Classic Bronco problems! | Ricky Boada

Instagram: @RickyBoada (& all other social media)

I know what you're thinking? A beautiful Bronco, I'D DAILY THAT! But its not that simple. I've tried to daily so many old cars because....well, why not? Except theres many reasons not to, and you'll see a few in the video.

1. Smell like fuel
2. Overheating in traffic
3. random leaks
4. Attention attention attention - cant ever roll low key.
5. Cab never really cools

I drove one for years and I NEVER smelled like fuel, not even It was the best vehicle I ever owned.

[johnathanmarshalek]

Check your gas expansion tank in the back of the driver side door its probably cracked thats why it smells

Your blessed even with the “problems” these things are solid and dream someday to get one...and get out of a modern car that I hate

[schristiansen]

I daily drive one for a couple of years. I put an injected 5.0 in it and no more gas smell or fumes, lol. And the power and gas mileage improvement is awesome.

I daily my 74 Bronco. 1988 Mustang 5.0, AC, Ford AOD transmission and 4 layers of sound proofing (took me 3 months) Life is too short to drive a boring car!

That was just cars back then... and people daily drove them all the time. I daily drove my bronco all through college and made 300 mile round trips home. Might have to turn a wrench occasionally but it always got me there.

Had my first gen Bronco for 30 years with no fuel smell. Maybe you have a fuel line or exhaust leak?

[lurkingdeath]

I had a 1975. It was, BY FAR, the best car I ever owned. It never gave off fumes. I would NEVER consider removing the 4X4 anymore than I would buy the Mona Lisa and tamper with her smile. The tailgate can be EASILY fixed not to rattle. Man, I don't think you know what you have!

I have a 73 Bronco and a couple 70s motorcycles. I grew up in the 70s before emission controls. You have no Idea how bad it was being stuck on the highway just sitting there breathing all that love that smell now😊. Reminds me of my youth.❤

[mikeanderson]

All those complaints are correctable. Sounds like you bought a pretty ride, but not built right at all! My 71 is a dream to drive.

[almadelavara]

I modeled the exterior of my '74 after yours with a few exceptions. Now taking care of details like the fuel smell. Thanks for your videos!

[chuish]

great video! Just bought my 2nd ford bronco last week. The last one I had previously I sold several years ago and acquired my 1972 last week. Can't wait to get it restored

[dannyswortzel]

Something wrong, I had 3 and never smelt fuel

[meridithhertach]

OMG, I have a 1972 Bronco and always smell like gas too!! I'm glad it's not just me. Mine is still a 3 on the tree so I just use it for trips around town.

Only a 20 something worries about gas and mpg ! If you got a complaint about gas, complain to the DEMS they’re responsible for the higher prices! GREEEN 😂

i have a '71 Blazer and a '68 Bronco. and I do agree with a lot of what you say here. for example, the Blazer has leafs at all 4 corners and it's lifted so the ride is quite punishing. people do put catalytic conv. on these, haven't heard if it helps with the exhaust getting on you. the lack of headliner and all the tin in the cab will make it noisy in there. a carpet and some rear side panels may help. my '68 has a 4R70W auto tran, EFI, power steering, front disk brakes and it's really only good for 10-15 minutes to work and back as a daily. not even on the highway where the noise would be worse. good luck as you make changes to yours.

[oldretireddude]

Visually it is beautiful, very tastefully done. The 4x4 issue has to be corrected though.

[oneofthosepeople]

They sell a cable kit for the tailgate that gets rid of the noise. 👍

[drappennen]

Yeah. Nice problems to have man. Good channel.

[jonathanriolo]

Nice Bronco how many car collection do you own? and how old does it feel like driving a old school classics of hot rods?
