Ya it’s lowered, but you can’t deny that it’s cool. Even though it’s been lowered on a one off independent adjustable air ride suspension with tubular upper and lower control arms, I dig that it still maintains that late 60’s – early 70’s vibe in the paint job (Audi RB Ipanema Brown) and steel wheels. I also dig that the rear tailgate was replaced with a sectioned F100 tailgate with Ford stamping. If you didn’t know any better, you’d swear the Bronco rolled off the assembly line with that tailgate.
Aside from the two-piece Billet Specialties 18/20 inch wheels, the underside of the Bronco also features a rack and pinion steering, an 8.8-inch rear axle, and 4-wheel disc brakes.
Keeping with the suspension and axle upgrades, the drivetrain has been swapped to a fuel injected 2.5L backed by a 5-speed manual transmission.
The inside features a shaved dash, custom gauges, Ididit tilt column, billet steering wheel, a Retro sound Bluetooth radio, and custom sheet metal fabricated firewall, floor and wheel tubs.
The hard work and dedication to detail have led to multiple magazine features and award winners.

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.
