In addition to the options that Ford installed at the factory, the Bronco also offered a number of accessories that were Ford sanctioned. They had Ford part numbers but were manufactured by aftermarket suppliers and installed at the local dealer. These options included a convertible top with vinyl doors and plastic windows, a dash or windshield-mounted compass, dash-mounted handrail, Warn locking hubs, PTO, CB radio, snowplow, winch, tachometer, air bags for the coil springs, and a trailer hitch. Ford also listed such rarely seen options as a backhoe, boom, firefighting equipment, grass mower, posthole digger, rotary broom, spray equipment, trencher, and wrecker attachments.

The introduction of the Bronco in 1966 brought a plethora of interesting camper designs for the new truck that were produced in very small numbers. Taking some of these designs out on the open road, or the trail, was often a test of even the hardiest driver’s nerves.
