Newby here, but I'm looking to buy a classic Bronco. I see many advertised as uncut and I assume this refers to the rear wheel cutouts, but what I can't figure out is this feature (uncut) is dependent on a particular year or model. It can't be that all the full cutout wheelwells I see are custom done?

All the full cutout ones are custom.

If ten minutes with a sawzall is "custom "

No idea why ford did em like that

Oddly , when I cut mine out the part I removed was EXACTLY the same size and shape as the removable fender skirts on my 66 Thunderbird

Here's a t bird skirt for reference

I know who owns that bronco. I work with his son in law. If you look close you'll see that it has four wheel steering. He has a lot of money tied up in that rig.

Hey, that's Wild Bill and his crawler!
I've seen that thing crab walking sideways down the streets of Bakersfield.:cool:
There should be no problem with parallel parking it.

Thanks for the responses, now I know. IMHO the cutout ones look much better but it would be tough to do on a pristine original.

Saw this one last weekend at a rest stop on I 90 near Mitchell, SD. looked like a fresh build. It was spotless underneath.
