1978 Ford Bronco Ranger XLT 4x4 models are a favorite with enthusiasts. 1978 marked the first year of the second-generation of the Ford Bronco, which was produced for 1978 and 1979 before the body style was changed for the third generation Bronco introduced for the 1980 model year. The Bronco was no longer built on a unique chassis, but rather shared its architecture with the F-Series line of pickup trucks. As such, it shared many of the same styling cues, with a removable hard roof covering the bed and an extra set of seats.
Two-year only body style
351 cubic inch V-8 engine
4-barrel carburetor
Automatic transmission
4-wheel drive
Mild lift kit installed
Radial M/T Mud Claw tires
Cyclone style aluminum rims
Power steering
Power brakes with front discs
Riding on a period-correct set of cyclone-style aluminum rims wrapped in 33X12.50 R15 Radial M/T Mud Claw tires gives this Ford an aggressive look without sacrificing drivability. The 351 cubic inch V-8 and automatic transmission operate smoothly, making it a pleasure to drive. A set of high-quality Sanderson exhaust headers exit through new dual Flow FX Flowmaster mufflers making the engine sound great as well.
The interior is in excellent condition with new seat upholstery, console, dash pad, door panels and carpet kit installed. This truck also has a factory tilt steering column and a nice-sounding retro-style stereo. The body is straight and has a recent repaint that looks good for a Bronco that begs to be driven, on or off road, with character and style.
Interest in these two-year only body design Broncos is growing. Finding one still in stock configuration, such as the good-looking 1978 Ford Bronco Ranger XLT 4x4 is a rare find indeed. Call today!
