Tim and I have been talking about this for some time now and it just so happends that he was contacted by someone else that is interested in broncos and has the ability to write a book. He is lacking alot of the knowledge of the bronco and is looking for input. He has the ability to take the information and make it flow so it is just not some boring old book to read. I know there are more than enough people on this site (Todd Z, Terry Marvel, Andrew Norton, Tom Carper, Tim Hulick, the Perionies, Jeff Trapp, Carl Bradley, etc. etc.) and a few lurcking in the shadows that are not online, to help put this thing together. I really think the book would have to cover all broncos from 1966-1996 to help draw enough interest to make it marketable. Basicly if enough books are not going to be sold then it more than likely will not happen.
The book sounds like it is going to be more on the history of the truck (models, production numbers, options, changes over the years, race history such as the bajas and the Doug Nash bronco) and not a "how to book" (how to put a lift kit on your truck or go from a I6 to a V8). It is going to include how the trucks have been cutomized over the years for different uses such as work trucks (fire trucks, tow trucks, plow trucks etc.) rock crawling, mud bogging, sand hill climbing, monster trucks, and just plain old bad ass custome broncos. It would be nice if the book would be a hard cover with the nice gloss pages inside (like the Ford truck chronicle book) and have the larger print in it. Make it a nice coffee table book. I know it would cost more but I think it would be worth it. I know alot of us here have a ton of old pics, posters, articles, ads and info and alot of it is rare and most people have not seen it. It would be nice to have some of those special items in the book.
Please give us all of your feedback (good or bad) so it can be relaid to the future authur of the book. I hope this happens. I think it could be a cool peice of bronco history.
Thanks
