Does ivy count as weeds?

Found this one a few years back, took this picture in April and was the first time I seen them mow around it. Every time I stop by no one is home, but I will keep trying till it's gone.

The First one on my post is a 66-67 I think. Its sitting in a junkyard in Wasilla, Alaska and the guy that runs it really won't even talk about it (he has several), wouldn't even let me look around at them. 'You tell me what you need and I'll let you know if I have it', kinda guy. I 'snuck' in one row of cars to shoot the photos of that one. The second one was used as a junkyard runner for years before it ended up joining the 'dead' around it.
Yep, sure is sad about the first one.

Well I found a few more on my vacation in Cali, but only have the one picture. This particular one is an old ranch truck, used to feed the cow's and hunt with. Been sitting in this spot for about 4-5 years now. Not for sale, gave it to my son (son in hes 50's or 60's) he plans on fixing! It will sit there until someone has good timing and talks to them on a good day.

Shawn, I have found a couple others sitting down here but have not been able to find anyone to talk to about ownership, but neither have moved in quite a few years. I have not seen the one you posted as of yet. Hope you had a good visit with your family.

Where Are All Those At??? Looks Like There Is Quite A Few!!!

Those were put out to pasture 15- 20 years ago. Not really much there and they are hard to get to any more. They are all 3spds and dana 30's. And rusted away. I bought them for parts when I running my old 66. I'm going to drag them out next spring if I can get permission to Cut a couple trees and cross onto the adjacent property. It was the start of my childhood dream. A Bronco junk yard. Now its more of a graveyard.

Only one was technically in the weeds, but here are some Broncos I took shots of in Silverton, CO last Sunday.

damnit! why can't i stumble across a few of these and have some extra cash? i'd love to put a few more back on the road. i'd like even more to make a DD out of one of them. i'd like to make a 2wd out of one even more than that!!!

i'm thinking stock frame, mustang II IFS, 5.0 EFI, T-5 5 speed, half cab, hard tonneau cover, throw my tools in the back, and have a cool ass work truck!

Awesome thread.
Here's one in Quebec. Been sitting for at least 10 years.
I have first choice. But he doesn't know when that will happen. ?:?

That red tub looks salvageable in the picture. Picture 2 & 3 looks like mother nature is returning them to dust! Shame,

I got this one,less tires ,from a guy who had it sitting in the woods behind his house for 2 years with no top.(softop folded up under 8" of pine needles).His uncle let it sit on his lagoon front property for 10 before him.All in all not that bad.I had to drop the tank and remove the varnish.runs great! Especially for $600.

$600! score

I made a collage of all the busted down Broncos and the like. Something to sit in awe over I guess. These collages don't make great desktops because the colors like to hid your desktop icons. If you want a huge copy or the Photoshop 7 project post up an email. I can do a mass drop on snapfish. Enjoy!

That turned out good! nice job.
