I usually don't like broncos quite as much and trucks in that era (probably shouldn't be saying that in the bronco section) but i definitely could see myself driving that one just as much as my truck..
p.s. thats one mean looking dog

no rust at all.
the previous owner only had the truck for two months and didn't know much about it, he didn't meantion any gears or lockers. (and this is my first 4x4, couldn't tell ya)
and the kid that owned it last had lost his job and was desperate for money, I got it for $990. It runs great, starts up every time without any hesitation.

you got that for 990????? OMG!!!!
well done mystro....
What a deal...i'm sooo jelouse. really!
The '79 bronco is the best of the best. I had one with a well built 429 that rocked my world...now i have a rusted out worn out '79 that will someday rock it too.
The bronco turns on a dime, ride very well when set up right and is good for most all worthy endeavors. In some markets a rust free 79 that runs well and updated is worth 10 times what you paid for it. Not a bad investment imo. You must have some good mojo working in your life.

it looks like it's ready to be finished. Some decent body work and paint. then protect the interior panels to ward off rust.
I'm considering using zink plates like they do for marine applicaitons...metal basically cant rust.
