A new replica glass 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 Easy to Moderate  |  \u003cstrong\u003eTypical time:\u003c\/strong\u003e 30–90 minutes per pane  |  \u003cstrong\u003eWelding required:\u003c\/strong\u003e no.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFit glass with new seals every time — hardened original rubber is why the old glass leaked.
