Big OLY - started life as a 2 wheel drive

Bunkie Knudsen had a two wheel drive experimental Bronco built with ford cross I-beam front suspension… the rest is history.

Chitt I never knew… or maybe you too.

Very little "Bronco" content in Big Oly.

... you either didn't watch the video... or didn't pay attention.

That experiential Bronco WON the Baja 500 in 1970
basically stock body & frame with twin I-beams

AFTERwards, it was converted to what we know today with full chrome moly tube frame and altered body.
but race vehicles seem to change after each race.


ford I-Beams

I was referring to the one you plastered photos of in your initial post.
