running 750 16 rims and tires , looks great runs like a beast 6 months from start to finish ..? it was built in1980 ,it lives in our barn..? They drive it for Hunting and fishing trips only..?
  • Love the historical info and discussion on specific features that distinguish certain years and models. Thanks for creating this.

    I had 66 back in 1970 with the 170 6 cylinder. It had two oil pumps, for going up hill and down hill and held 8 quarts of oil. It had three on the tree with high and low range.

    Fantastic episode by far and I like them all lol. What an impressive collection. Nice story of father passing it down to his kids and Bronco fever down from generation to generation.
  • @DIYSCOTT
    Good stuff. I need to look at my fender aprons now. Thanks for the information!
  • The oblong hole in 66-67 was for access to the lift gate strut bracket nuts, later ones had permanent blind nuts installed

    Love the Broncos but the story behind the truck is great as well. Thanks

    Jimmy has a great collection of rigs and parts !!! Tons of original parts!!! He stopped by my house in south Mississippi and picked up an original halfcab top a few years ago.
  • @markkelly7517
    My 66 was built in Sept 65. Was originally a have cab but somewhere lost the bulkhead and got a full top.
  • @AsgeirSaem
    Another Great informative video. Thumbs up
  • @Superwoody24
    Awesome stuff!! I was a little disappointed Brownie didn't make the cut, Jimmy lol No kidding though, he is a walking Bronco encyclopedia. Enjoyed the episode

    I'm 61, when I was a teenager there was a PTO Jeep in the neighbors farm pasture. It had a trencher hanging off the back. It had a pipe rack and a tow bar on the front. I was told it was never plated and was a trencher it's entire life.

    I learned a few things about Budd bodies that I found on my 11/65 U15. I always knew about the eyebrow grill and drip rail (rain gutter) behind the control pedals but I did not know about the short kick panel. It's interesting that the green U13 has a speedometer with tick marks under the numbers rather than on the outside (top) of the numbers. Might've been swapped out at some point in time?

    Good job you guys. Way cool, keep on bucking.
  • @shawalker
    Great clip Jimmy. Two things - you could have given us 66 289 pony’s a plug. And you could have chosen a better hat for film day! Great collection and thanks for sharing.

    Have y'all ever heard of a U.S.M.C. 67 Bronco ? I bought a 67 hardtop with a USMC nomenclature plate riveted to the dash. The guy I bought it from said he bought it from a military auction in the early 1970's I have not been able to find another one. It belonged to my scout master when I was in scout camp in 1974. Just curious if there are any more out there.
  • I've been interested in Broncos since the 90's. What's rare is a bronco that isn't beat up, hacked on and rusted out! Lol
