It's been quite a few years since I have been here and just as long since I have thought of anything Bronco. In that time I managed to get a divorce (the Bronco was brough up a lot during those proceedings, but low and behold I still have the remanents of a 75 and she is long gone), put my bronco frame and motor into storage, move 600 miles away with two young kids, and started life over. Just seems that something has still been missing and I figure it is a Bronco. So after lots of beating the bushes I managed to find 5 in and around the area I live so I figured it would be time to cold call 4 of them. I tried one already and was told I would be shot if I stepped further onto their property... made it about 10' down their driveway, so I figured I could let that one go. Hopfully tomorrow is the day that we find our new family project....

Scoop, for got the CASH money, not a bad idea to have a couple of thousand on you if you can and hunting in relatively safe places. Locked and loaded comes to mind also.

Might want to try a drone too. At least if it gets shot you won't get hurt!
Good luck, I hope you find one soon!

Well today was a bust. One guy had multiple of them sitting back under cover but he wasn’t selling any. Can’t say don’t blame him, a couple looked to be prime for restoring. Another one I went to look st ended up being a Heep. The search will continue.

He only has 7 in this building. He has 19 in all. I tell him he’s a bronco hog

Not that there's anything wrong with that! ;D Sneak another picture for us sometime.

akforsyth, be sure to wear a smile and not a scowl on the hunt with strangers Broncos. Lots of gun owners here too, but usually pretty easy to get on their good side. Good luck on the hunt!

hint
when hunting drive up in a Bronco ... (doesn't matter what year the bronco)
or if you don't have a driver, wearing a Bronco shirt or hat helps
