Details

This custom over-the-top 1972 Ford Bronco won the Bill Stroppe Best in Show award at Fabulous Fords Forever and was chosen among the Top 10 trucks at the SEMA Show Battle of the Builders. Built by Matt Hunt Muscle Cars Inc., whose team completely revamped the Bronco from top to bottom, it is powered by a stroked 347ci Holley Terminator X fuel-injected V8 engine producing 480hp paired to an automatic transmission with overdrive and an Atlas II transfer case. The gear-driven transfer case propels a True Hi9 third member out back and a Ford 9-inch axle up front. Attached at each end of the custom Camburg axle housings are Wilwood disc brakes, which get extra clamping force thanks to a hydro-boost conversion. The custom King suspension has front coils with dual King 2.0 remote reservoir shocks, radius arms, custom rear Deaver leaf springs with King 2.5 remote reservoir shocks with compression adjusters and 2.0 bump stops. Working with the custom radius arms and front coil springs are dual 2.0 King remote reservoir shocks with 4-inch-travel bump stops and a 2.0 steering stabilizer, and it has front and rear custom Currie Rock Jock torsion sway bars. Out back, the custom Deaver leaf springs are dampened via the King 2.5 series remote-reservoir shocks, which were fit with compression adjusters to further dial in the ride. All of this works to cycle the Raceline 17x10 Monster beadlocks with 35x12.50R17 35-inch Nitto Trail Grappler tires. There is a Rockford Fosgate PMX-5 head unit in the dash and Rockford Fosgate PMX-3 controller in the center console for back seat control. The speakers up front are Rockford Fosgate as well. In addition, there is a Rockford Fosgate Punch subwoofer under the passenger seat and Rockford Fosgate PM2652W-MB Punch 6.5 mini-tower speaker with custom-made rollbar mounts in the rear. All are powered by a Rockford Fosgate Punch P1000X5 1000-watt 5-channel amplifier. There are custom-fabricated front and rear bumpers and a front-fitted WARN winch and Rigid light bar. In the rear, there is a 35-inch tire holder with a cam lock. Additional features include AMP Research power steps, with Rigid Industries components such as an LED light bar across the top windshield, rear roll bar lights and dome lights mounted on the roll bar. In addition, there is a billet tilt steering column with a billet steering wheel and Simpson seats front and rear.
