"Old School" Classic Bronco Looks [Photos Edition] -- post pics of your build!

[OldTimer2021]

Dude I love this!! Please share what info you can about the chrome bumpers! I'm very interested in that!

It is just the stock 60s bronco bumpers. You can get them from several places. I bought the pair from CJ Pony Parts. You will have to fabricate mounts. That is the hardest part. As some have already said, I would like to form them more to the bronco but that is another level of cutting/bending rechroming, etc.

Here's my current build, still planning on adding BF KO's with whites showing, KC Hi-lites light bar and ditch lights.

is that a matte finish on the graphics? Looks cool. The wheels go well with the color of your Bronco, and it being a 2-door is .

Thank you! Yes, the graphic is a matte finish in a dark grey

are the chrome handles and mirrors wrapped? If so, what manufacturer's chrome vinyl did you use? great work

I wanted to get in on this thread. I have wanted to do an old-school retro build since these Broncos came out. Over the past few months, I got it done. Last thing I would love to do is clear glass. It is just a significant expense that is not necessarily needed. I don't know what to do now that I have it done. Turo/Sell?

Thanks for the link! All the chrome handles, mirrors, and wipers are just plastic chrome caps off amazon/ebay.

Hopefully this link works. You have to take the base apart. Get a bolt that matches the OEM stud and grind off the side of the head a bit to fit into the new antenna base. I also got a firewall grommet from the Autoparts shop to better fit the base to the bronco.

Always wanted a 72 Ranger from the moment the 6G came out I knew I was going to build one.

Figured I'd share this update in the "old school" thread! The wheels just went on - next move is some chrome trim - not sure where yet!

Installing some retro styled seat covers. Not sure the rear seat covers will work, and I don’t know how to disassemble rear headrest on the two door. I think the fronts work great to complete the look though.

what kind of wheels are those? I like the look, its different in a good way!

Thanks they are 17 x 7.5 (+30 offset) from Road Ready Wheels - they are replicas of wheels used on the Toyota Tacoma from 2005-2015
It was the closest I could get to a "mag" wheel in a polished finish and higher offset. I really like the way they ride as well - could not detect any difference from the OEM wheels. I was a little concerned because they needed hub rings and my mechanic said they were hard to balance (needed weights) but he nailed it and I avoided the cost of taking it to a road force balancer.
The overall poke is 3/4 inch from OEM wheels (Badlands) but I can barely tell the difference it is so small.

Can you tell me what brand wheel and offset you are using. I'm assuming 17/9 with 315 ?

Yes, your are correct. 17x9 Mickey Thompson Classic III's with a -12 offset. Tires are the original LT315/70R17 Goodyears that come with the Sasquatch package.
