Description:
Vehicle was bought brand new in 1978 (December) by my uncle, who drove it as a daily driver for many years after. In 1992 he bought another car and the Bronco became a work horse. Then from 1993 till 2006 the truck sat in his back yard deteriorating. Since I was 15y/o I had been asking my uncle to relinquish the Bronce so I could restore and drive the beast. In 2006 all my prayers and beggings had paid off, the word that the truck was mine had passed. After hauling the truck 900 plus miles to SC (where I was stationed before NC) I had the truck and the restoration began. The truck now sits in my garage where I work on it and will eventually have done by 2012 (estimate).
