Randy from Driven 4x4 Parts here in Phoenix brought his latest acquisition home to the shop on Tuesday. He found this '71 AT/MS truck rotting into the earth many years ago and his persistence in trying to buy it finally paid off. The truck was located several miles from Randy's business and was last registered 20 years ago. It suffered a very light roll (banged up the hardtop and one of the fenders) but will be very restorable and driveable with a little work. It has the bumper braces, dual shocks, flares, rollbar, padded steering wheel, automatic transmission, center seat, and familiar paint job of a Stroppe Baja Bronco. Some cowl rust but otherwise appears to be solid. It's a 4/71 build. As discovered, the truck had chrome steelies with long-ago flattened BFG All-Terrains on it. Underneath that tire cover was a nice surprise - a nice chrome steelie with a Gates Commando tire in very good condition that I believe still holds air. BajaBronco (Andrew) was very helpful in determining a lot of the details on the truck for Randy.
Randy has it displayed in front of the shop so be sure to stop by and take a look if you're interested and in the area. He's not sure what he's going to do with it at this point other than cleaning it up a bit and getting it running. It's about as close to a "barn find" as we get in Arizona.
More encouraging proof that there are some still "out there".
