No worse that what you sit in to see Hollywierd tours.

Not sure if dummy subscribed to this post - he's crazy enough to.

I'm going to question your Econoline modification taste.

There's an excursion Bronco whatever you want to call it, with the roof cut behind the rear doors, sitting in downtown Ranson wv. Hadn't moved in years from what I can tell. Has some sort of custom soft top.

I had an 89 c350 four door bronco. I absolutely loved it. It's the reason I got my excursion. If this possible build happens I'd eagerly tune in for updates.
