That's about as far as I would tow with an early Bronco - across the yard!

I am still working my way to a "super clean up" of the shop to get the Bronco in for a long list of repairs and upgrades. I need a 2 stall enclosed garage.

Easiest to just link the thread on the ol red truck. https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1...ds-thread.html

The OLD blue parts truck one is getting stripped down to the 4wd running gear/frame/trans/xfer case and sold to a FTE member in Tx.

Ok so it got bumped down the line by a complete front clip, cab and motor pull, prep to sale the 4wd running gear project. Deal done..then.....


Then it got bumped by a prep to sale the other ol blue truck. I never though I would sale it. Deal is done, it is sold and down the road.

With the blue truck sold, now the Bronco is back in line. Red truck is yelling for top spot to get finished. Decisions decisions.

I am getting my shop list for "the next one to go in" moved around by other projects...the Bruggy came in to get some 38.5's bolted on for a upcoming car show. I know the red Bronco is next or else. Yes there is a 73 Bronco in there somewhere. Look low, real low.
