I had one too, crawled all over the 4 corners and northern AZ area in the 70's. I sold it and bought my current 59 Fleetside.

My dad's '66 Wagoneer on the day he bought it, and later doing some backcountry exploration.

My dad had another Wagoneer, a J10 and a J20 at different times. I've still got a very early grille, a straight fender and a full set of hubcaps for early Jeeps. I've also got pictures of the J20 somewhere.

Re: Vintage 4wd Pictures:Other Makes
 

I saw when you showed that another time. That thing was cool! I always wished mine was an earlier one with small window and bullet signals. I really would have liked a panel the most. My dad had a '53 for a while,then sold it to get a new '63 Panel that he made into a camper/family wagon with crank out camper windows. I sold the '66 to my girlfriend. She got run off the road by some gawkers hauling a cattle trailer. I ended up finding an earlier panel for the body with 5 crank-out windows,like my dad's,and swapped everything over.
Those are great pictures and I like hearing about the family Jeep history. I miss seeing those Wagoneers and Gladiators/J-series around.

Some Power Wagons:

Re: Vintage 4wd Pictures:Other Makes
 

I would have loved to ride to school in a power wagon school bus.

Re: Vintage 4wd Pictures:Other Makes
 

A restored woody Power Wagon! That is too cool!

Re: Vintage 4wd Pictures:Other Makes
 

How about living in a mountain village where every vehicle is some sort of Power Wagon. Sounds like a fairy tale

Re: Vintage 4wd Pictures:Other Makes
 

A Fairy Tale I wouldnt Mind Living In :metal:

Re: Vintage 4wd Pictures:Other Makes
 

This fine looking Power Wagon Fire Engine Ebay. On sale $49000.00.

Lovin the bug catcher rear seat on that Scout!

Re: Vintage 4wd Pictures:Other Makes
 

I've always like those Broncos. Those and the little Bobtails. After that...eh
Now those are bobtails I always liked. Yours id just right!

Re: Vintage 4wd Pictures:Other Makes
 

Well, it happened again!
I can't seem to shake the "green disease".
Unlike most of my "other brand" 4x4/6x6 trucks which are GM, Kaiser Jeep or AM General, this one is a 1962 International. Originally a dump truck, somewhere along the line it was converted to a cargo bed. It's powered by a Continental 6602 gas engine.

Re: Vintage 4wd Pictures:Other Makes
 

Hey Mudman, I have a 78 bronco with a 460. I've had it since I was 16, 17 years ago. It has been all over Idaho and Montana, playing in the mud and snow. I have pics somewhere, I have to do some digging.

Re: Vintage 4wd Pictures:Other Makes
 

Hey odog, nice to see someone else has a Bronco, I generally like GM's for easy parts swapping and great powertrains, also nice visual lines to almost any GM, the Fords are hard and stubborn to work on, have to say though that the 454 in my 71 Gm and the 460 I had in the Bronco with almost identical horsepower of about 525hp were 2 different engines, the Gm has to rev a bit to get to the real torque but the Ford was right off the line. I ran almost same setup on both trucks and the 450 from 1st to 2nd shift would actually smoke the 38.5" Boggers even with almost no rpm, was just cool, both back tires would roast way to easy even with a 3.55 rear gear, the Gm is a bit hard to drive as a standard but more controllable, still just backes the tires, love too much power. Here is another pic of Bronco.

Re: Vintage 4wd Pictures:Other Makes
 

So tell us some on your 78 Bronco odog.

Re: Vintage 4wd Pictures:Other Makes
 

Ok,I admit it,I like 78/79 Broncos:

Re: Vintage 4wd Pictures:Other Makes
 

Some nice Bronco's, nice Scout earlier too, had a 63 with 6" lift too.
http://i1199.photobucket.com/albums/...j/DSCF6213.jpg One more.

Re: Vintage 4wd Pictures:Other Makes
 

Well, my bronco aint near as tough as yours, I bought it from an old guy when I was 16, he took pretty good care of it, it had the stock cb that plugs into the dash, white wagon wheels with 31x10.50's. stock 351 M, a nice ride. I took pretty good care of it, but I took it hunting, playing in the desert sand and mud here. I put 33X12.50 thornbirds on it when I was a senior, then when I graduated I drove it to college in Dillon MT. The summer between my freshman and sophmore year I put the 460 in. Nothing radical, stock 460, edebrock performer intake,cam,carb and timing set, thats about it, but what a HUGE difference from the old 351. What I liked is it dropped right in like it belonged there. I really started to play then, would try to climb anything I could find, any mudhole I came across I went through. It was my daily driver for 10 years, then I got my 69 together and started alternating between the 2. A few months ago I had tranny problems in the 69 so I was driving the bronco quite a bit. I was headed to my parents house to cut some wood and about 5 miles before there house I lost the rearend. Broke the pinion. So now it sits while I get a new ring and pinion for it. I think while I am at it I will rebuild the front end, its kinda sloppy, needs ball joints.

Anyway, sorry this is so long, and about a ford on a chevy site, but man I love that bronco. I got some pics that I will scan and post tonight.

Re: Vintage 4wd Pictures:Other Makes
 

ok here are some pics, I could only find one of the thornbirds, when I first got them. Most of these are when I had the stupid BFG all terrains, NOT good tires.Attachment 870972[ATTACH][ATTACH]Attachment 870976[/ATTACH][/ATTACH] Here is when I put the 460 in, we had a few to many one night and got the yellow paint out:lol:Attachment 870973

here are some more Bald mountain west of Dillon Mt in the background on this oneAttachment 870982

Topless at the Red Horse Mine north of Fairfeild IdahoAttachment 870983

And stuck in a 200 yard long snow drift in the blacktail mountains south of Dillon MTAttachment 870984

I will try to find more with the thornbirds, these are all in photo albums somewhere in the house and garage. I got those BFG's cheep when I graduated college, money was tight and like I said the bronco was my daily driver. The funny thing is I got more miles out of the thornbirds than I did the BFG's:lol:

Re: Vintage 4wd Pictures:Other Makes
 

Thanks for the pictures of the Bronco, cool truck and fun too. May be a Ford on a Chevy site but at least it's not jap but on that note if done right just about anything can be cool for sure. Just came in from garage all night, built a short block 454, waiting for Dart parts to be dropped off, then tore down a 400 Small block Gm for the next project, Hotrodding just doesn't seem like work especially when you get to drive it and set it up later. Later odog.

Re: Vintage 4wd Pictures:Other Makes
 

I hear ya, right now I am working on swapping 3/4 ton running gear under my truck. Going through front and rears to make sure they are good. I have two hobbies, one I get paid for, Im a driller and blaster here and I love my job, I get paid to use dynamite. The other hobbie is my truck and bronco. I gwt home at night and my 2 daughters and I will goto the garage and work on the axles, before that it was the transmission. We are always doing something. I am no mechanic, but I am not affraid to try and I hope my girls learn something in the process.

Re: Vintage 4wd Pictures:Other Makes
 

Both of your Broncos are nice. They make a super tough truck with big tires (especially being the only fullsize soid axles) and are proud and handsome when more mild. Very classy I think. Here's a couple more:

Re: Vintage 4wd Pictures:Other Makes
 

I sure like the round headlight stle better in 78 than the 79 rect style, I used aftermarket HID's in mine but was still rect, nicer though.
One last pic, man I am missing it now, but wanted the GM back.

Re: Vintage 4wd Pictures:Other Makes
 

I always figured,since way back,these Broncos would be destined for high collectibility. First of all,they look nice,strong and bold. But,the only made them two years,they are the first full size,the last of the solid axle,and the last of the Ford truck body design that ran from '67(in my mind). Some will say '73,but I don't see any big change there. In '80 Ford stepped into the modern age with styling. After all,it was the 80s!!! :lol: GM did with a new front end,but it was still the same overall truck since '73. I feel GM went modern then,just more gradual since it was so much earlier. Ford kept the overall outline of the late-60s trucks (that wasn't all that different from the 61-66s) till '80. Really,ever since Ford bodies went square in '58 they made gradual transitions and kinda kept a similar shape through the years.
BTW,I always liked the 58-60s.

Re: Vintage 4wd Pictures:Other Makes
 

My favorite F250s...58-60:

Re: Vintage 4wd Pictures:Other Makes
 

Here are some pics of my 74 Landcruiser and 68 Bronco. They are the only toyota and Ford I will drive! but both have LS1's in them and Dana 44's underneath them. not much factory stuff left here but the frames and tubs.

I dont have any action pics on this PC other then my son the first time he got to drive my crawler at Pismo when he was 14 years old. No Fear as you can see.

The pics of both rigs on the trailer behind my Dodge are an the way to the Rubicon trail where we typically wheel them. I wil move some trail pics on this pc and post them later.

Cool thread, nice to look at everyones other rigs.

Re: Vintage 4wd Pictures:Other Makes
 

Very nice. They look like really well built rigs. I always liked the "Jeep sized" vehicles and wished GM had made one. I often looked at my 69-72 Blazers and Jimmys over the years and contemplated shrinking one down. It's funny,these days you see things like that. Back then it was seen as far fetched. The other alternative was just as you did...built tuff with Chevy stuff.

Re: Vintage 4wd Pictures:Other Makes
 

A couple more '60s,then some 62/63s:

Re: Vintage 4wd Pictures:Other Makes
 

How bout a full tube chassis crewcab with a Cummins.

Re: Vintage 4wd Pictures:Other Makes
 

That is a sweet old Ford, I preety much like anything old, not a total Gm freak, had all makes a time or 2, but the thing is cool is cool who ever makes it. It is all about the build, works or doesn't, that one does in a lot of ways.:mm:

Re: Vintage 4wd Pictures:Other Makes
 

Nice '66! Must be a Dodge rear axle. Man,those things are wide!!!

I'm in "did I show this one" mode in this thread...

Re: Vintage 4wd Pictures:Other Makes
 

Here's my old Dodge Power Wagon with my son standing next to it. Sorry the picture isnt that vintage, maybe 10 or 12 years ago?

Re: Vintage 4wd Pictures:Other Makes
 

Nice! Is that a '70 or '71? That's an old picture,older than many here. The "vintage" part is the age of the trucks...today,yesterday,10 years ago,when brand new. To me it's early-70s and earlier. Before the trend caught on as it did about everywhere

Re: Vintage 4wd Pictures:Other Makes
 

Here's my wife's daily driven 67 CJ5. It's got a V6, and is a blast to drive. The next year or 2 will see a real paint job on it.

Re: Vintage 4wd Pictures:Other Makes
 

I dont even remember the year lol. I saw it sitting for sale and I always loved those Power Wagons. Plus the thing was beastly looking. I think I only had it a few months because one of my buddies wanted it and I think I traded him or something ... Man it sucks getting old, I cant remember a thing =)

Re: Vintage 4wd Pictures:Other Makes
 

Well,just so you know,you can definitely call it a 70/71 :lol:
