The $175 Bronco, good tranny, 4wd works, 5.0L engine knocked like a ****.
Bought it (BKO) for the tranny and some body parts for this one...the $300 F150.
It runs awsome. Ive got a pair of closed chamber 289 heads, should bump the compression to around 11:1 so I can run propane. Ive got a 4" lift for it, doing the body work (half done now) and throwing some semi-gloss black down for paint.
I need a summer truck for next year, keep the 444cid powerstroke for the winter when it makes me money.

I took it hunting once (my wife thought I was crazy) and it crawled through the bush great. I would not hesitate to take this truck on a trip. It runs better then my 2005 chev that I have for work. That POS stranded me in 100 Mile House in -30 weather. All GM could say was that I was out in "extreme weather". Ya, extreme for California.
But for being a stock IH, she is great.

already used the drivers side door and front fender, need the tranny also. The bko engine is toast, the right rear 1/4 panel is toast too, I might use the running gear under a regular cab s/b ranger for a high speed offroad toy lol...I dont know, might just advertise it for cheap as in a "get rid of it for me" type way. Ive got the door and fender off the truck on it, wouldnt be a bad base for a toy I guess...I just want something small(er than a bko) with big axles I can rally bag lol.

It was Sunday when I took the pics so nobody was around and I did not want to tromp around too much. Next time I go by when he is open I will stop in and ask for some prices. I know he was asking 2 grand for the one I like.
