Got another one!

Drug home another red 74 explorer yesterday, its rough, really rough. Unfortunately no title either. But it still has some usable parts.

Nice. Yes, a lot of age in that thing. But there are also lots of interesting original parts.

You have better insight than me!

The other side has the correct one and there was a piece of the old one inside.

Nice passenger seat, looks like most of the front red “unobtainium” Explorer mat and a rather original looking engine bay. If that (hopefully good) ignition module has a black grommet, hang onto it!

It appears to be mostly original with a few pieces swapped out. He said it ran and drove when it was parked. The engine turns over by hand and has clean oil in it. The material on the back of both seats is in great shape just dirty. Need to find a good cleaner that won't damage them. The passenger side was good til a mouse tunneled through it.

At least it was still trying to climb that hil in the first pic

It's hooked up to a crane truck, wheels were halfway in the dirt.

If you are looking to get rid of the front hubs LMK.

Good find, what is your plan

There's just one 66 hub, most likely will be parts. I may keep the chassis and try to get a title for it.

One hub could be a start.

There certainly are some good parts on that one.
I miss the days of finding broncos like these, picking them up cheap and either stealing what i needed for other builds and selling the rest or cleaning them up getting them running and selling them again. I didnt make any money it was just fun and was cool to save the ones I could. Just too stupid expensive anymore.

One hub is enough to start a whole new Bronco build

That's the only reason my bronco is in working order lol. Almost impossible to find them cheap anymore.
