If you have pictures please post them. It is hard to make an honest estimate or comment on just a description. I've seen many listed with just about the same build and prices can be in the teens to the 50K mark. I hope it is local to you and you can have it looked at by a mechanic and a builder/body guy. Good luck!

There is a handful of Ohio Bronco owners that might be able to go and see it with you in person. PM me your number and I’ll see which one of us is closest to you.

Thanks Jeff

Jeff, might help to know where the Bronco is actually located when recommending someone to look at it. May not be close to Mantua at all. Might be "in your back yard".

I think pictures would really help, but I would definitely get another set of eyes on it if you have a hard time figuring the value.

P.S. I am looking for a non-Budd 66 tub or a 67 tub for a project of mine!

I would want to see pictures of the inside before being Rhino lined. Bed liners can be used to hid issues.

To post pictures the easy way spend $12 to become a contributor.

As mentioned someone local may be willing to go with you to check it out.

You don't say anything about the body. That is the most important part, especially in Ohio

it is nice to know what has been done but what you need to know is what doesnt work or needs to work better. on my 50 year old truck I could list what has been done in my possession and it would be a huge list of modifications and replacing the same parts several times. Don't buy anything without personally checking every inch of it. look in our files for build ups and note all the problems and their common locations. then check out the truck you want to buy. buyer beware. look for socks and sandals for a good screwing.

Welcome aboard and best of luck.. explore every nook and crannie...

Thanks, guys! I might be looking at it this afternoon if I can free up from work. The current owner has owned it for roughly 6 years. I'll snap some pictures today, or whenever I can check it out, and do my best to post them for further analysis.
