Vintage Fierro<\/a> built this 1978 Ford Bronco at their company in Genoa, Colorado. In the engine bay they installed a 5.0 L Coyote V8 from a 2017 Ford F-150 on Fat Fender Garage mounts<\/a>. Behind that is a 6R80 six-speed automatic transmission and dual-range transfer case. Aftermarket driveshafts send power to a front axle (probably Dana 44) and a Ford 9-inch rear axle with a limited-slip differential. The Bronco rides on Skyjacker shocks with electric power steering and 15-inch wheels with BFGoodrich All-Terrain T\/A K02 33\u00d712.5-inch tires. The exterior features 6-color stripes over black paint with a removable fiberglass hardtop. The interior has black vinyl seats with plaid cloth inserts. Upgrades include Dakota Digital gauges, Vintage Air AC system, and Restomod stereo. You can find the Bronco for sale on Bring a Trailer<\/a>. <\/p>\n
