Hello everyone, I'm new here. I've been wanting an early Bronco for years and finally pulled the trigger on one. It's a 1972 and the body is pretty well toast. The frame looks like it's in really good shape though. It originally came with a 170 but has a 289 or 302 now. Haven't tried getting it to run yet and don't really even care if it will run. I've got big (expensive) plans for it including a new body in all likelihood.
A little background, I'm a lifelong Ford guy. I've owned several Mustangs. First car was a fox body, I restored a 1966 Mustang and currently have a 2018 GT. I pride myself in doing everything possible by myself. I've got a lot to learn about these Broncos and I'm pretty excited to get to work on it. My current problem is that I don't really have a big enough garage to do what I want to. The plan is to move in the next couple years and find a place where I can build a garage where I can really get to work.
In the meantime I'm going to be learning as much as I can about what I want to do. I'm open to any advice as well regarding what to look for and how to go about a full restoration. Anyhow, thanks for having me.
