Kinda shocked that a casual remark about selling this truck has led to so many inquiries. If I can be made whole, I am actually considering selling her because now that I have discovered this forum, I think I can locate a more complete truck in a preferred color. Otherwise, she'll be my baby and I will have made some great new contacts. EVERYONE that has reached out to me has been amazing and has shared their knowledge with me. I've learned a ton just from their inquiries.

FUN!

"Complete" is of course relative........but to about 99% of us here......your bronco is already about 99.99999999999999999999% complete :) Especially when you consider what's out there...........there's a lot of really rough, over priced broncos out there for sale. That's probably why so many inquiries.

That is a great find! If it was mine I what do as stated before. New shocks, bushings ,PS, PB, disc brake and change the exhaust to behind the rear tires. Enjoy it and welcome

So who's the new owner? Are you getting a different color one?

Maybe they are just slow?

Well, I hope you kept the bobblehead on the dash in the first picture... Where do you pick up a life sized bobblehead? I want one.

Good that you are keeping it.
Hard to find one that near rust free in that part of the world, and if you did it would cost more as prices are rising quickly.

If you sold it you could end up wanting to spend the money on yoga lessons so that you would be flexible enough to kick yourself.

Skills are not that hard to learn, if you have the will to do it.
An early Bronco is a fine reason to learn.

If you or the new owner plan to pull up the carpets and they are original be careful! I found three build sheets under the front carpet--one on each side and one on the tunnel. You have to very carefully pull back the carpet otherwise they'll get torn up....
