A new replica body assembly gives you a fixed cost, a known timeline and straight steel from day one. No hunting classifieds for a donor Generation), no cutting up a survivor for one usable panel, no discovering that the ‘solid’ second-hand panel you shipped across the country rusted the same way yours did.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eAbout the Ford Bronco (First Generation)\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEarly 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eInstallation\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDifficulty:\u003c\/strong\u003e Professional \/ experienced builder  |  \u003cstrong\u003eTypical time:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1–3 days for removal and replacement, excluding refit  |  \u003cstrong\u003eWelding required:\u003c\/strong\u003e no.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA complete assembly replaces unbolt-and-lift structure: disconnect wiring, fuel and brake lines routed through the body, unbolt the mounts, and lift the old structure off the chassis. Inspect and refurbish chassis outriggers and mounts before the new assembly goes on — new body on rusty mounts is wasted money. Shim to factory alignment before final torque, then transfer doors and hardware and set all gaps.

The Ford Bronco (First Generation) commonly rusts in floor pans, rockers, rear quarters and wheel housings, fender aprons, door bottoms and tailgates, and this replica pressing replaces corroded original metal with new steel — no donor vehicle required.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDo you ship this internationally?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes.
