I'm usually dealing with late 70's dentsides, just picked up this "modified" 73 bronco... it's been mowing farm fields, there's custom hydraulics and a 3 point hitch on the back. Before I start hacking it into a yard plow truck, are these parts worth anything? It has the original top, which I am going to refurb to sell, but as for the drive train? All original as far as I can tell, 302 2bbl, c4, dana 20, rear 9" 3.50 LS, looks like a big bearing 9".. not sure..idk what front axle, low pinion D44?

 

it's all good to the right person (time/place).

Matching numbers R all ways nice too. But then U wouldn't have anything left @ ur house (unless u DIY).
These things have shot up in price/desriability since the internet grew. If U were a bronk follower U'd C that, B able to follow that.
Your choice (do it urself or sell), get over to classic broncos dot com, peruse the net to find the several doz after mrkt vendors, the hundreds of on-line clubs…

No different than ur wrk w/the stepside p/u - they're out there (but B I G G E R than ur p/u following I'd say?).
Keep talkin - we'll get U up 2 speed if interested…

BTW: my bronk would love a 4WD '73/9 ford dentside w/300 as it's been lonely these past 33 yrs in the garage.

 

I have a rotted out 79 f250 with a 400 /4 spd/205 and F/R dana 60's. I think I'll pull the Broncos drive train and swap that in. The bronco frame isn't any good, as far as I can tell...all the body mounts/ other brackets have been cut off and the frame horns have been chopped. The 4spd/205 would handle plowing better than the wimpy C4/d20 anyway.

 

WOW! Hack away! That thing needs to die! The top is worth a couple hundred if it's not rusted. If the windshield frame is not hacked or rusted, it will be worth a bit. The C4 is worth a few hundred and should be easy to sell; they're getting hard to find. A lot more D20s out there, but still worth a little bit. If it's truly a '73 and not had an axle swap then the front is a D30; usually given away. But if it's a D44, then it's worth some money.

 

Oh, and the stock PS box is worth a bit too. There are quite a few boxes that people use to add PS, but if someone is doing a restoration, they need that original box.

 

i'll give U $50 for the 4 hubcaps.
