The Ford Bronco is a model line of sport utility vehicles
manufactured and marketed by Ford. The first SUV model developed by
the company, five generations of the Bronco were sold from the 1966
to 1996 model years. A sixth generation of the model line was
introduced for the 2021 model year. The nameplate has been used on
other Ford SUVs, namely the 1984-1990 Bronco II compact SUV and the
2021 Bronco Sport compact crossover. Originally developed as a
compact off-road vehicle using its own chassis, the Bronco
initially competed against the Jeep CJ-5 and International
Harvester Scout. For 1978, Ford enlarged the Bronco, making it a
short-wheelbase version of the F-Series pickup truck; the full-size
Bronco competed against the Chevrolet K5 Blazer and Dodge
Ram-charger.
For consignment, the 1990 version of the Bronco XLT, from
California with no rust, and in wonderful condition. Originally
owned by a physician, and a full binder packed with maintenance
information and any repair receipts, you'll be able to see the full
history of this truck. Bathed in factory white, and American Racing
wheels in each corner for some highlighting, it has been well
maintained and the hard top has never been off of this truck. Climb
every mountain....
Exterior
All straight steel is neatly put together and minding its gapping,
and is all bathed in a combination of a respray and some original
of Colonial white. A nice front shiny grille with bumper below and
good looking contrasting trimmings surround the wheel wells and
exterior glass. Badging is all correct and new, and a walk around
will have you hyped up on the height to give you visions of
sugarplums and wild out of the way places you can get away to. This
generation with its somewhat massaged squared off design and long
wheelbase, Extra Luxurious Truck Trimmings (XLT), American Racing
Polished wheels and large 33x12.5R15LT go anywhere tires will
serenade you when rolling down the highway at full tilt.
Interior
Climbing inside I'm blue with envy as I'm greeted with door panels
bathed in more shades of blue and a highlighting panel of textured
broadcloth pattern and molded vinyl and plastic. Power window
toggles are seen and a lower door storage unit is also molded in
and covered on the lowers with the interior medium blue carpeting.
Seats are broadcloth inserts in various shades of blue with shiny
darker blue broadcloth bolsters. The dash has a well preserved dash
pad, and is nicely painted blue to house the instruments. Some
rounded over wood trimmings can be seen as highlighter and even on
the steering wheel. In the center of the buckets is a large console
with a storage box and drink holders. Like new medium blue
carpeting is installed, and the headliner is tight. It ends at the
beginning of the back of the car and the removable covering is
taking over for the roof covering at this point. Lest I forget a
rear bench seat is sitting in the middle of the bed, and looking
barely used, no cracks or errors.
Drivetrain
Under the hood is the original 5.0 Liter V8 with EFI fuel delivery.
There is an AOD 4-speed automatic transmission which pushes power
rearward to a Ford 9-inch rear axle with a 3.55 gear ratio. Some
dust and slight dirt are noted in this unrestored but nice engine
bay.
Undercarriage
Underneath we note some surface rusting that has started to take up
residence on several surfaces. Framing is sound and all the
mechanicals are working just fine. New brakes and shocks have
recently been put on, and noted is radius arm and coil springs for
the front suspension and leaf springs for the rear. Power disc
brakes are on front and power drums for the rear.
Drive-Ability
This truck started right up and we began our climb (sic) to the
test track. Here it worked as it should with good acceleration, and
decent handling. Brakes are good and should be as they are fairly
new according to the consignor. All electronics were working just
fine, and a recent fresh oil change has been performed. I have
personally experienced driving one of these in the hinterlands of
BLM in Utah, and we could not destroy it. One can assume this truck
has the same toughness, as it is of the same vintage as the one we
were crawling around red rock territory, climbing things that put
fear into my heart, especially when you are looking towards the sky
but still moving forward!
This truck is a very nice example, with sporty wheels, big tires
and a nice blue interior in broadcloth. Storage in the back, nice
ride height, and room for 5, go on git out there into the wilds of
the great USA.
