1972 Ford Bronco Specs & Photos
The 1972 Ford Bronco was the final model year for the U14 half-cab pickup, sold alongside the U15 wagon with the Dana 44 front axle, Ford 9-inch rear, and front drums, carrying the 170-cubic-inch six and 302-cubic-inch V8. Published power ratings shifted from SAE gross to SAE net this year, so figures read lower than before.
The 1972 Ford Bronco is part of the First-Generation Bronco (Early Bronco) generation (1966-1977). See the full Ford Bronco 1966-1977 registry →
