Ditto on the red one.
It looks like a newer paint job too as well as being cheaper on price.
It has a lift.
Aluminum wheels are a plus.
Does it have square headlights? If so, a plus in my opinion.

Funny how different areas call things differently.
Aluminum diamondplate = checkerplate in Canada? Interesting.

Talking I'm not the right guy to ask that question,LOL.

I'd buy both, you can never have too many 1978/1979 Broncos IMHO.

So hurry up and buy one or I'm hopping on a plane out to BC to buy em both LOL.

PS I don't know how I'm going to get them on the plane to take home.....LOL.

I'm quite sure you will be happy with either one but the blue one does have a soft top.

GL,Rick.
