This 1978 Ford Bronco Custom is finished in red with a white removable hardtop over a replacement two-tone black and red interior, and power is from a 351ci V8 paired with a four-speed manual transmission and a dual-range transfer case. Equipment includes a bull bar with KC auxiliary lights, power steering, Mickey Thompson beadlock wheels, bucket seats, and a Kenwood CD stereo. Work performed since December 2020 is said to have included rebuilding the carburetor, adjusting the engine timing, and replacing the rear brakes, front sway bar bushings, and valve cover gaskets.
The truck was refinished in red under previous ownership, and it is equipped with a white removable hardtop. Additional exterior features include chrome bumpers, a bull bar with integrated KC Daylighter auxiliary lights, western-style side mirrors, a power rear window, and a rear-mounted spare tire. Work performed under current ownership included refinishing the tailgate and spare tire mount to correct scratches, as well as replacing the driver’s door gasket, the side window division bar glass runs, and the rear license plate lights. Touch-up paintwork is noted on the passenger door and on the front cowling.
The 15″ Mickey Thompson Classic II beadlock wheels wear 31×10.5″ Wild Country Radial XTX tires. The truck is equipped with a RedHead steering gear. Recent work included replacing the beadlock ring bolts, lug nuts, front sway bar ends and bushings, and the rear brake drums.
The cabin is finished in the body color features front bucket seats and a rear bench upholstered in replacement black vinyl with custom-made red vinyl inserts that are quilted with black stitching. Equipment includes power steering, a lockable center console with integrated cup holders, and a rubber floor liner. Sound deadening is present below the floor liner, and paint chips are noted in the door jambs.
The black dashboard houses the climate controls and a Kenwood CD stereo. A replacement steering wheel frames an 85-mph speedometer and gauges for fuel level, oil pressure, the alternator, and coolant temperature. Work performed by the seller included replacing the speedometer cable and overhauling the instrument cluster with a replacement printed circuit board and light bulbs. The five-digit odometer shows approximately 26k miles, 350 of which were added by the seller. True mileage is unknown.
The 351ci V8 sends power to the rear or all four wheels through a four-speed manual transmission and a dual-range transfer case. The engine timing and idle were adjusted in March 2021, and additional recent work included rebuilding the carburetor, the installation of an electronic choke, and replacing the starter motor, valve cover gaskets, valve cover breather cap, spark plugs, engine air filter, and the windshield washer fluid reservoir and pump.
