Cool find. Find you a springtime yellow gas cap and a 5 pin Bronco emblem and you'll be set. What's it look like under the hood?

Our u13 is similar condition, but was resprayed a very long time ago. Had the same question. I chose to leave it, but fixed various not correct items. Only original once, and original paint is a huge plus. If your truck was mine, I would for sure leave it.

Leave it alone and enjoy. I am probably an outsider, but I prefer stock paint even with scratches as you can actually use it. I'd imagine that the funds required to get it stock and restored may become difficult to recoup. Or at a minimum, require a very special buyer.

I would no line the floors. Would just buy the repop black front mat n through it in the front.

Does the bed look as well as the front? I didn't notice a picture of it anywhere.

Noooooooo, liner! If you have to do something, spring time yellow paint. I have a couple small holes in the floor, it's fine. I did as another suggested, the Dennis carpenter rubber mat.


How about the floors? Raptor in Springtime Yellow color or paint?

Leave it! That is what I'm doing with my 70, I have more touch up to do that you. But no bad rust also...
