Well, I've just recently (starting last week) been able to get back here (iPhone decided to take a dive and AT&T/apple take forever)
But basically was able to finally get my 77 bronco, completely, home (first time I could only grab the interior, trim, lenses, keys, title, etc etc i had my car dolly and I didn't feel safe hauling my EB that way so I was able to replace the hub on my trailer) long story long-
Anyway, so this 77 is a PS, PB (disc brakes up front), 302, Dana 30 front, 9" rear, 3spd on the tree model, I guess it's a HD? I keep finding 4900 gvw everywhere (U15GLX)
But I found out I'm the 5th owner, gauge shows less than 50k miles (or maybe 150k?) this EB spent along time in storage when one owner pulled the entire interior and had it all redone at an upholstery shop so it's all brand new still, and its redone in saddle or parchment.
Overall the truck is in good condition, looks like ill be replacing the passenger side fender, maybe the hood(?) found a dab of body filler on the top front (?) and maybe a grill once I sand down the bottom front edge and figure out why body filler was put there (?)
But good news, I found a TON of original paperwork in the glove box including;
Bill of sale receipt from Hammond Motors Ford in LA on 1-21-77 and this EB $6160 with 6 miles on the odo.
Even found the orig BF Goodrich tire brochure etc
Id say at some point it had a lift kit installed since its wearing 31" tires now and looks like plenty of room for more rubber since the fenders were cut. I'm not a fan of the front bumper though or the camo and white paint.
Ill need to replace the drivers and passenger foot well area and the back bed area at each corner, the top looks great and the original white paint is still shiny inside, but the top is going bye-bye.
