C.I.Nye, can you tell us where you found the 79 bronco kits, and any of the kits for that matter. Thanks. I've done a little searching and the only 79 bronco kit came with a trailer and 67'ish cougar for like 60 bucks plus shipping.

If their is enough requests, It's mentioned in that thread, I believe they will make anything you want as long as you buy 5,000 units.

Your best bet is E-Bay for a kit,These kits are no longer made,I bought all of mine either from a local hobby shop(they are out of them now) or ebay.The bronco is a old matchboAMT,ERTL) kit.They pop up on ebay every once and a while.Expect to pay at a minimum $60 per kit or more depending on age and rarity of the kit.The crew cabs and extra cabs are all custom made from two kits. I have a few more that I have built but have not taken pics of and about a bakers dozen of un built kits waiting for ideas.

thats one of the newer ones,It is a rerelease of the "wild hoss" kit from the early 80s. The $60 is not a "bad" price for one of them.
