Bronco II lives!

I bought a 1989 Bronco II for $400 and drove it halfway home. On the way home, I broke it. The engine stopped and would not start. I got gas but no spark so figured it was a timing chain. Long story short, it was a sheared woodruff key on the crank gear.

All said and done, new wheel cylinders, water pump, crank gear, oil, antifreeze, etc cost about $200. Add plates and government imposed taxes and crap and my total for a running sweet truck is about $750.

EVERYTHING works on this thing. I am so happy and want to thank the members of this forum for helping me.

So, should I paint it white and get a vanity plate that reads "NOT OJ"? Think getting in a 2-hour low speed chase through my town is a bad idea?

I kinda figured, that's why I threw in that devil face.

He was a decent running back and a mediocre comedian. But definately has a few screws loose in the head.
