Well it all started when I was selling some steel wheels on FB, and a guy came to look at them. He was super nice and was telling me about his '77 and a 1968 that he had, and it was a great conversation.
Towards the end of the conversation he mentions to me, "you know, I may just sell one of the Broncos". He asked if I was interested and honestly, I hadn't been looking for one, but my interest was piqued. He told me about it, and said he'd shoot me some pictures. He sent me pictures that day or a day later and made me a great offer on it. It was kind of a gamble and there is a lot to do - pretty much everything, but I just felt like I needed to do it. So we struck a deal.
Then a few days later he tells me that he is selling his '68, uncut, rust free with no motor or trans in it. Needs fenders and assembly of course.
So I bought that.
Anyways, here is the first one that came off the trailer. 1977, produced in June actually. Trying to figure out which way to go with it. This one is for the wife, and so I am ditching the medium blue metallic for Jade and going for the Ranger stripe package. Also going to switch from 3 speed to C4. I've never switched power trains on anything so it should be interesting.
The back cut outs are not done well, so I think I am going to replace the quarters and on and on!
It came with tons of parts, so I am hoping nothing crazy comes up.
Should be fun! Let's see how far I chase this rabbit hole!
