A ride down Memory Lane anyone?

My FIRST ex wife was always one for pictures. And she was that one woman that would break out pictures on a drop of a hat. We still get along pretty good even after our 2 kids are grown and living there own lives, so when I asked her if she had any of our wedding pics of my 1st Bronco she was quick to send them.

So here is my 1967 Bronco that I fell in love with. Bought it for about $2k in '85 with a busted front chunk. Replaced the chunk and drove the hell out of it. It wasn't perfect, no door panels, Vice Grips as window cranks (old car parts wasn't on the internet), the bumpers were welded to the frame, etc.
When my wife got pregnant I had to sell it. We went on our Honeymoon for a week after these pictures and since I kept the Bronco in the yard uncovered, the seed that everyone threw at us grew grass in the floor board.

Damn I wish I had her back......the Bronco not the woman

Nice, and thanks for sharing. I picked up a new to me 75 Bronco, on the eve of my wedding day in 1983. The fiancé and I rented a car for the wedding day and kept our rides locked in the garage.

The wife and I took our honeymoon on a grand tour of the Colorado Plateau, Monument Valley, Canyon de Chey, Sunset Crater, Grand Canyon and such in the blue '73. I remember a group of Japanese tourist coming out of the Grand Canyon Lodge as we drove up and marveling at the big tires as much as anything. "Big" meant 32s in those days!

Cool, I like looking at old pictures. Especially ones of hotrod or neat trucks and Broncos. One thing I noticed in the pics is the tires on the Bronco, don't remember the brand name on them, seems it was something like Grand Prix or something like that. I had a set of them on one of my F150 4x4 trucks years ago, they were similar to the old Denman Ground Hawgs.

Around here a lot of Grand Prix brand tires were sold by Grand Auto stores. I used to think it was a private label brand for them but I don’t remember whether I actually ever asked them.

When I bought it, it had 37 inch Super Swampers. Back then they were impossible to balance. Saved the money and bought a Ground Hogg knock off. I think they were called 'RVT"
