Generation 3: From the Trail to the Interstate �€" Ford Bronco: A
History of Ford's Legendary 4x4 by Todd Zuercher In its third
iteration, Bronco set out to blaze further fresh territory. This
time, key innovations boosted fuel economy and ensured a smoother
ride, both on-road and off. A change from solid front axle to
independent front suspension (Twin-Traction Beam) was implemented
to improve ride characteristics while not compromising ground
clearance in rough terrain. New models also offered more luxury
amenities, without sacrificing on the capability front. Offered
here is a 1983 Ford Bronco XLT, a well-maintained Florida truck
professionally refinished in metallic brown-and-white over black.
The truck's five-digit odometer shows 33, 274 miles, however the
Carfax history notes that the odometer has likely rolled over and
this reading is not the total mileage. The Bronco's exterior
metallic-brown and white finish is in very good condition across
the entire truck, clearly the result of professional paintwork.
Only the hood and steel top show any signs of fading or patina
while the white fiberglass roof shows limited paint delamination.
The paint scheme-white fiberglass top, brown upper-body, white
mid-body, and brown lower-body-matches the factory style. There are
no dings, dents, or damage anywhere on the truck's sheet-metal
panels. (To best assess the quality of the paint and trim finishes,
please be sure to view the close-up photographs of the car in the
accompanying gallery.) Chrome on the handsome front grille, front
bumper (rear bumper is painted black), body-side trim, and West
Coast-style side mirrors exhibits excellent finish quality; door
handles show some pitting and patina from age. The tailgate's
brushed-metal trim piece is in very good condition with only minor
dents. Badging-including the Ford blue-oval emblems front and back
and the front-fender Bronco XLT badges-are properly in place. Cabin
glass and lighting lenses are clear with no cracks. The Bronco
features a mild lift kit. Aftermarket, 15-inch, dish-style,
polished alloy wheels in excellent condition are mounted with
General® Grabber A/T 33x12.50 LT all-terrain tires (a matching
spare is mounted on the swing-away rear carrier). The front axle
features lock-out hubs. The Bronco's black interior shows evidence
of regular use. (Please view the close-up photography in the
gallery to assess the condition of the Bronco's interior surfaces.)
Door trim shows some light fading; cabin and cargo area black
carpeting is in good condition; front seats have been upgraded with
Corbeau® high-back buckets (the passenger cushion has an impact
mark) while the rear (removable) bench seat retains original
upholstery in excellent condition. Sony® audio speakers have been
added to the cabin; cargo-area walls have been re-covered. The
2-spoke, blue-oval-branded steering wheel frames the full XLT
instrument package including 85-mph speedometer, 6,000-rpm
tachometer, and monitoring gauges for fuel level, oil pressure,
coolant temperature, and alternator output. A Kenwood® audio head
unit is mounted in the factory-radio location above slide-lever
controls for the HVAC system and two upgraded additional auxiliary
SunPro® gauges for oil pressure and coolant temperature mounted
below the dash. The transfer-case selector lever is floor-mounted
while the shift lever for t
