This 1979 Ford Bronco XLT (chassis U15HLFA4883) is said to have been used previously as a race support vehicle for the Best In the Desert Association, however the ad doesn’t offer any further information or documentation relative to the claim. Described as a rust-free lifetime Nevada truck, it’s been heavily modified and looks fantastic. Find it here on eBay in Las Vegas, Nevada with reserve not met.

With plenty of scratches, chips and a number of dents, the truck is a bit scruffy in appearance but remains perfectly acceptable for an off-roader. Candy Apple Red and White are the truck’s original colors and paint is claimed to be original. Combined with a six inch lift, wagon wheels wrapped in 35-inch tires serve for purpose and aesthetic, as does the custom tube brush guard with four KC lights mounted across the top.

Inside, the ad mentions several additions including a custom-made aluminum center console, modern head unit and back-up camera. Though in decent shape, seats don’t appear to be later model Ford tuck items. We’d throw some rubber floor mats in to curb any further wear.

Said to have been rebuilt at some point, the truck’s 351 sounds very well equipped with an aftermarket aluminum radiator and MSD ignition. What the C6 auto lacks in third pedal fun, it makes up for with a shift kit, high-capacity aluminum pan and a custom trans cooler with an electric fan. Additional drivetrain upgrades include a 140 amp alternator and two batteries.

It’s just as well outfitted underneath, with Fox shocks out back and four Rancho units employed in front. The nine inch rear and Dana 44 front axle sound stock and lockouts are Warn units.

According to the listing, the truck runs and drives nicely and the electrically operated rear window is in proper working order. Additionally, all rubber seals are new and several extra off-road accessories are included in the sale. We’d love to bash this one through the desert, and hope that it sees proper use in the near future.
