Years of Classic Bronco on F100 Chassis

Had a 66....1st year and did not share a frame with the F-100.

Everything you ever want to know about Ford Bronco.

The big Bronco (like OJ's) was from 1978 - 1996. Based on the F-series frame.

The Bronco II (the new small one) 1983 1990. Based on the ford Ranger frame.

So you win, small Bronco first.

I think you are right,the original Bronco as I remember it was much smaller than the OJMOBILE. Not sure about the F100 Chassis but that could be correct too.
