Anything is possible. But that would not be stock. The diesel is and was only available in the 3/4 ton and up (F250-F350 ...) trucks and not in the half ton truck (F-150) The Bronco is based on the F-150. Of course, one can do a diesel engine swap from an F250 into a Bronco, should be not too bad, actually.

Ford not offering a diesel in their half ton line is a big disappointment. I read that they had developed a small diesel and stopped it half way though. That was before gas doubled in price, of course ...

The international was available with a diesel. So, if you go back to the styling and technology of 70s Broncos, the International becomes more interesting again, as you could get it with a diesel for some real 'truckin'.
