Where to begin?
I've had Broncos in my life since the early 80's. I raced, trailed, and daily drove one for many years. Owned as many as 4 at once plus a company car that was at the time a '92 Bronco. '67, '73, '74, '77, '86, and company cars included a '92, '94, and '96.
The '86 was a lifted Eddie Bauer that was my daily driver and probably the one vehicle I've ever owned that I wish I still had. Sold it and bought an F-250 after a scary towing incident...
Fast Forward:
I still have the '67 which was my last race truck, and the '73 which is a solid LUBR. (I learned that acronym here!) I had to keep those 2, too much blood and sweat in the race truck (built up from a roller and a parts truck), and I knew the '73 would hold some value as a "retirement project". They've been parked in my barn since 1991 as other pursuits took life over.
Now it's time.

'73 goes first. Front brakes rusted to drums, can't move the brake pedal. Ok. Total stock rebuild, m/c, lines, etc. - then get 'er running and go from there. Drums stripped down and turned, picking up a load from JBG on Tuesday.
Gonna' take some time, Uncle Arthur(itis) only lets me work a few hours at a time, but dammit, I've started it now!!

Nice broncos. You probably already have em but air tools(or now battery operated) make a world of difference how the body feels after some wrenching. Not to mention time saved. When I move I'm hoping to find a place with a garage/shop large enough for a lift so I can do more work on the broncos.
