salvage yard treasure

alright guys, its been awhile since ive posted on this side of the forums. But i recently bought a 78 bronco when my 93 bronco blew a back rear..so i paid 1000 for it, new skyjacker lift, headers 351M c6, NP205 35 inch tires...drove it an hour and a half home, no problems, now it does have some flaws, (cracked windshield, interior is a mess, and leaky valve covers..)

so i decided to start doing some interior work, i was looking for a new dash pad in great shape (hard to come by, i know) so my dad told me the local yard had a 78 f150 with a mint dash pad

so i went up and sure enough it was mint!




heres the old dash






much better, not bad for 12 bucks huh?




(yes brake line leak, already fixed)

now i know its a bronco, but i figured id show this side the dash i found since i know alot of you guys look for these
