Bought another Bronco. This has become a sickness.

Bukin 67, neither gets good gas mileage!

I don't know about yours but my Bronco gets several miles per gallon better than my Raptor. Sad but true.:-[

The Raptor drinks the gas.

@ xfalcon, this one is REALLY nice. I don't think I could bring myself to cut this one. Every body panel on it is original (that I can see). I can't believe how nice the inside is. I also researched the NV4500 transmission today. WOW! He just installed it 12k ago. Bought the whole conversion kit from Tom's bronco. Might be sticking with that one. This is what I have in mind right now:

(of course everything is subject to change...)

Got a little more wax on it today. Couldn't be happier with how it is turning out. A little before and after.

Cleaned up real nice!

It's not a sickness when you snag gems like that....congrats

Man, it's looking great! I've used a Meguiers #2 fine cut cleaner, #7 Polish, and finally a carnuba wax. All by hand and it turns out great.

Too funny, I pm'd him almost the exact same combination!

Thanks Andrew and Mike for the great tips. It will eventually be repainted but its nice to get it looking good with its current paint.

I just found the original window sticker/options list as well as the original owners service manual, owner card and original registration card! The registration looks like it lists this as a 1971, not a 1970? I wish there were prices on the window sticker!

A little elbow grease goes a long way. Looking sharp, good work.

 

[xfalcon]

How about a side by side with Both your Rigs, when you have a chance

xfalcon, I should have my other bronco back in the next month (fingers crossed!). Just checked the title, this is a '71, not a '70.

 

[xfalcon]

oh is it at West Coast? thought it was finished. what all they finishing up?

You would think the PO would have checked the year Right?

 

[drock]

You're right, it already looks like a completely different rig with just the wax and losing the big white bumpers. Looks great.

 

[spray1963]

Did you sell the protofab bumpers? If not, i'm interested.

Thanks
Scott

Bumpers sold right away. The PO thought it was a D30 front axle. I think it is as well. If not, bonus! I'll have to look when I get home today. If so, I'm going to switch it to a 44.
