Hey Miles, glad to hear from ya!
Good Luck on the new job, and a big congrats on the new arrival!!
If I hear of a decent Bronco, I'll let ya know.
I remember in 1964, my parents were shopping for a new car..we stopped at this Ford dealer, and in the lot was a new Falcon Sprint hard top, with a 4sp and 289..well my ma was looking at a new Comet caliente 4dr with a 289 auto, I wanted the sprint, but we came home in the Comet.

Good morning Wyoming, welcome to the last Friday of 2011!!
Hey, I know you! Miles, congrats on the little girl, buddy!! Greatest thing to ever happen in your life! So, where are pics of the new toy??
Good Afternoon Wyoming. Its been a minute since I have had the time to even turn on a computer. I started a new job at Laramie River Station on November 21. LRS is a 3 unit570 MW coal fired power plant in Wheatland. It has been a big change from a desk job but I love it and feel like I have accomplished something when I leave for the day covered in coal dust.
Also in November my wife and I had an addition to our family. Claire Adeline Whitney was born Novmber 18, weighing 6 pounds 2 ounces. After a little struggle with weight loss and jaundice, she is almolst pushing 8 pounds a getting quite good at keeping us up all night.
My dad and I decided that drag racing the old F100 was getting to be more than we could afford so we traded the 514 engine for a 1963 Ford Falcon Futura and a 1963 Galaxie. Both need a little cleaning up but they both run and drive great. I am also in the Market for a 1966-1977 Bronco. I have a 4BT ready to do a swap, just need a solid bronco to put it in.

You are welcome! How complete do you need the bronco to be?

I am looking for a project bronco that i can tinker with over the next 5-7 years. I would prefer very minimal rust, mostly complete so I am not trying to source parts forever or having to buy aftermarket stuff. I definitely need one without the fenders cut and if it doesn't have an engine that is fine. I found a few around Wheatland today but three of them were loved and the other two's owner wasn't home.
I am looking to do a frame off restoration back to basically stock appearance. I want to do a 4BT cummins swap, a 2-3 inch lift with some 31" BFG Mud Terrains on stock wheels with stock hubcaps. I found a perfect specimin that was for sale in colorado but it was way above my price limit because the work was already done.
