I finnaly found a good start to a nice bronco

I picked up this for cheap this weekend





It is in fair shape for in the rust belt......I have to replace the drivers side rocker, the floor pans and have to fix the toe board on the drivers side. If i cut the quarters I have to weld in a few patches........ if i decided to go for the uncut look (which I may go for )I will probally weld new quarters in since the lip was cut for bigger tires and will get rid of the fiberglass fenders and put stock steel ones on it.


I already have 2 broncos a 74 and a 77 but they are strickly trailer only rock buggies...the bodies are in BAD shape.

here is my 74


I plan on taking the power steering, power brakes, and the james duff long arm suspension and lift off the 77 and use it on the "New" one. I will also swap out the d30 with a disk brake d-44

Nice Find. Its rare to find an uncut one these days.
What year is it? You mention a 77 but have a 76 listed in your signature.

the "new" one is a 68

my signature is wrong the one with the full widths and james duff suspension is a 77....I need to update the signature.

I found some good parts for the "new" one.

I found a guy locally that had NOS ford front fenders, NOS rockers, NOS door posts, NOS striker posts and some NOS mechanical parts all for a small fraction of that the repo stuff costs. So far I got all that stuff and the bronco itself for under $1000 total.

I need to order floor pans and a bunch of other stuff soon so the $$ I have in it is going to be doubling or tripling real soon!!!!
