This old Ford truck says Custom Cab on the fender in white. I looked it up and I think it may be a truck built in the 1970’s. I could sure use some help on the year or even the decade. There is also a Ford Bronco in the background. I am not sure what make the old tractor is, but if it is a Ford I have to change my title. HTT.
"The reason I moved to California the first time was to build the Cobra. I thought it was stupid to have a 1918 taxicab engine in what Europeans like to call a performance car when a little American V-8 could do the job better."

Silver Lake sand dunes August 2019 - Looking forward to a little change in the weather.
The original Bronco was an off-road vehicle (ORV) intended to compete primarily with Jeep CJ models and the International Harvester Scout. The Bronco's small size, riding on a 92-inch (2,337 mm) wheelbase, made it maneuverable for some uses, but impractical as a tow vehicle. The Bronco was Ford's first compact SUV. The idea behind the Bronco began with Ford product manager Donald N. Frey, who also conceived the Ford Mustang; Lee Iacocca pushed the idea through to production. In many ways, the Bronco was a more original concept than the Mustang; whereas the Mustang was based upon the Ford Falcon, the Bronco had a frame, suspension, and body that were not shared with any other vehicle. The Bronco was designed under engineer Paul G. Axelrad. The axles and brakes from the Ford F-100 four wheel drive pickup truck were used, but the front axle was located by radius arms (from the frame near the rear of the transmission forward to the axle). A lateral track bar allowed the use of coil springs that gave the Bronco a 34-foot (10.4 m) turning circle, long wheel travel, and an anti-dive geometry, which was useful for snowplowing. The rear suspension was more conventional, with leaf springs in a typical Hotchkiss design. A shift-on the-fly Dana transfer case and locking hubs were standard, and heavy-duty suspension was an option. The initial engine was the Ford 170 cu in (2.8 L) straight-6, modified with solid valve lifters, a 6-US-quart (6 l) oil pan, heavy-duty fuel pump, oil-bath air cleaner, and a carburetor with a float bowl compensated against tilting. Styling was subordinated to simplicity and economy, so all glass was flat, bumpers were straight C-sections, the frame was a simple box-section ladder, and the basic left and right door skins were identical except for mounting holes. The early Broncos were offered in wagon, pickup, and a less popular roadster configuration. The roadster version was dropped, and the sport package, which later became a model line, was added. The base price was US$2,194, with a long option list that included front bucket seats, a rear bench seat, a tachometer, and a CB radio, as well as functional items such as a tow bar, an auxiliary gas tank, a power take-off, a snowplow, a winch, and a posthole digger. Aftermarket accessories included campers, overdrive units, and the usual array of wheels, tires, chassis, and engine parts for increased performance. The Bronco sold well in its first year (23,776 units produced[6]) and remained in second place after the CJ-5[7] until the advent of the full-sized Chevrolet Blazer in 1969. Lacking a dedicated small SUV platform, the Blazer was based on Chevrolet's existing full-size pickup, which was a larger and more powerful vehicle, offering greater luxury, comfort, and space. The Blazer's longer option list included an automatic transmission and power steering, and thus had broader appeal. Ford countered by enlarging the optional V8 engine from 289 cu in (4.7 L) and 200 hp (150 kW) to 302 cu in (4.9 L) and 205 hp (153 kW), but this still could not match the Blazer's optional 350 cu in (5.7 L) and 255 hp (190 kW) (horsepower numbers are from before horsepower ratings changed in the early to mid-1970s). In 1973, the 170 was replaced by a 200 cu in (3.3 L) straight six, power steering and an automatic transmission were made optional, and sales increased to 26,300. By then, however, Blazer sales were double those of the Bronco, and International Harvester had come out with the Scout II, a vehicle closer to the Blazer in its specifications. By 1974, larger and more comfortable vehicles such as the Jeep Cherokee (SJ) made more sense for the average driver than the more rustically oriented Bronco. The low sales of the Bronco (230,800 over twelve years) did not allow a large budget for upgrades, and it remained basically unchanged until the advent of the larger, more Blazer-like second-generation Bronco in 1978. Production of the original model fell to 14,546 units in its last year, 1977.
The Ford Bronco is a multi-purpose vehicle (MPV, predating the term SUV) manufactured and marketed by Ford from 1966 to 1996, over five generations of vehicles. Ford has described plans to reintroduce the Bronco in 2020. The Bronco was introduced in 1966 as a competitor to the small four-wheel-drive compact SUVs that included the Jeep CJ-5 and International Harvester Scout; it was built on its own platform. A major redesign in 1978 enlarged the Bronco, using a shortened Ford F-Series truck chassis to compete with the similarly adapted Chevy K5 Blazer and the Dodge Ramcharger. Most Broncos are equipped with a swing-away spare tire carrier on the outside of the rear door. From 1966 to 1996, Broncos were produced at Ford's Michigan Truck Plant in Wayne, Michigan. After years of rumors, Ford announced that the Bronco would return for the 2020 model year, made in its former assembly plant. 1966-1977: The original Bronco was an off-road vehicle (ORV) intended to compete primarily with Jeep CJ models and the International Harvester Scout.

The Ford Bronco Sport is a compact crossover SUV sold by Ford and marketed under the Bronco nameplate. It was released alongside the Bronco body-on-frame SUV, featuring a similar retro and off-road styling in a smaller footprint. The vehicle is based on the front-wheel drive-based, unibody C2 platform, which is also used by the Ford Escape crossover and Maverick pickup
X-box
We arrived home yesterday afternoon from our holiday, and the latest edition of my favourite X-box game was ready to download. 102Gb and a few hours later it was ready!
This is my Ford Bronco… I’d come off a bridge, and was making my way to the road as I took this screenshot.
This edition is set in Mexico.
Forza Horizon 4 was set in northern England and Scotland.
A great X-box game !
We used to be a Ford family forever, then I got my first VW Beetle. Still a Ford fan. Look at this cutie patootie convertible Ford Bronco truck that was in the Publix parking lot the other day. Have you ever!
The Lil Blue Bronco hauled dau and sil up the Million Dollar Highway to Silverton today. Taking a break here at Molas Pass Summit. They have installed guardrails on the scariest dropoffs since I was last here. Takes a little bit of the thrill out of what was one of the scariest drives on pavement. Tomorrow we go up the other side of the Great Divide to the little mining town of Creede. Will hit a little dirt up there.
Another chance vehicular encounter for our trio occurred on the streets of Boulder when we found an absolutely pristine Bronco.
ETA: This one made it into Explore. Thanks, everyone!
On this Sunday January 29th, 2023 afternoon ,we see three friends trying to get one their vehicles unstuck off of Forest Rd 124 near Old Blue Lake in western section of Hazzard Range National Forest ,but in Clay county a big chunk is made up of the forest
Happy Truck Thursday - This mostly topless First-Gen Bronco was in great condition. Seen at the September 2019 Morris Il Cruise Night. Three exposure HDR processed with Nik HDR Efex Pro 2
Sometimes, when you pull up to a car show (or a store or a car lot), there's just that one vehicle or item that stands out above all the others. At this car show earlier this year, this was that vehicle! It almost looked like a toy that I could pick up and take home...the perfect color, the perfect size, and looked like a lot of fun!! I need to find me one of these...

Here’s my *hopefully* final version of the new Ford Bronco. I already designed another version, but I wasn't quite satisfied with the end result. So I have completely redesigned the headlights and grill area, the back, converted the cab to 7 studs wide, raised the hood, added some top detail, and made a couple different fun versions of the vehicle... so alot of changes. Hope y’all enjoy!
The Ford Bronco is a utility vehicle that was produced by Ford from 1966 to 1996, with five distinct generations. All these vehicles are currently classified as sport utility vehicles (SUV). Broncos can be divided into two categories: early Broncos (1966–77) and full-size, or "Big" Broncos (1978–96). The Bronco was introduced in 1966 as a competitor to the small four-wheel-drive compact SUVs that included the Jeep CJ-5 and International Harvester Scout, and it was built on its own platform. A major redesign in 1978 moved the Bronco to a larger size, using a shortened Ford F-Series truck chassis to compete with both the similarly adapted Chevy K5 Blazer, as well as the Dodge Ramcharger. The full-size Broncos and the successor Expedition were produced at Ford's Michigan Truck Plant in Wayne, Michigan. The original Bronco was an ORV (Off-Road Vehicle), intended to compete primarily with Jeep CJ models and the International Harvester Scout. The Bronco's small size riding on a 92-inch (2,337 mm) wheelbase made it maneuverable for some uses, but impractical as a tow vehicle. The Bronco was Ford's first compact SUV.

The rear suspension was more conventional, with leaf springs in a typical Hotchkiss design. A shift-on the-fly Dana Holding Corporation transfer case and locking hubs were standard, and heavy-duty suspension was an option.

Styling was subordinated to simplicity and economy, so all glass was flat, bumpers were straight C-sections, the frame was a simple box-section ladder, and the basic left and right door skins were identical except for mounting holes. The early Broncos were offered in wagon, halfcab, and a less popular roadster configuration. The roadster version was dropped and the sport package, which later became a model line, was added. The base price was US$2,194, but the long option list included front bucket seats, a rear bench seat, a tachometer, and a CB radio, as well as functional items such as a tow bar, an auxiliary gas tank, a power take-off, a snowplow, a winch, and a posthole digger.

In 1973, the 170 was replaced by a 200 cu in (3.3 L) straight six, power steering and automatic transmissions were made optional, and sales spiked to 26,300. By then, however, Blazer sales were double those of the Bronco, and International Harvester had seen the light and come out with the Scout II that was more in the Blazer class. By 1974, the larger and more comfortable vehicles such as the Jeep Cherokee (SJ) made more sense for the average driver than the more rustically oriented Bronco. The low sales of the Bronco (230,800 over twelve years) did not allow a large budget for upgrades, and it remained basically unchanged until the advent of the larger, more Blazer-like second generation-Bronco in 1978. Production of the original model fell (14,546 units) in its last year, 1977.

I spent about 15 minutes talking with the owner of this awesome 1970 Ford Bronco...he told me about when he bought it in 1974 and how this used to be his hunting truck and all the dents & dings it got during all those years getting him around in the woods. And how his daughter learned to drive in this vehicle, and how it sat for about 10 years before his wife suggested that he "do something with it". That suggestion resulted in a full restoration to the great piece of machinery that you see here. It is the original color but has mostly all new body panels. The interior is also original except for the blue tinted tough liner that he had sprayed throughout the inside. The engine and transmission are original (with obvious rebuilds). And...this was one of the best experiences I had at this show because of the personal interaction with the great owner who loves his Bronco.
