Ford Bronco Spotters Guide - SUV Bio - Four Wheeler Network
The Ford Bronco (produced in the Wayne, Michigan, Ford truck plant) was introduced with the ’66 model and lived a long 31-year production life. The last year of production for the United States was marked by the ’96 model and was then replaced by the four-door Ford Expedition. As with the popular Ford pickups, the aftermarket offered plenty of upgrades for the Bronco, and crossover OEM parts were plentiful. The Wagon was the most common and offered a full-length roof with upper body sides installed on the basic body. Smooth, contoured door openings filled in a portion of the area where full steel doors were used on the other models. The models offered either bench or bucket front seats, and an optional rear seat. Up front, Ford offered what it called the Mono-Beam Suspension. Straight axles were used with the front axle connected to the chassis via forged steel radius arms and a lateral track bar. Ford boasted about the “wide” 57-inch track width of the first-generation Bronco. Coil springs were used up front, while conventional leaf springs were used in the rear. Source: www.fourwheeler.com
