1979 Ford Bronco Reviews, Pricing & Specs

The 79 Bronco is a well built truck but does have a few weaknesses. The 205 transfer case and dana 44 and ford 9 axles are built really well. The weakness is the c6 transmission and possibly the 351m/400 engine. The engines are ok but I swapped mine for a 460 out of a truck. The c6 has only 3 speeds and could really use a fourth. Other than that, the truck is great. It looks good with top on or off, you can fit all your friends in it, take it anywhere. A great plus is that if anything breaks on it its easy to fix. Wish ford still made a bronco, Id buy one.

it is just a way badass ride.it has carried me,my family and my friends through thick and thin.she i really tough.from the highway to the hills to the deep mud. i couldn't ask for a better ride.she may be a little beat up but she still turns heads.

big powerfull engine, solid trans/ transfer case. very fun to drive. solid axles. very big and heavy. big block gets about 9mpg. nothing gets in its way. rock solid 460. has a millin miles left to drive. hight of ford engineering

This was sooo much fun to drive.....i loved it! We would drive it on the street, 4x4'in, pullin horse trailers, or snowmobile trailers or motorcycle trailers or boat trailers. It was a real work horse. The only thing that went wrong is that it kept eating rear ends....and it wasn't it's fault. It was HEAVY haulin almost all the time.

This, my first Bronco, was a great truck to have. The only real down fall was the fuel economy. I had several great times working on this truck with friends, many memorable nights. We customized a glove box bracket to hold the cd player. I sold this truck to my older brother to get money to buy second bronco. He enjoyed the truck as well.

This is a very nice truck. Im giving it the same rating as the F-150. This one hasnt been as reliable as the other one but is definately right up there. It has been beaten on by the previous owner. Very poorly taken care of. Now that its in my hands Its being babied. Lots of new parts and sheet metal. A little love goes a long way. Very cool truck with the top off!

Not good on Gas, but, not why I built it. It does play nice in the mud. Looking to fuel inject it later and build some bumpers, might even paint it someday. Broncos have a great turning radius and can compete with the Jeeps.

I have loved broncos since I was a kid. They are a capable suv and they are very modify able.

its big bad and kicks some mean ass its ugly but it runs, sometimes. its what driving should be there is no computers no check engine lights its based of an f100 so parts are easy to find. bottom line get one!!!!

This is my project truck. as you can tell its not even close to being finished. Its got a 351M engine, 33 Inch Thornbirds, and an automatic transmission. I also have a western snow plow for it. i have to finish running my breaklines, then it will be road worthy. Someday, I'd like to put in a 390 and a lift.
