He said they are all off a 68....and forgot to mention a dash pad with NO cracks.
I got such a deal on the parts, I just could not pass them up.
I went there to get the top and doors, and he started showing me the rest of it.
No fenders or tailgate though, but the dash has all the wiring/plugs.
Also sorry to say he put a 1980 chevy monza body on the ol 68 bronco running gear. I saw what was left of the tub, it was gone from having rock salt bags stored in the bed that had busted open.
Almost destroyed the back end of the frame along with the back end of the tub.
Might use the top and doors on ol red for winter wheeling or flip sale all the parts??

"...the...doors...flip sale all the parts??..."
the reason I asked bout the doors is cuz that's the last yr for the removable window frames. Look @ the frnt/back door edges & see the (3 bolts/side) bolts to remove them. It's a nice idea to take out the frames when runnin topless, U flip down the windshield & have no thing higher than the top of yer stearing wheel!

Enjoy, be safe AND productive!
Thanks for the pic, the stuff sure looks spiffy eventho so close to all that salt!
"...the door window frames..."
B careful on dissasembly, their worth $125 a piece. There's a "Y" on the bottom that may bend depending on how U take them out. The latch and striker (if it IS a '68) are the 1st of the run that finished up the model (ie 66 - 7 is different).

Ol red's getting a trail buddy... I like the body less version and I plan on it staying that way.
73 EB w/title, 302 3 spd, 33's and different fuel tank, should be mine in a few weeks.
Even has a back seat! Move over 2wd volkswagen dune buggy folks.
Where is the frame stamped vin BTW? I know normally the vin tag is on the glove box door, when it has a dash and a glove box hole to bolt too...
Yes it has a glove box hole, but it is in an all metal none OEM dash.
