1973 Ford Bronco U13/U14/U15 1966-1977

This 1973 Ford Bronco underwent a refurbishment in 2023 that involved replacing the body, re-trimming the interior, installing a 302ci V8 crate engine, and refurbishing the drivetrain, suspension, and drum brakes. The body was painted white and fitted with a black Rampage soft top as well as a four-point roll bar, while the frame was sandblasted and refinished in black. Brown leather with diamond-stitched accents covers the seats, which are accompanied by a wood-rimmed Mark 7 steering wheel, a Classic Instruments combination gauge, and a RetroSound stereo. The engine features a Holley Quick Fuel carburetor, a Weiand aluminum intake manifold, and stainless-steel shorty headers and is linked to a C4 three-speed automatic transmission paired with a Dana 20 dual-range transfer case. Further equipment include a limited-slip rear differential, WARN manually locking front hubs, and 15″ US Mags wheels. Acquired by the seller in 2023, this Bronco is now offered in Canada with clean Alberta registration. The replacement body was sourced from Legacy Speed and Body, painted in Wimbledon White, and fitted atop the refurbished frame using a 2″ body lift kit, according to the seller. Bronco Sport badging adorns the fenders, and the raised Ford lettering on the tailgate is outlined in red. A retractable black Rampage soft top with removable vinyl windows has been added along with a dual windshield wiper system. The lighting, glass, bumpers, and swing-away rear tire carrier are also said to have been replaced. The polished 15″ US Mags Indy wheels are mounted with 31×10.5″ Hercules Terra Trac T/C Max tires, and the front axle is equipped with WARN manually locking hubs. The manual steering box and four-wheel drum brakes were refurbished as part of the build, and additional work involved installation of a replacement pitman arm, shocks, leaf springs, and traction bars as well as a three-way adjustable tie rod and drag link. The front bucket seats and folding rear bench are trimmed in brown leather with diamond-stitched inserts, which extend to the center armrest atop the locking center console as well as the door and side panels. Matching leather covers the upper dash, and the floors have been coated with bedliner material. A RetroSound stereo is connected to Rockford Fosgate speakers in the doors, and further details include a four-point roll bar as well as a replacement cabin heater, lap belts, sun visors, and carpeted floor mats. The wood-rimmed Mark 7 steering wheel fronts a Classic Instruments combination gauge that incorporates a 140-mph speedometer as well as a tachometer and auxiliary readouts for coolant temperature, voltage, oil pressure, and fuel level. The six-digit odometer shows 25 miles, which is said to represent the distance driven since completion of the build. Total mileage is unknown. The 302ci V8 crate engine is fitted with a Holley Quick Fuel carburetor, a Weiand aluminum intake manifold, and stainless-steel shorty headers. The engine bay and underbody have been coated with black bedliner material. Power is sent to the rear or all four wheels through a C4 three-speed automatic transmission and a Dana 20 dual-range transfer case. A Dana 44 axle is equipped up front, while the Ford 9″ rear end houses a limited-slip differential. The frame was sandblasted and repainted black as part of the build, and a replacement fuel tank has also been fitted. A reproduction VIN sticker has been affixed to the left B-pillar of the replacement body. The VIN stamping on the frame is partially illegible and can be viewed in the gallery.
