Looks great, hard to believe the transformation from before your paint to after. Hang in there, if it didn't hurt once in awhile it wouldn't be a bronco....

Looks great, but those HID looking headlights really look out of place on a vintage truck. I am not knocking it (your bronco is beautiful!!!) they just really stand out and I had never had the opportunity to see them installed on a stocker. Maybe they are stock headlights and its the angle of the picture, shadows, and overcast?

And I didn't even have photos of it when I first got it! Floorboard rusted straight through because that original rubber mat was still on it. A board over a hole so the passenger's feet didn't hit the pavement. Broken steering column. Headliner soaked through in yellow cigarette smoke. Cracked upholstery. Holes in the exhaust line kept the cabin full of smelly exhaust. The good ole days.

It deserved some TLC. These cars are too awesome to be left to rot away.

Yes, they are LED headlights. I drive a lot at night (and almost maimed a cow last year) so I really needed to upgrade the headlights. And it's defiantly not restored to stock. It's been converted to an automatic transmission, swapped the 289 to 302 (which wasn't available in the 68 I think). I'm going to build a wet canvas holder to install in the interior...it'll be perfect :cool:

Great photos! That first one looks like the cover shot from a Ford dealer Bronco brochure.

That is a great photo! Once they fix your rusty floors hopefully that will be it. :)
