Hard Top For Ford Bronco

Hard tops are a defining feature of the first-generation Bronco, both in style and functionality. Whether you're restoring a rusted shell or building a backcountry-ready rig, the right top gives your Bronco a finished look and trail-ready durability. But not every Bronco needs the same setup. Some builds call for full steel tops, while others are better suited for soft tops or panel replacements. Understanding your options is crucial to creating a build that fits your lifestyle, and your Bronco’s legacy.

Why Choose A Hard Top For Your Ford Bronco

A hard top gives your classic Ford Bronco the protection and durability it was built for. Whether you're restoring a first-generation Bronco or upgrading your current setup, a hard top adds structure, security, and style to your ride. It keeps the elements out, adds value to your build, and completes the look of your Bronco's iconic body lines.

At TOMS OFFROAD, we know these vehicles inside and out. Our hard tops are designed specifically for 1966-77 Broncos, staying true to the original form while offering the quality today’s enthusiasts expect. For those who drive through every season or just want a more enclosed setup for their adventure builds, a hard top is the go-to solution.

Core Features To Look For In A Ford Bronco Hard Top

Choosing the right hard top for your classic Bronco means knowing what matters most ,  fit, function, and finish. Here are the top features every enthusiast should consider before buying:

Fitment

A hard top that’s made specifically for 1966-77 Ford Broncos will align with factory mounting points and body lines without modification. TOMS OFFROAD hard tops are engineered for a direct fit, making installation smoother for both first-time DIYers and experienced builders.

Material

Stamped steel is the preferred material for restorers who want to preserve the Bronco’s classic look and long-term strength. Fiberglass versions may offer easier handling, but they often lack the authenticity and durability of a properly made steel top.

Finish

Most premium hard tops come in a primer or bare steel finish, giving you the flexibility to paint-match with your Bronco’s body color. This is especially useful in restoration projects where visual consistency matters just as much as performance.

Structural Integrity

A well-built hard top should have reinforced seams and solid bracing to prevent rattling, sagging, or flexing over time. This is especially important for off-road builds or Broncos exposed to rough terrain and long-distance drives.

Mounting Points

Accurate mounting points make the difference between a quick afternoon project and a frustrating, uneven fit. TOMS OFFROAD designs their hard tops with factory-style mounting tabs that line up exactly where they should.

Liftgate Compatibility

Not all hard tops come with a liftgate included, so it’s important to know if yours requires a separate purchase or retrofit. The full hard top from TOMS OFFROAD includes a liftgate, saving you time and extra cost.

Window Provisions

A quality hard top should accommodate OEM-style windows with proper channels for seals and glass installation. This ensures a weather-tight fit and keeps your interior protected during all seasons.

Parts Availability

Even the best hard tops may need individual parts replaced over time. TOMS OFFROAD offers key replacements like the passenger side hard top panel, so you can repair damage without replacing the entire top.

TOMS OFFROAD Ford Bronco Hard Top Options

Our Full Hard Top for 1966–77 Ford Broncos is built with a focus on heritage and fitment. It’s a premium reproduction of the factory-style top, made for enthusiasts who want an authentic restoration or a reliable upgrade. With welded seams, reinforced structure, and accurate contours, this hard top brings back the classic look without cutting corners.

Each hard top includes the main shell and liftgate, so it’s ready to assemble and bolt on. It's perfect for DIY builders working on their first restoration, or seasoned Bronco owners upgrading their trail rig for year-round use.

If you're refreshing or repairing an existing top, we also offer replacement parts like the Passenger Side Hard Top Panel. This panel fits just like the original and is ideal for builds that don’t need a full new top.

Passenger Side Panels For Classic Bronco Builds

Restoring a vintage Bronco sometimes means replacing individual pieces instead of the whole top. That’s where our Passenger Side Hard Top Panel comes in. Designed for 1966-77 Broncos, this panel is a direct-fit replacement made to match factory specs.

It’s built from quality steel with the correct body lines, so it fits right in with your existing setup. Whether your original panel has rust damage or dents beyond repair, this piece helps you maintain the classic Bronco silhouette without starting from scratch.

TOMS OFFROAD offers premium sheet metal for DIY enthusiasts and professional shops alike. It’s all about keeping that original look while using new parts that are made to last.

Alternative Top Options: Soft Tops And Rollbar Skins

Not every Bronco build calls for a full hard top. For those who prefer an open-air feel or want a seasonal setup, TOMS OFFROAD offers quality alternatives like our Black Soft Top and Rollbar Top Skin.

The Black Soft Top is a versatile option for 1966-77 Broncos. It gives you coverage when you need it, and flexibility when you don’t. It’s a great fit for summer adventures, trail rides, or daily cruising.

If you're running interior bars and want lightweight coverage, the Rollbar Top Skin is a clean, minimal solution. It’s made from durable black vinyl and stretches tight over your setup, offering a finished look with protection from sun and light rain.

These options are perfect for Bronco owners who love variety and want to change things up without sacrificing quality or style.

Frequently Asked Questions

Most hard tops for vintage Broncos are made from steel or fiberglass. Steel is ideal for classic restorations due to its factory-style appearance and durability, while fiberglass is lighter and easier to handle but may lack the original look.

It’s possible to install a hard top as a DIY project, especially if you're comfortable working on your Bronco. However, due to the weight and size of the top, having a second person to help lift and align it is highly recommended.

A properly installed hard top offers excellent protection from rain, snow, and wind. But its effectiveness depends on the condition of seals, alignment of the panels, and how well it's secured to the body.

Regularly inspect for rust, especially around seams and mounting points if it’s a steel top. Clean the seals, tighten mounting bolts, and repaint or recoat as needed to extend the top’s life.

Yes, but only slightly. A hard top adds weight and changes airflow slightly, but on classic Broncos, these effects are minimal since gas mileage isn’t a primary concern for most enthusiasts.

Most hard tops come in a primer or neutral finish so you can paint them to match your Bronco. Custom color-matching is common in restorations and adds a more finished look.
