A 79 would be a great choice.

I like the one I have now, but don't care for the 4x4 axles.. The 76 was better in my opinion

My 79 Bronco didn't have detents on the 4X4 shifter making it hard to know what range you were in, Don't have the problem with this truck.

Best vehicle I ever had was an 85 Lada Signet. I put just under 400,000 kilometers on it and the only thing I had to change on it was an alternator and a couple headlight bulbs. It only cost me $5500 new..no north American vehicle gave me that service.

My 76 was a lot smoother turning when in 4 wheel drive.. This one isn't and I complained about that since new
