1995 Ford Bronco “Nouveau Billy”
About the 1992–1996 Ford Bronco
from the generation archive
The fifth-generation Ford Bronco ran from 1992 through 1996 and was the last full-size Bronco before the nameplate went dormant until 2021. For 1992 Ford restyled the truck with the rounded sheet metal it shared with the redesigned 1992-1996 F-series, the body enthusiasts later nicknamed OBS for Old Body Style after the 1997 trucks arrived. It kept the removable fiberglass rear roof, a single rear liftgate with roll-down glass, and a 104.7-inch wheelbase carried over from the prior generation. Power came from Ford small-block V8s, the 5.0L (302) and the 5.8L (351 Windsor), both fuel injected; the 4.9L inline-six that earlier full-size Broncos offered was not part of this run. Trim levels were XL, XLT, and the top Eddie Bauer. A standard center high-mounted stop lamp arrived with the 1992 redesign, rear-wheel anti-lock brakes carried over from the previous generation and were standard throughout, and a driver-side airbag was added for 1994. Ford ended the Bronco after 1996 and replaced it with the four-door Expedition for 1997.
The story
XL bought used it was a State of FLA work truck for Dept of Natural Resources. Heavy duty suspension, Air and little other options. Added pow windows remote power locks remote rear glass, strong stereo, 2" body lift, 33 12.50's 10" steel wheels, tint, headers and flomaster mufflers and dual exhaust. Bought this Billy becuase top comes off previous was 79 with top removed and canvas 1/4 top, maybe it was an 1/8 top. Custom made that could be unzipped to open back in less than 30 seconds it worked oustanding well.
Built a prototype console from plywood that will service as pattern for diamond plate one that will secure stereo, valubles including laptop hooked up to GPS and mapping software. Laptop also plays DVD's and can access internet using Nextel modem. When top comes off will be adding custom rack to haul kayaks that are primarly used too surf. Will be adding winch, additional batteries, rhino bedlining, brush guards front and rear, custom lockable bed cover, sunroof, lights, upgraded alternator, custom interior, etc. — Mike Sutton
