Insane 1967 Ford Bronco Rod on Auto Trader

First generation Ford Broncos are neat trucks. We’ve seen them in all forms from sloggin’ mud boggers, to wheel-pulling drag cars. Hell, Doug Nash ran a flip-up Bronco-bodied funny car in the late 1960s. This is the first one we have seen done in a modern style, slammed to the ground, packing a huffed big block Chevy motor, and a big dollar looking custom interior. Part of us digs it, and part of us doesn’t.

This Bronco was featured in Truckin’ Magazine wearing a different wheel and tire package that gave it a much more Pro Street look. In its current form with the massive rear wheels and short sidewall tires it seems to be angling for the Pro/Faux Touring vibe.

The chassis is an Art Morrison piece, the front suspension is a Mustang II set-up, and the rear is a Ford 9-inch hung with a four-link setup and a pair of Aledine coil over shocks. The paint is 100% awesome looking miles deep and flawless.

That big motor coming through the hood? It’s a 502ci big block Chevy sporting a set of worked Brodix heads, a cam from Comp, and a whole bunch of supercharger on top. The owner claims that the engine makes close to 1,000 hp. The transmission is a built to the hilt Turbo 400.

Crazily the truck has only been driven 250 miles according to the ad. Maybe it scared the guy bad enough that he only idles it around now, who knows. With that little wheelbase, a lightweight package, and the (reportedly) 1,000hp engine, this freaking thing must be devilish on the road.

The interior is certainly out to make a statement. It appears that the steering wheel is wrapped in Alligator, with the rest of the cab is done in leather. From the looks of the driver’s seat, the blower case is just inches from the windshield!

Bad ass or bad taste? What’s your take?
