Half Cab Top

A half cab on the early Ford Bronco is a rear top configuration that covers only the area directly behind the front seats, leaving the cargo bed open to the sky. It was an original factory option on the 1966–1972 Bronco and remains one of the most iconic looks for the model. Tom's Offroad carries both original-style reproduction steel half cabs and fiberglass half cabs

It depends on how you use the truck. A half cab gives you an open-air trail feel and easy cargo access, making it popular for off-road and show builds. A full top provides weather protection and security for the cargo area. Many owners keep both tops and swap them seasonally or by use case.

Early Bronco half cabs are available in fiberglass and steel. Fiberglass is the most common aftermarket material due to its light weight and ease of paint matching. Steel half cabs are heavier but offer a more factory-correct look for restoration builds. Tom's Offroad carries fiberglass half cabs with the mounting hardware needed for a complete installation, as well as factory-style steel replacements.

A well-fitted, cleanly painted half cab can enhance the resale value of an early Bronco by contributing to the classic aesthetic that collectors and enthusiasts seek. However, a cracked, faded, or poorly fitted half cab can detract from presentation. Investing in a quality replacement from Tom's Offroad and painting it to match the body is the best approach for value retention.

A half cab provides no weather protection for the open cargo area (bed) behind the front seats.
