i bought a 73 bronco and started demoing it as so as i power washed the foot and a halve of dirt out of undercarriage , before buying i looked at 34 other bronco's and funny thing this was the very first one i looked at , if i knew anything about bronco at the time i would have bought it immediately . so here is the start and i have taken pics of every step along the way .

i'll keep posting pics of when i bought it and started to disassemble . the bronco had a slide in camper in it for most of it's life around 20 years , and that's why there is a hole bored in the bed . the second owner glued in some carpet and cut the fenders . he promised the first owner he would never cut and the next morning he cut all four flares it then became his hunting truck.

Something's wrong with that Bronco...It doesnt seem to have any rust

JK Looks like a great find. I wish they had bodies like that around here. Again...great looking ride. Curious what ever happened to the camper?

Great find... wish my rig was as clean. I have to replace all the floor, inner fenders and tailgate but it will be FUN doing it! (Thats what I have to keep telling myself..LOL)

777mechanic · Nov 29, 2010

the camper was taken off by the second owner and he took it to the bone yard . these pics are of the rusty squares on the inner fender panels

tk1218 · Nov 29, 2010

Those inner fenders are not that hard to fix.

777mechanic · Nov 29, 2010

pictures of repairs to inner fender panels .

777mechanic · Nov 29, 2010
