reamer Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 Can we really argue with them though? There's quite a few differences between 1980-1981 trucks and 1982-1986. That's part of the reason why I like the early bullnose trucks, they share some things in common with the dentside trucks. But there is a Huge difference from the 1978 - 1979 and the new Gen 1980 model, You can't bunch the 3 years together,,,78-79 are their own monster.

No, but there are way more similarities than one would think. I realized that with my 1980. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AFAIK, it's just the cargo floor, rear seat, tailgate (except the glass), rear bumper, and rear axle/suspension. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danny G Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 Yep! This 1980 advert for the Bronco says it has TTB's. The rust protection part is almost sad because its all the areas they have issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
