1978 Bronco Merch
Description: For the 1978 model year, the second-generation Bronco was introduced; to better compete with the K5, Ramcharger, and Cherokee, the Bronco arrived as a full-size SUV. In place of a model-specific chassis, the Bronco was adapted directly from the F-Series, becoming a shortened version of the F-100 4x4. Originally intended for a 1974 launch, the second-generation Bronco (named "Project Shorthorn" during its development) was postponed to 1978 in response to fuel economy concerns related to the 1973 fuel crisis; the second-generation Bronco was actually released for sale after development was nearly finalized on its 1980 successor. the second-generation Bronco proved successful, overtaking the Blazer and Ramcharger in sales for the first time.

Description: K-Bar-S Bronco Specialties was founded by Hal Sealand and John Karp in the late '70s in Las Vegas, Nevada. The name of the shop is from their last names – K for Karp, S for Sealand. As the name implies, K-Bar-S specialized in custom Bronco parts. They also had a complete shop where they built some pretty amazing rigs, many of which went on to tough truck and Baja race events. Word is that the shop closed in 2001, but most of their rigs and exclusive aftermarket parts are still out there.
