1980 Bronco interior delete

Kids don't ride in the Bronco anymore....just me and my wife hauling the boat to the ramp or wheeling a little bit at the beach...surf fishing etc.

Went ahead and gutted it. I do care about my Bronco but I can't turn back the rust....so when it gets too bad she'll be put down. But still I couldn't believe how bad it was under the vinyl and the insulation. So I think I gained a few more years out of this move. Yes all of the insulation was WET.

After further review since all of the weatherstripping is shot water has been leaking in for years and years. And with the vinyl flooring and insulation I never saw it.

You should clean up the rust, and spray in some blue bedliner to match your seats, or fix your leaky top

Doesn't look like there is too much for the seat belt to anchor to...

I can see one of the original problems right on your tail gate.
Cracked window sweeps allow rain water to POUR into the doors and it is virtually impossible to stop it from finding its way to the vehicle interior at that point.

Too late for you but others should take notice
