SOLD 1970 Bronco Rat Crawler Project

[377]

City: Cynthiana
Price: $ 20000

Hello,

I am selling a 1970 Bronco that lived its entire life in Montana until last year. It has a clean Montana Title in my name. The body has surface rust/damage that’s expected with a rig of its age and how it was used. I did replace the front floor pans otherwise it’s solid factory original metal. The body was taken off the frame and the frame was sandblasted , then painted with Steel It Black Paint. The underside of the body,interior and engine compartment was taken down to bare metal. Everything was resealed and epoxy primed then sprayed with body colored Raptor liner or Lizard Skin. The Lizard Skin was applied in areas where heat can be an issue, front floor pans and lower firewall. All floor mounts and braces were just painted body color. I did the braces that way because I liked the look and so that a future buyer could see this isn’t a case of liner covering rotted metal. I left the body as it was because I was building this truck as a trail rig and I kinda liked how it looked. Below is a list of what was done to the truck.
