Hello, I've had several fords, chevys , jeeps but never a bronco. I'm interested in getting one but would like to know the best year to get. I've already seen some features i would like to have: dual tanks, 351, auto, or 4speed, 33" tires ( I do alot of road travel, but also off road on weekends).How is it for towing, I'll be getting a small trailer for 2 quads. Any help you could give would be apreciated. Thanks

Hey Ace,<br><br>The "best" year is a relative term since everyone wants something different, but there are a few differences that may narrow down your search. Basically I'd decide on the options that were most important for me and then see what years came with these options.<br><br>For example do you want power steering? Power brakes? Disc brakes? 3 speed or auto transmission? Early Broncos never came stock with 4 speeds or 351's so you'll have to look for modified rigs if you want these options. To get the more "luxury" options (ie PS, PDB, AT, etc) you'll probably be looking at the later years (75-77) Only thing to keep in mind is that these were also the first years for emmissions requirements. Be sure the engine has all the correct and working emmissions parts before buying.<br><br>Here's a good history written up by a local club member Todd Z. -<br><a href=http://www.off-road.com/~ebbarn/History.html target=new>http://www.off-road.com/~ebbarn/History.html</a><br>Here's another good link that has a handy chart showing what years came with what.<br><a href=http://w3.one.net/~marc/broncohio/tech/broncochart.html target=new>http://w3.one.net/~marc/broncohio/tech/broncochart.html</a><br><br>Ho\ pe this helps.<br><br>Jon Hanna<br>webmaster@...<br><a href=http://ClassicBroncos.com target=new>http://ClassicBroncos.com</a>

Thanks for the info. It was very useful. I dont suppose you know where I can find a used one cheap (1500-2000) with v8?

No one I know personally is selling one, but you might want to check out my Bronco classified page. Go to <a href=http://forum.classicbroncos.com/ target=new>http://forum.classicbroncos.com/</a> and click on "Classifieds" <br><br>You can also post a "wanted" ad if you feel like it. Let people know what you're looking for, where you are and maybe what kind of price range you're looking at. Maybe you can find someone near you selling one.<br><br>Jon Hanna<br>webmaster@...<br><a href=http://ClassicBroncos.com target=new>http://ClassicBroncos.com</a>
