History of Ford's Legendary 4x4 by Todd Zuercher Following its
successful debut, Bronco sales reached record levels after the
launch of the 2nd generation Bronco in 1978. The first two years of
the larger and more luxurious Bronco were some of the most popular
in the 30-year production run. Bronco shifted to a larger platform
and body-style sharing components with the F-Series truck while
maintaining key off-road capabilities including maneuverability,
and approach, departure, and breakover angles. Offered here is a
1979 second-generation Ford Bronco freshly restored in silver over
gray-and black with a black fiberglass top. The truck's odometer
currently shows 26,362, although the 5-digit odometer has likely
rolled over. The exterior silver paint is the result of a
comprehensive professional respray. All metal surfaces-including
door jambs, door and hood edges, and tailgate sides--were properly
re-painted. The paint is excellent overall with a uniformly smooth
finish and consistent high gloss free of flaws. The quality of the
paintwork exceeds the factory standards back when the truck was
assembled by Ford. There are no dings, dents, or other damage to
any sheet metal. (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.) The black-painted, original
fiberglass top is also free of imperfections. All factory badging
was removed from the body before painting resulting in a smooth,
uncluttered look. A mild lift kit is installed for a perfect
stance. Chrome and bright-metal finishes on the bumpers, grille,
headlight trim, door handles, dual-exhaust tips, and side mirrors
have been very well-maintained with superb reflectivity and no
damage. Lightly tinted cabin glass and all lighting lenses are
clear and unmarred. Polished-alloy, ProComp® 8-hole, 15-inch
aftermarket wheels are mounted with Cooper® Discoverer A/T3
33x12.50 LT tires. Inside, stock door trim-panels, cargo-area
walls, and cabin carpeting (continuing throughout the cargo area)
are all rendered in black. The tailgate features a black
hard-plastic insert. Front bucket seats and the removable rear
bench seat are freshly upholstered in vertically pleated soft gray
fabric in pristine condition. A gray, lockable, deep storage box
with cupholders is mounted between the front seats. The
black-and-gray theme continues with a matte-black Grant® GT
steering wheel framing a black padded dash with metal surfaces
painted in the silver body color. Instruments are square-design and
controls for the heat and ventilation are stock slide-levers. The
shift lever for the 4-speed manual transmission is mounted on the
center floor adjacent to the 4WD transfer-case selector. Under the
hood, the 351-cubic-inch Ford V8 is nicely dressed with an
Edelbrock® branded, finned, open-sided, air-cleaner cover and
Powered by Ford finned valve covers. The engine bay is clen and
orderly. Viewed from below, the chassis is straight, complete, and
free of damage. The properly installed lift kit and the
dual-exhaust a visual focal point. Most metal surfaces have been
treated with rust-inhibitor so light surface rust is limited to
some untreated metal, notably on the exhaust system. While the more
than 135 high-definition photographs and the short
walk-around-and-startup video available on the GarageKeptMotors
website showcase this '79 Bronco in detail from every angle,
