Front Floor Panel – for Ford Bronco 1966–77 (Steel)

This front floor panel is a precision replica panel made to suit the Ford Bronco (First Generation) (1966–1977), pressed in steel to the original-style profile. Instead of spending weekends cutting rust out of fifty-year-old steel — or hunting down a donor vehicle for one usable panel — you start with straight, new metal that is ready for preparation and paint.

Specifications

Fitment & Compatibility

This panel fits the Ford Bronco (First Generation), model years 1966–1977. Panels listed for 1966–1977 fit all first-generation Broncos unless noted; 1966–1968 trucks differ in some trim and grille details, and 'uncut' rear quarters restore the factory wheel-arch line on trucks whose arches were cut. Test-fit before paint, as with any reproduction panel.

As with any reproduction panel, trial-fit against the vehicle before final welding or paint. Minor adjustment at flanges and mounting points is a normal part of professional panel fitting, even with precision replica pressings.

Skip the rust bucket rescue

The oldroute to a straight Ford Bronco (First Generation) body was buying a second parts vehicle and hoping its panel was better than yours. That gamble costs storage, freight and usually disappointment — donor panels carry the same decades of corrosion in the same places. New replica steel ends the cycle: predictable cost, predictable fit, and every panel of your actual vehicle preserved.

About the Ford Bronco (First Generation)

The first-generation Ford Bronco, built from 1966 to 1977, has gone from farm truck to blue-chip collectible — early uncut Broncos now trade at prices that justify full body-off restorations. Ford built the early Bronco with a fully boxed frame and a simple welded steel body offered as a wagon, half-cab pickup and (briefly) roadster. Because so many Broncos had their rear quarters cut for larger tyres in the 1970s and 80s, straight original sheet metal is scarce, and complete reproduction bodies, cabs and individual stamped panels are now central to the Bronco restoration industry.

Early Broncos rust in the usual Ford truck places: floor pans front and rear, rocker panels, inner and outer rear quarters, wheel housings, fender aprons, door bottoms and the tailgate. The good news is that virtually every panel on a 1966–1977 Bronco is reproduced to a high standard, so builders can replace entire corroded assemblies — or start from a complete new body — rather than repairing pitted original steel.

Installation

Difficulty: Easy to Moderate  |  Typical time: 1–3 hours typical  |  Welding required: no.

Most specialty panels install with screws or light welding in protected areas, so fit and finish matter more than structure. Trial-fit, transfer captive nuts or clips from the original where used, and prime and paint before final assembly — these panels are visible up close.

Tools: basic hand tools, trim tools; welder only where the original was welded.
Common mistakes to avoid: painting after assembly instead of before, and losing the original fasteners before checking the new panel's holes.

Quality & Manufacturing

BodyBros replica panels are pressed on dedicated tooling developed from measured original panels, in automotive-grade material matched to the application. Pressings are checked against reference bucks for profile, flange geometry and hole placement before packing. Steel panels are supplied with a protective primer coating ready for preparation and refinishing; alloy and plastic parts are supplied ready to prepare and paint. These are aftermarket replica restoration parts — manufactured by BodyBros, not by the original vehicle maker.
