My 67 was my first bronco and has served me really well over the last 13+years. So it time for some upgrades. This is the back story behind this truck.
I have always been a Ford guy. I got a 67 mustang when I was 20, had that for a while but was always more of a truck guy. Sold that and picked up a 68 F250 4X4 High boy. Restored that and really liked it but wanted to get into off roading. The F250 was too big and awkward for wheeling so I sold that. Didn't want a Jeep like everyone else so I started looking for a early bronco. I looked for about 6 months and found one in a local sale paper. I believe it was January or February of 2005. It was owned by a guy that was in the Airforce he was stationed in Dover, DE. He was form Oregon and had the truck shipped out east. I went and looked at the truck it was all there, but ran like crap, Had a crushed passenger fender, no real rust, and a bunch of new in the box parts so I got it. Turned out the engine ran like crap because the plug wires were on the wrong plugs! I paid $2,200 for the bronco. Over the next 2 years I put new wheels tires, paint job, Rebuilt the motor and a bunch of other work into the truck. I wheeled it when ever I could at Rausch Creek, Gore, and a private location in Delaware. I drove it on weekends and nice days as much as I could.Over the following years it has had a lot of other work done to it, I sawped in Power steering, a dana 44 with disc brakes, Powerbrakes, NP-435 trans, and tons of other odds and ends. I have bought and sold at least 8 other broncos since I got this truck. I updated the front springs and bushings a few years back and went up to 35" tires. I haven't wheeled the truck in about 6 years. I bought my company, had a kid, and moved in that time frame so life hasn't let me use or wheel the truck like I used to. Now its time for some love again. Below are a few pics from when I got it and me wheeling it a Rausch Creek.
