This 1974 Ford Bronco was acquired by the current owner in 2023 and modified over the next two and a half years with a 351ci V8, a Tremec five-speed manual transmission, and a Kincer chassis. The truck features a Dennis Carpenter replacement body finished in orange and is equipped with a roll cage, air conditioning, a RetroSound stereo, and front bucket seats trimmed in black and orange leather. It has also been fitted with a suspension lift, Wilwood disc brakes, an Atlas transfer case, front and rear limited-slip differentials, and 17″ wheels. This modified Bronco is now offered on dealer consignment in Indiana with service records, build photos, and a clean Michigan title.
The truck features a powder-coated Kincer chassis and a replacement steel body from Dennis Carpenter finished in orange with a hand-painted pin stripe. It is equipped with a black soft top, an eight-point roll cage, chrome bumpers, dual rear mirrors, and a 1970 Cougar Eliminator-style hood scoop. Stainless steel door hinges, a billet fuel cap, billet taillight trim, and AMP Research illuminated and power-retractable running boards have also been installed.
The 17″ Method wheels are mounted with 285/70 BFG All-Terrain tires. The suspension is equipped with a 2″ lift along with dual Bilstein dampers front and rear, coil springs, M&M locking front hubs, and a power-assisted Boregeon steering box. The braking system features four-wheel discs with Wilwood six-piston front and four-piston rear calipers, a Wilwood HydroBoost master cylinder, and an E-Stopp electric parking brake system.
The cabin houses a replacement dash pad from Palco Industries along with front bucket seats and a rear bench trimmed in black leather with orange accents. Amenities include Vintage Air air conditioning, a floor-mounted fire extinguisher, and a RetroSound stereo linked to Pioneer speakers.
The wood-rimmed steering wheel sits on an Ididit column and fronts a Dakota Digital combination instrument with a 120-mph speedometer, an 8k-rpm tachometer, and auxiliary readouts. The replacement digital odometer shows 21 miles.
The 351ci V8 engine was rebuilt during the project and features a Pertronix ignition system, billet accessory drive pulleys, and a 2.5″ stainless steel dual exhaust system. Cooling is handled by an aluminum radiator.
Power is sent to the rear or all four wheels through a Tremec TR-4050 five-speed manual transmission and a dual-range Advance Adapters Atlas transfer case. The front and rear Ford 9″ axles are equipped with 31-spline axles, 4.11:1 gears, and Traction-Lok limited-slip differentials. A stainless steel 23-gallon fuel tank has also been installed.
