• Be EXTREMELY cautious if someone offers to buy your Bronco for more than your asking price and sight unseen. ESPECIALLY if the buyer is overseas. It's probably a scam.

Almost looks like what I want don't you think!
Don't know what you want but if it looks like it to you , start bidding , it ends in 2 days . I saw one on Ebay in Boise yesterday , real POS at $42.5K , what a joke , but there you have it . This '68 won't disapoint !

That's ok. Paid 35k for mine. I've been looking for a halfcab and bull head for mine. Also I'd like to find an original rearview mirror? Have one?

Hope you have a good hunt and weather changes up a bit, where are you going and where are you coming from? I have about 4" here of snow that has stuck! Luv your 68. Wished things would happen the way they should but I have now a 74 Explorer with Wind Blue paint. I hope you get what your looking for on the 68. Nice Bronco!

Last Friday we had 10+" of snow & COLD ! Today , it's melted good where I moved it , the rest a few inches . Elliston is 20 mi west of Helena on the Little Blackfoot . My daughter lives in Great Falls so Saturdays hunt is NE of there & Sundays is SW of there .
The '68 isn't mine , I sold it in '08 but I'm helping where I can with the sale . Some of my past customers have stayed in touch with me for 20+ years .

Yeah this year has been a weird one on weather, I don’t feel so bad now with my little bit of snow, I’m in the Yaak above Troy, NW corner. I have a place I hunted during bow in the Breaks out of Roy, that is a nice looking Bronco but now a days is 😝 I think we might see a drop which it could use for us poorer folks. Up in the Breaks, we had good moisture and the birds were plenty. The hunters were going nuts even shooting them on my property, hopefully you’ll have the same luck. Good hunting!

Hey stevew, how did your hunt go? Did you find that mirror?


Hey Steve,
I was thinking cause you sounded too me like you have a business in our KA rigs, I'm going to send you a picture so you can see the Brush Guard but it's one of a few pictures I have of my 74 Ranger back in 76, I wished I had more but back then is not like today in taking pictures but if you have one or know where I might get one, I'd truly appreciate it. they were an aftermarket of course but nice and simple. Not like today's Brush Guards.

Thanks, Marvin

Had a really good hunt , worn to the bone tho ! Can't really see anything in the pic but regardless I don't have anything like that . I have a ton of parts left over from the restoration business & do have the mirror . I can text a pic or email but PM me with a way to contact you .
Thanks
Steve

I bought it in 2005 started to restoration then I started working on my mustang fastback so that’s what I’m doing now on my 71/2 cab, they welded the roof to the tub actually actually they took brazing rod and it was fun to cut it apart

Definitely nice rides, luv the 4post looking to get one used but hard to find. I notice what I think is the 56, I had one many years ago that was a long bed 3/4 ton I wished I knew where all my pictures went but back then they were printed, the mustang is sweet!

I sure could use it for elk hunting here but can’t afford Broncos at their prices, I’m looking for a Bronco to restore with my grandson when he becomes of age, I might if I could find an uncut halfcab I’ll keep that and we can restore the Explorer
