I stumbled across this 1975 Ford Bronco 4×4 named ‘Bakersfield’ rebuilt by Classic Ford Bronco’s, and love the look of it.
This Bronco was bought new by the owner who dated his wife in it back in the 1970’s. After the Bronco was restored, the owners 97 year old father was the first person to drive it. He’s an avid hunter, and an alligator was on his “bucket hunt list”, so the upholstery was done in custom creme ridgeback gator belly as a living piece of taxidermy. This Bronco has the right shade of blue combined with the white top, grill, and interior to give a cool retro but modern look.
The engine and transmission is long gone and has been updated with a 435 horse Coyote 5.0L backed by a 4R70W automatic transmission.

About The Author
Growing up, my father always believed that every family needed a truck—there’s just something about having a vehicle capable of hauling anything at a moment’s notice. That philosophy stuck with me, and it’s been the foundation of my lifelong passion for Ford trucks.
While I’m best known for my work with Ford Rangers, I’ve owned a wide variety of Ford trucks over the years—including F-150s, F-250s, F-350s, and even larger rigs like the Ford Excursion, Ford Expedition, and a 1982 Ford Econoline Sportsmobile camper van. I’ve used these vehicles for everything from family transportation to towing car trailers and campers, and each one has fueled my love for Ford’s versatility and durability.
I especially enjoy the styling of 1970s and 1980s Ford trucks—the bold designs, rugged presence, and classic charm are timeless. Sharing my passion for Ford trucks, vans, and SUVs with other enthusiasts online brings me a great deal of joy, and it’s why I created Blue Oval Trucks.
This website is dedicated to helping Ford truck enthusiasts explore, learn about, and celebrate these incredible vehicles. While I share my expertise and experiences here, Blue Oval Trucks is an independent enthusiast site and is not affiliated with Ford Motor Company.
