Guys, I s been a while since I last was a steady member here, but it seems that I have run into another diamond in the rough. 71 full top, everything's there. 302, body, floor pans, and kick panels look good. Lady asking 5k. Not running, but probably only needs plugs and clean fuel.. Comments?

Wow KB! Do it! I was hoping you would jump back in the game. What direction would you go this time? LUBR, street or nasty trail rig? Post some pics.

5k is about the minimum to buy any EB out this way too. Sounds like it could be a keeper.

There are pics that a relative of mine took. The truck is in pretty good shape for what it is. For now, I am just interested in getting it running and fixing all of the daily driver type items. If I buy it, it will stay uncut and will be a frame off resto like my last one.

Sounds terrible...Where's she located?;D

Just kidding, sounds like a deal. Better grab it before somebody else does.

Keith, I hope it's a good one for you. If you make it anywhere close to what you did with Pistola it will be great! It is still one of my favorites.

Good to see you back.

Thanks man! The wife is not too sure this time around. I miss Pistola and from what I understand, the guy I sold it to sold it to someone in CA. Maybe we'll see it turn up here.

D Rock, it's a long ways from NC! Lol! It's hidden in an oak thicket a couple of hours from here. Brother in law spotted it for me. It's got some real cool history too, which of course will be part of naming the project.

I have more questions than answers.
Will be pretty tough for you to beat the history on Pistola... Hope it works out just so we can hear the story behind it.

The way prices keep rising I'm sure the seller made some money off it. Wonder if he past on the story behind it....

Sooo when are you picking it up????

Well, it will probably be after the new year if I in fact do decide to buy it. The Bronco is coming from the original owner's family which is a ranch family in Texas. I hope to have it soon.
