Getting in line to start the truck games. 1st up was the "Slow crawl", slowest to go in 60 ft distance, without brakes and no clutch riding neither. That cammy 302 wanted to go go go, and not be slow slow slow.

The toss the item in the bucket game going on, on one side and the corn hole boards on the other....So my back seater was tossing the bean bags from the top side. You have to at least have one body part IN the vehicle....so my passenger made the most of it. His foot was under the dash, and yes we got every item in the "bucket".

Nice view.
Hopefully it wasn’t because you were lying flat on your back after falling!

I appreciate the concern, but no I was setting down on a rolling work stool, just taking a break.

Well we only managed to take the ol Bronco out on one off roading park adventure this year. So it has been in the garage and winter weather temps are almost upon us. But no worries I alwasy have some thing to do to it and in the heated garage is the best place to do it. But I am not afraid to snow wheel it, here is a pic from a while ago.

Brrrr!!! We're still having highs in the 90's and lows in the lower 70's here in Texas.

I've been working on my 72 Javelin race car, but I'm itching to get back on the Bronco.

I am also in the middle of garage/shop/storage shed overhaul. It involved pouring a concrete floor in the 10x10 air compressor/high bay storage room. I also concreted the floor of a 10x12 storage shed. Put up all new shelves and then proceded to get it 1/2 full with one mass purchase of a bunch of early Bronco parts.

The other shelves are catching the extra stuff I have in the shop.

10x10 compressor room.

Storage shed.

Left overs, and no I did not have time to form up the steps or they would of been concreted. I did not expect to have that much left over, and better too much than NOT enough.

Or did you mean the early Bronco parts....of course you did. Lol Hard top trim, new headliner. Hard top and door glass. 2 heater boxes. OEM bed area rubber pads. Windshield motor and arms. Totes full of parts.

Brake drum, spindles all new rebuilt w/bearing and all hdwr x2. OEM radiator for a 302.

Exhaust manifolds, dash pads X2. 302 starter, fly wheel. Totes full of parts.

Bed patch panel.

For a 302


OEM wiring harness, p/s pump w/brackets. New TBP head light trim.

Said 302 that has 33,000 verified miles on it. AND he included the eng stand.


Ok so the shed is not 1/2 full, but I have another shed with truck and Bronco parts....

Impressive haul! I have the same affliction that you do - I only have one Bronco, but I have two engines, two or three transfer cases, three transmissions, a spare Dana 30 and a spare Dana 44, and a *****load of other stuff.

Wish I had some land to store parts vehicles and such. I grew up in the country and kept my projects in our pole barn, but our HOA wouldn't want me doing that in our 'hood these days.

No way NO how could I live in ever "in town". I like my property size and the fact that the X bro inlaw / still my neighbor lets me have full acess to his surounding 600+ for hunting. And I gladly give him a hand with fence and moving cattle when he asks.


The well stocked fishing pond that the grandkids love.

Plus he always comes across some stuff I can use in my back yard obstacle course, that I built during covid times. This is in the "back" yard of my property.
