Hello All. First post for me and wanted to share in my excitement. Just brought home a new to me 75 Bronco. I stumbled on this truck 1.5yrs ago when a friend and his son were helping me with some work on my house I was in the process of building. I told them my wife was wanting a Jeep for her graduation and that I was trying to convince her on a classic Bronco or FJ40. His son mentioned they had a Bronco that had been sitting in their barn for years and that they needed to sell it. I made the trip to their place to take a look and my friend wouldn’t come out and talk to me. He said he new if he came out of the house, I’d convince him to sell it to me. I took a quick look and went home empty handed. Next trip they made out to my place my friend and I agreed he’d sell it to me if he hadn’t done anything with it in 6months. My wife wasn’t in the mood to wait that long so I found and bought her a ‘77 CJ7. Happy wife, happy life! I kept up minimal pressure on my friend to part with his Bronco with no luck. Last week I sent him a text offering a deal he couldn’t refuse and wouldn’t you know it, he didn’t refuse. Drove home today with my new toy/project!
I look forward to learning all I can from those willing to help. He said it was running when he parked it in ‘04 and all it needed was a clutch. He had decided to replace motor and swap out the 3spd for an auto. He got as far as pulling off the fenders and grill.
A few pics of where it has been sitting since ‘04 and after it’s first bath in 14yrs.
