Thank Christ they were pictures of the truck and not of you!!
Nice , now how about some shots of it having fun, covered in mud!!
Couple of Bronco questions , since I know squat about Bronco's....
is that small padded roll bar factory?
I remember seeing a few of these with soft tops, more like a tonneau cover that stretched up from the tailgate to the roof , was that optional or aftermarket?
and what's under the hood of this shining clean pavement queen? ( I know, I'm gonna pay for that last comment!)

Be careful what you wish for Frank LOL.
First the roll bar and padding are OEM Factory Ford.
Next the softtops were after market and I want one badly, unfortunatly the company in the USA that manufactures them was mismanaged into Bankruptcy so I will have to wait until someone bails them out.
Jeffs Bronco Grave Yard said they get at least 5 calls a day for the softtops and will keep looking for alternatives.
As for what's under the hood it has a 351M that sucked back fuel like a man dieing of thirst in the desert having his first drink of water at the oasis after a week in the desert, so yesterday pulled all the ignition components off and checked them out.
It looks like this thing hasn't had a tune up in about 10 years, number 8 plug was barely firing.
So I did a complete tune up, what a difference, now I'll have to address the Carb(It has a Four Barrel Corvette Carb and an Edilbrock intake---or so I'm told).
I did a timing chain and gear set on my old 1979 brown truck and new the parts were cheap but I didn't remember how cheap $32.00 (incredible,no?)
So this will get the same thing down the road(it has 193,000 km on the engine) which means I've put on over 2,000 kms in about 2 weeks.
So basically you can replace water pump, hoses and front main seal and timing gear set for about $100.00.
BTW Frank may you be haunted with that vision for a long long time LOL
