With all the excitement over the new 2021 Ford Bronco and the growing interests in overlanding and adventure travel, I occasionally find myself looking for examples of early Ford Bronco’s being used for adventures.
This 1967 Ford Bronco is owned by Bob DuBois and is fitted with a Four-Wheel Campers pop-up camper. This camper was added in 1979 and is the Bronco’s only major upgrade.
The only suspension modifications have been a set of cheap shocks and a set of 235/75R15 Cooper Discoverer A/T3 tires mounted on some white wagon wheels.
The Bronco is still powered by the original 302 cid. One of the few drawbacks of the Bronco’s setup is the fuel range, which Bob remedies with his dual 5-gallon fuel cans mounted to a swing out carrier on the rear of the Bronco. The carrier also carries a set of recovery boards in the event Bob should get stuck. A pair of 6-inch KC Daylighters are mounted on the front bumper to light up the night.
The Bronco sees regular trips into the Bighorn and Beartooth mountains in Wyoming as well as the annual Relic Run. The Four-Wheeler Camper makes the perfect basecamp for Bob, his wife, and their dog on those trips.

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.
