Five years ago, I bought what I thought was a great 73 bronco and due to rust I am having to do a tub swap which I am in the process of. I then built a 66 and built a Bronco known as Rusty or Tetanus. I then got the 66 bug and was going to restore a 66 u13 after my 73 was done.

I am super happy to say, I have sold my Rust Business and bought a bone stock 68 with no rust! I picked it up Thursday and started the engine yesterday from a gas can for the first time since 89. I also added some 16s I had...should be on the road soon and then back to restoring the 73. I know guys that find rust free Broncos but this is my first and will be my only Bronco that I will be keeping! Did sell the business to my friend and added a picture of the Bronco he picked up Friday!

Thanks
John

What a great truck. Love the original paint guys like mine. Your looks even more solid and the color is perfect. Please do not paint it.

On the road

After almost two month I feel comfortable enough to say my 68 is on the road! Funny most Broncos i bought, I find unknown surprises along the way. This one just gets better the more I work on it. I got everything going and it runs great! 2nd gear is a little tough to get into but just wanted it drivable for around town for now. Added wilwood front disk, toms seats which I was able to get seat heater into and other misl stuff. Plans are to finish my other projects and later upgrade engine, drivetrain and suspension and drive it! Not changing paint or much else... Definitely a keeper!

Happy Turkey Day!
John
