Bought a 1976 stock Bronco Ranger about a month ago. Got the Marti report and the original stock color is listed as "Glen Green". I think this is Ford's secret code for yellow but who cares, I got a bronco!
That's why I decided to name him "Glen".
He hasn't run in 7 years but he does now. Read a bunch of stuff on here about starting up engines that have sat for long periods of time and after I figured out the distributor rotates counter-clockwise he fired right up! Big relief.
Doing the front end right now, brakes bearings, fluids etc. I don't think the PO did anything, ever to this truck! Rotors scored, pads almost nonexsistant etc.
I stripped everything out of the interior because it sat outside for 7 years with the window open and a full interior of carpet and side panels. All wet, all rusty and it smelled like wet dog. A $20 tarp would have made him a lot more money when he sold it! It amazes me how poorly people treat their equipment.
Just wanted to introduce my truck and say I appreciate all the info. and ideas on here. I've got a lot of work to do but good thing it only takes lot's of time and money!
