I just bought a 1966 Bronco
It DOES have the same 289 V8 as the Mustang of the same year (Mustang related thread)!
Like I need another car! It is in great condition, so I couldn't resist.
My son and daughter have been saying we need a winter 4wd vehicle that we can also drive on the beach. I said, then I get to pick it out and this is what we got. 289, 3 speed, drivetrain rebuilt recently:
With those big tires and 3" chassis/3" body lift, I should be able to roll it over quite easily on the ice!!!

That looks like waaay to much fun!!! I love the diamond plate details. I would get into some serious trouble with that truck. A friend of mine just bought an old Jeep. This has me thinking. Is there room in my garage for another project?

It has a Horse Emblem on it too, so there's some more uh, sorta relevant thread material.
My neighbor does both Mustangs and Broncos also. His son and him both have great Broncos, and his son just emailed out a camper trailer restore he just finished.
Talent is talent, and seeing some nice work no matter what the ride, is the reason I love this hobby.

Man, I miss my old Bronco. What a sweet truck.
Good thing you got power brakes, with those tires manual would be a bear to stop, ask me how I know. I can't tell, but hopefully someone put discs on the front.
