Blue Collar Bronco - January Edition T-Shirt

🏁 Old Iron. Built to Work. 🏁

Meet the Blue Collar Bronco — a truck that isn’t just built, it’s lived. This 1979 Ford Bronco represents decades of dedication, hard work, and a refusal to let go of something that mattered.

Bought in 1989 as his first vehicle, owner Eric Wulff drove this Bronco through high school, pouring every spare dollar into it — lift kits, bigger tires, fresh paint — building it piece by piece the way only a first truck gets built. In 1994, the engine was pulled, and life understandably took over: full-time jobs, moves, buying houses. Through it all, one thing never changed — the Bronco was never sold.

Years later, that commitment paid off when the truck was submitted and selected to appear on the MotorTrend TV Channel’s Garage Squad. Over the course of an intense week, the Bronco was brought back to life, rebuilt with purpose, and transformed into the machine it was always meant to be.

🔥 Why This Shirt Matters

More Than a Build — A Story
This shirt represents decades of loyalty to a truck that was never abandoned, even when life got busy.

Crafted Like the Bronco It Honors
Premium cotton blend with a broken-in feel — comfortable for everyday wear and durable enough for the shop, the trail, or a long weekend wrenching.

Born From Real Restorations
No shortcuts. Proven parts. Built by someone who lived the journey from teenage first truck to nationally featured build.

Driven, Not Parked
Like the Blue Collar Bronco itself, this isn’t about show-only rigs. It’s about trucks that earn respect through use.

🛻 Wear the Legacy

For the builder who never quit.
For the guy who kept the truck when selling would’ve been easier.
For anyone who knows a real build is measured in years, not weekends.

Blue Collar Bronco — built with grit, backed by history.

Drive it hard. Build it right. Wear it proud.
