'FIRST-GEN' BRONCO, READY TO ENJOY Launched for 1966, the Bronco
was Ford Motor Company's first dedicated 4x4 sport-utility vehicle,
aimed at the growing market already occupied by the Jeep and
International Harvester Scout. Ford staffers Donald N. Frey and
Paul G. Axelrad led Bronco design and mechanicals included a unique
body, frame and suspension, while the brakes and 9-inch rear axle
were borrowed from the Ford F-100 truck line. The 4WD transfer case
was a Dana-sourced unit and through 1971, a Dana 30 front axle was
utilized. Underpinnings comprised a coil-spring front suspension
and leaf springs to the rear. The Bronco's excellent design and
short wheelbase provided a tight 35-foot turning radius.The Bronco
featured a purposeful and instantly recognizable square body design
with flat glass, no-frills bumpers, and a short wheelbase. Initial
body styles included a wagon, pickup-style half-cab, and spartan
roadster. Interior accommodations included front bucket seats, a
rear bench seat, and tachometer. Standard power was provided by
Ford's 105-horsepower, 170 cubic-inch 'six' at the Bronco's launch.
Ford's 289 CI V-8 was optional and by 1968, upsized to 302 CI. A
3-speed, column-shifted manual transmission was the sole gearbox
available and automatic transmissions were not offered until 1973.
Production of the original Bronco continued through 1977 and these
unforgettable on/off-road vehicles are even more popular today than
when new.This outstanding 1969 Ford Bronco benefits from a
