We have a dedicated thread for photos of each of the other legacy Bronco generations. It's time to add one for the Dent Sides. Post your pictures of '78 & '79 Broncos here. I don't have one, but I'll start us off with some pictures I took in Colorado at the 2020 Super Celebration West.

Absolutely, I love them. My uncle had a yellow/white just like this one when I was growing up. I think that's what started my love of Broncos.

Had a ‘78 Custom back in the mid ‘80s. Great rig. 400M and C6. Carried me back and forth across the US twice. Will always have a soft spot for gen2’s.

Nice! CB is a rare option - still there? Does it have power steering and/or air conditioning? Looks like a highly optioned Custom.

Yeah CB and antenna still there (in barnyard pics), and has power steering/brakes. When I aquired the Bronco it had an aftermarket CB, and always wondered what that big connector was under the dash. Once it was identified as factory CB option, contacted the original owner to ask and what do you know, they found the remote mic! Been in a drawer for 20+ years lol crazyl

Just thinking about high school and first off roading experiences in a friends, brother in-laws beautiful 78 Bronco. He let us borrow and explore the great outdoors in it. I believe it was both with and without permission! ;) Needless to say we had a blast in it. May have gotten ourselves miles into a non access, state park property staring at a gate and huge logs preventing us from making our escape….err exit back onto the road. And strangely a state park ranger staring back at us on the other side of the gate. Quite the pickle. After listening to are BS story he unlocked the gate and had us pull over and read us the riot act. Then he laughed and sent us on our way. Ahh fond memories! Not the actual one but this is what she looked like!

I wish Goodyear would bring back the US produced Wrangler AT in 31" and 32", it fits the truck as well as BFG's imho. I've admired this one too, great looking bronco!
