This Bronco was posted on Craig's List in Iowa awhile back. I saved his number, and called him back long after the posting expired. After paying a friend $1 a loaded mile (400 miles one way), he just dropped it off. Haven’t gave it the once over, but it looks to be a decent start.
I just happen to have picked up another last weekend with a rebuilt 200 under the hood. I may be doing a little swappin’ around.

I need to get my resto paid up. Then get my hotrod Bronco project done. Then I can get back to scouring the backwoods again. I still know where there are a few "in the weeds". :0)

That soft top hard ware is not original. It looks like early Kayline stuff.

Removed a donor 200 today-
Sent out the wheels and window frame for blasting and paint.
Best early bronco feature: Bolt on windshield frames!
Used my elbow grease too!
