Body Construction + Assembly
RBB is the premier Ford Bronco tub manufacturer in the country. This is what we’re known for, but we do so much more for the vintage Ford Bronco owner seeking parts and body-related services.
Our steel vintage Ford Bronco body tubs are assembled from authentic reproduction components that we helped reverse-engineer with a major stamping plant. We adhere to strict specifications based upon the original designs. Our body tubs are assembled using water-cooled automobile factory resistance spot welders just like the ones GM and Ford Motors used to assemble the original early autos, including the 1966 to 1977 Ford Broncos.
Our shop has spent endless hours critiquing our builds to get the best ensured fit for your replacement vintage Ford Bronco tub. Our Bronco tubs are guaranteed to drop onto the existing frame with ease. Your restoration will be superior to the original Ford Bronco, because we use e-coated automotive grade steel and seamless construction.
Lesser assemblers use a standard wire-feed Metal Inert Gas or MIG welder along with a small PRO-Spot spot welder. Vintage Ford Bronco restorations depend upon a good fit. The RBB method of manufacture is so close to the real original manufacturing process that the fit is far superior when restorers use our parts.
Body Work + Panel Alignment
When the owners of Rust Belt Broncos met with the Ford Motor Company and a major tooling company in early 2012, we approached them with creating the perfect Bronco parts template so our company could launch the first full vintage Ford Bronco reproduction tub in the business.
Today, RBB uses all new steel panels in each body that are completely reverse engineered to match the factory OE panels. This took millions of dollars in investment and years of work with sheet metal stamping companies. We also spent two years refining our own fixture designs to make sure they replicated the factory specs for body parts and panels precisely. Finally, in 2014 we began providing the best fitting vintage Ford Bronco restoration parts available.
Demand for our products in the aftermarket is high. Our products are made to be perfect and historically accurate and they are both.
Expert Painting Service
The early Broncos were a masterpiece of Ford engineering and excellence, but they tended to rust because of the type of steel that was used. The steel coating technology was not advanced enough, and automotive paint did not protect the body as effectively as it does today.
Our employees have over 100 years in panel alignment and auto body experience. We strive to replicate the factory Bronco body to the smallest detail on all our builds. We offer body and paint work services featuring the LIMCO product line of BASF Paint. We also offer RM-BASF (custom) paint available for a price upgrade. You can now custom build your vintage Ford Bronco with your choice of paint color. RBB also offers Pro Form™ Buck Shot bed liner spray for undercoating and inside bed protection.
We use only the highest quality, professional grade paint. The RM-BASF refinishing paint products create the most authentic look and feel, and achieve the custom color of your auto restoration fantasy.
Bed Liners For Your New Tub
Our fits save customers thousands of dollars in body shop time. No one wants to take their new tub to a body shop after just receiving it. Every RBB Bronco tub is fully assembled for fitment. Our customers know when they get an RBB tub, all they need to do is drop it onto the frame and go!
Best Quality, Best Price, Rust Belt Broncos.
By replicating Classic Ford Bronco builds we offer a superior product as an extremely cost-effective price. All of our tubs are pre-fit prior to shipping to our customers. This ensures that the vintage Ford Bronco owner, our customer, does not encounter problems fitting the tub to fenders, etc. This sets RBB apart from many of the new tub manufacturers of today. Once a vintage Bronco owner has received their new RBB tub, it is imperative that the tub fits correctly. At RBB, we make sure of this.
Some of the lesser tub manufacturers cost their customers thousands of dollars extra at body shops, with tubs that just don’t fit!
