[okie4570]

So within a couple of weeks, a 67' military and a 68' u13.............if your trend continues, what could possibly be next!

I'm guessing he will drag home a early 71 Stroppe, the Green Acres Bronco, or the Shelby Bronco. That's the only thing I can't think of that could trump what Jimmy already has.

I highly doubt it, but if it happens I won't complain!

Whats funny is, earlier this year I said I wasn't buying another unless it was something rare/unusual. I've had better luck finding those than the more common ones. ?:?

The '68 U13 isn't mine though, it belongs to Dad. I bought my '66 U13 back in July, and he thought it would be neat for us both to have U13s. Who wouldve thought I'd find him a '68.

Can you find me a '68 (U13 that is)?;D

I doubt I ever find another. But who knows. ?:?

How many 68' u13's are owned by members here? 4 or 5 that I can think of?

4 or 5 that I know of too.

Dad just bought a '75 parts truck last week, that by miracle happened to have an older steering wheel with a '67 horn button! So lets just say the button made it's way to the '67. ;D

I went ahead and replaced the fuel line with a new one that we already had. Someone had zip tied a copper line in.

List of things to do -

*New Exhaust
*Recover Seats
*Finish Brake Job
*Pressure Wash Undercarriage
*Clean & Detail Inside And Engine Bay
*Front Bumper

Hopefully I can get all of that done fairly quick, then focus more on others.

Got the Marti...

So... Is that 590 military Broncos?...or 872?

 

[JGbronc]

So... Is that 590 military Broncos?...or 872?

From what I've gathered, that is 590 government DSO orders. Which means if TVA or other government agencies ordered them, it counts toward that number. From the research I've done, it seems that Ford built 120 Broncos for military use.

The 872 is just for special order paint codes.

Got the new exhaust kit from Shelton Manufacturing installed. I went with the original stock system. I highly recommend this kit for a stock restoration/replacement. Went together easy, looks great, and is top notch quality. A great improvement over the previous setup.

Now for the next upgrade, interior. I'm a little torn on what to do. I want the factory rosette pattern in the seat covers, but so far I have only found the fronts with the correct pattern. Have yet to find ones for the rear. So I need to decide whether to put a rear seat back in it or leave it out. ?:?

Leave it out but keep lookin

I think the covers they sell do not have the rosette inset. I do need to call and verify that.
