Barn find - well actually it was a hay shed - pics added

[stout22]

I picked up a green 73 this past weekend.
It has all the goodies from a 76-77 - PS, PDB, Auto plus a 351W ;D
Running on 33" leaky tires with 10" wheels %)
It had been owned by the same guy for the past 20+ years.
Realatively rust free and very straight.

Unfortunately I had shoulder surgery yesterday so any upgrades or repairs are on hold for a while.

Because all the barns in California were bought by yuppie A-holes that wanted to have a quaint rural retreat. then they turned them into guest houses%)

Sweet score on the Bronco.

Great find. What are your plans for it?

It looks like the first thing I've got to figure out is a bad trany leak. Could be as simple as a loose line. Trany runs out good - shifts good.
I couldn't crawl under it like I usually do because of my shoulder.
I've got to fix some rot - driver's floor pan and a couple of other small spots.
All the primer is just surface rust.
It has the original rubber floor mat that I will have to tear out to be sure about the rest of the floor.

Oh there are barns around where I live just no broncos in them! The cows are happy because the weather is so nice they dont have to live in barns!

Yeah, most of the barns have turned (or morphed, as we like to say out here) into tourist attractions where mommy tellls little Timmy that she thinks that's where they used to keep cows back east and grandpa kept his still.
