We aren't far apart, I'm over near Carson City, NV. There was a Wintergreen 72 E/S over near Sacramento, I know the guy sold it a few years ago. I'm talking with a guy from Idaho who is picking up a Wintergreen 72 E/S soon. Crazy thing is that truck is in Montrose, CO about 1 hour from where I used to live and bought my E/S. Our trucks were built about 1 month apart and sold about 2 weeks and 180 miles apart (Grand Junction and Salida, CO). Small Bronco world.
My vinyl is badly cracked too, maybe I should have looked elsewhere for a better quality vinyl (probably cheaper too), but that ship has sailed. This won't see many miles and will be garaged so the vinyl should last longer. From 1972 to 2017 it was parked outside in Grand Junction (4600') and Gunnison (7700'), CO so it just got hammered by the sun. That shouldn't be a factor at this point.
I have a local upholstery guy ready to do my interior, he said my foam is good and just needs some love. I want to wait till the bulk of the work is done before doing the seats. I'd just hate myself if I managed to damage the new seats.
I haven't decided what to do with the floor covering. From what I understand it should be a Ginger rubber mat. I talked with a vinyl and leather company and they did not recommend trying to use a vinyl paint on the floor mat. They said it would wear off quickly under foot. So the 3 options are black floor mat, parchment floor mat, tan carpet kit. I want it close to correct but not concourse correct. I'm adding PS, PB, front disk brakes, Centech wire kit and it will have a 3.5" lift. I'm also not trying to get hoses, wires, etc exactly right. I want it to be a nice driver that looks like what it is, a survivor.
