This Custom Ford Bronco Is Part Classic, Part Super Duty And All Awesome

If you miss the days of full-size Broncos, you’re in luck as Mecum will be auctioning a unique creation in January.

Part 1978 Bronco and part F-250 Super Duty, the one-off model was created by Vintage Iron & Restoration and is bound to turn heads.

While the listing is sadly light on specifics, we dug through the company’s Facebook page and they revealed the grille, bumpers, lighting units, and wheels were sourced from a modern F-250. The hood and fenders come from the Bronco, while a “ton of hand fabrication” was required to successfully blend the two vehicles into one cohesive design.

Despite the old meets new exterior styling, the cabin is straight-up F-250. However, it’s not too shabby as it features King Ranch leather seats with power adjustment up front.

Power comes from a Gen 3 5.0-liter V8 crate engine, which was requested by the original owner. It presumably develops 460 hp (343 kW / 466 PS) and 420 lb-ft (569 Nm) of torque, when running on premium fuel.

Regardless of the numbers, the engine is connected to a six-speed automatic transmission and the SUV features a transfer case that was sourced from an F-150 Raptor. Additional details are limited, but the listing says the model has front and rear lockers, four-wheel disc brakes, and a custom suspension.

There’s no auction estimate, but the build took two years to complete and was obviously rather labor-intensive.
