not looking for tents, but i didnt even know they offered a soft top as an option. you got any pics of it?

and yes eagle, i looked everywhere. but 5-speed broncos arent everywhere.


i just got my shorty headers (which i almost dislike) and my new magnaflow cats in today so they should be on soon. my underdrive pulleys came in yesterday and will be on tomorrow and i put my K&N airfilter on today. now im just waiting for my dashmat and cutouts to come in and then i should be done til i get a chance to replace my smog pump and ring and pinion in the rear. so in about a month, ill be back to modding

It not surprising you didn't know about the soft top Ford had for the Bronco.
hardly any where sold, and most all of those where in climates where it did not get cold.
There are numerous places that sell such tops The big trouble you might have is finding the
frame work for the OEM top. It is just tubular steel so it would not be too hard to fabricate them
yourself But as you see it looks like it belongs there. I was looking over the websites and this one looks
like it might be of help. http://www.jamesduff.com/

I did not but according to his website he says if you don't see it call. I'll bet if he doesn't have anything for you he will know who does. It may be a long shot but call Ford and see if they still have the frame work for the the OEM soft top, The top shouldn't be a problem this is just a matter of calling around and see who can make you one.

Check this out: http://www.fullsizebronco.com/forum/index.php this might be a good place to post you questions about the OEM soft top.

There where a couple of soft top Bronco's running around Cheyenne for awhile I asked one of the owners about the soft top and he told me it was cheaper to purchase the Bronco this way, with the soft top the back seats where optional. This person told me he was going to get a hard top when he could afford it. I suspect this is what happened to most of such trucks.

I think I have found it.... http://www.4wheelcustoms.com/Products.asp?Cat=634
I am unable to find one of these tops on a Bronco but here is a photo of a
Kayline Fast Trac Top on a Blazer. As you can see the back and sides have
been unzipped and removed.
