Acme Bronco Bodies

[mo-bronco]

While browsing through my truck and car magazines from the '80's I came across an ad in the back of Off-Road magazine from June of '86. It was for a place called Acme Bronco Bodies. They offered body parts or a complete body. I wonder if anyone else has heard of them? I have the pic scanned and I can email it to someone to post if you want.

white gel-coat finish tells me that they were fiberglass.......aside from that, no knowledge of them whatsoever.

I think the coyote bought one to catch the roadrunner.;D ;D ;D ;D

Could it be that Mallotte (sp) was Acme or the other way around ?

Located in Compton, CA..... They were probably robbed and looted too many times to stay in business %)

Yeah, Acme is a longtime Jeep parts supplier. Back in the day, their "Jeep Spotters/I.D. Guide" poster was a popular fixture in off road shops. I have one of their catalogs from about the mid '80s laying around here somewhere. I guess I should look and see if they have Bronco bodies in it.

Why don't one of you guys just call China, they will make you one. They make everything ;D and sell it pretty cheap too !

We still use the Jeep spotters/ ID poster at my shop... you'ld be amazed at
how many Jeep owners don't know what year they own, or how it has been modded in its life!

Just don't let them paint it.

Yeah, all that lead will make it too heavy!

They can paint it, but if they do, dont put your Bronco in your mouth. ;D

I'd put Jeep parts on my Bronco before I put a body made in China on it.
