Original 1971 Bronco

Scott is a friend of ours who gave us the story behind his original 1971 Bronco that he uses as a daily driver and for road trips:
Who else has an original or mostly original early Bronco? Love seeing stories like these!

Hey, this is cool!
More, Please!!

Love that video. Really cool Bronco!

Here's mine - I posted this earlier in my "I'm new here" thread, but re-posting here since it's mostly original. It's a 1969, and when I got it everything was bone stock and original except for the paint, the front hitch welded to the bumper, and the cowboy hat holder screwed to the inside of the top by my grandad. Once I got it running, I quickly added springs, a cheap Smittybuilt roll bar, a locking console box, pulled the top off of it and it was my daily driver for a bunch of years.
It was my intro to working on cars. It's taught me a lot about patience and given me an appreciation for simple things that work well.

As we patiently wait for our 2021/2022 Broncos to be built, I enjoy searching through our archives. Some threads truly capture why early broncos have so many loyal owners. It is more than just a truck and the stories told in these videos explain why.
