Gotta love Broncos! Of course you can't go wrong with any Ford Truck Just think about what you will be using it for and get one that will work for your needs. I bought my '69 Bronco when I was 19, it was my first 4x4 and 15 years later, I still have it! I've had alot of other trucks since then but the Bronco is still my favorite.

where are you located and how far will you travel? only looking for Ford or any other brand ok? What price range? I will keep an eye out if you will travel this far. Must it be 4x4 or is it just a want? same on engine- any size fine? I know of a '88 F250 long bed standard cab 5 spd with a inline 6 runs fine body ok. dark red color. I think he was asking $2500 on it, might get it for less. two wheel drive. runs good. i bought mine from the same guy and he treated me good, didn't lie to me and worked with me as much as possible, pretty nice guy. I'm also 16 (17 in may) and this was my first truck, got it 2 weeks before i got my license. Paid for with cash. if you want to, shoot me an email and let me know what you want and i'll email you when i find stuff. we can't post email addresses, so go to my website and click on my email- www.cuttingedgelawncare.biz

Congrats!

Eric

I have a truck for you 95 F150 ext. cab 5.0L 4X2 184,000 miles and I just put a motor in it and the transmission was recently rebuilt. I got in when I was in high school with 99,000 miles and it has given me very little trouble. I just got another 95 F150 with 67,000 miles. That is the only reason I want sell it.

get a bronco. PARTYMOBILE!!! You will have much more fun in it, though a truck is nice, too. I am 21 now, and glad I have my truck now, but most teens destroy or drive into the ground their first vehicle, and having a partymobile for a couple years was MUCH better than having my trucks (on my third truck now, sold the first two when they were on their last legs). Plus, in MN, all the heated room in the back of a bronco/blazer... is MUCH BETTER than a truck bed or the bench seat if you know what I mean .
