Thank you, Papy - just keep plugging away as you can. We’re looking to see some pictures!

Great looking stable chucky.....

No miles logged since November since the failure with the Rancho Overdrive, but I’m planning to get the new Rancho installed next week and then she will be back on the road. In the meantime, some progress on the interior. Dennis Carpenter sport floor mats and TBP Premium seats added. I also added a 66 style t-case shifter. Underneath I have swapped out two degree bushings for seven degree to help with handling.


I included a pic of the stable after receiving the new license plate. I found Galaxie dog dish hubcaps which I plan on installing - not my idea the credit goes to some other members here.

That thing is looking awesome! Can't wait to see it in person! Gotta love the 66 4wd shifter compared to the later t shift....

Thank you Super Dave and Green Bug! It’s good to be able to get out a bit with the Bronco and venturing out further as she gets broken in. I’m also looking forward to meeting up in NC sometime soon and seeing that Pebble Beige survivor in person. About 150 miles on the odometer now. It was great to meet up with Ron (B RON CO) and family this week!

Great Job there Chuckyb . Did I read that correctly. This BRONCO is a 4 generations in your family .YOUR GRAND FATHERS, your Dad, yourself, & I believe I see your son or a sister son... That fantastic .. If I'm correct with 4 generations ...
Did your Grand Father become the 1st owner or was he a 2nd+ owner.

Thanks, Pa, I really appreciate it! I am the second owner....my Grandfather on my mom’s side purchased it new. He owned it and drove it into the late 1990’s when he passed. My Dad and I have worked on it together along with my son, daughter and son-in law..so four generations of our family have been involved so far!

I'm so happy for you Chuck, I am glad to see it on the road.

Thanks Jason! I am thankful for the huge help that you have provided. I’ve got my roof hoisted and some more final touches added. Here’s some recent pictures.

Posting some pictures in “hot summer mode”…canvas top on and window frames out…I plan on removing the soft top and have open air for a while in the fall.

Great shots, beautiful rig. Enjoy the time behind the wheel, you sure earned it! I think your Grandpa is probably looking down wearing a huge grin......
