Drove it for the first time in 19 years yesterday. Huge thanks to this forum!

I have had so many of you help me with advice, identifying parts, etc. I want to thank you all for your time and experience! Huge shout out to Paul (dirtdonk) and their entire staff at wild horses for all the help here and over the phone. Delconick at northeast classic Ford parts, you've been invaluable to me. The crew at duff's as well. Such a top notch group to deal with.

And I definitely owe a shit ton to local classicbroncos.com member Ransil. He has helped me out so much over the years, towing the bronco to paint and back, lending a hand installing motor and trans, finishing wiring, getting it running, loaning me tools when needed, kicking me parts. The guy has been amazing. I'm in your debt Randy!

Yesterday I drove the 71 for the first time in 19 years when I decided to get in way over my head and do a full frame off restoration and I truly have many of you here to thank, so THANK YOU!

Hell of a good feeling I bet.
Mine wasn't quite as long, 14 years but I know the feeling. This site and it's vendors always helped me with tech and motivation.

Would that be a U.S. shit ton or a Metric shit tonne?

Nice bronco!

 

[Rustytruck]

It looks great. Doesn't seem over your head now does it. Wail until you start getting all the compliments while your driving it. Your heads going to swell so much and you will probably look for another one and start over again.
Damn nice job to you and all the guys that helped fulfill your dreams.

Sure, it's down at the local service garage getting inspection, welding the bc exhaust welded up, alignment and a few other things. I'll post when I get it back, probably Monday.
