Got it out and cruised a little this weekend...

Looking good brother...

Love the video. I look foward to hearing that in person at the SC.

Oh you will. Trust me, you will. ;D

Started cleaning a little yesterday. Washed and wiped years of dust and dirt away from the inside and engine bay. Not perfect, but good enough for now. Still have to do the undercarriage. I installed new shocks on all 4 corners recently also. It has a different beacon light on top now. Same brand, but better appearance and works better than the old one. Also added 2 OEM fender mount mirror heads with new lenses since the old ones were aftermarket. Original mounts still in place.

Seats will hopefully be back from the upholstery shop tomorrow. Will try to get them in this weekend if I have time. Also plan to install new door seals since these are in terrible shape.

Don't like much being ready for Townsend!

If nothing catastrophic happens, I will! ;D

Got the new door seals on. Wish I would have waited and bought a set of softer ones. Now you have to slam the doors to close the gap. %)

But, at least the old rotten and crumbled ones are off. New ones do look better.

Got the seats back in, I'm in the home stretch now!

 

[NGABronco]

No way! I gladly paid someone else to do them. They ain't perfect, but I'm sure they are better than what I would've done.

We have a couple sets of fronts that still need to be done. You want to tackle them? ;D

That looks great Jimmy! The upholstery guy south of you?..ie closer to me?

Was definitely worth the wait.

Albertville, so about halfway in between us.

 

[JGbronc]

Well, I think I'm finally done cleaning!

She is almost ready to go. Decided to replace the battery tray before the trip, and I need to put the skid plate back on the rear tank. But neither will stop it from going!

 

[JGbronc]

She's all ready now!

Glad you are bringing it! There was just one in between them on the assembly line.

That thing is clean! Can't wait to see it in person!

 

[Phoneman]

Yeah. Mine is far from stock military now but someone had bastardized it long ago and cut fenders so since it wasnt original i made it how i wanted. That ol straight six purrs though

It's not perfect, but I've never owned one that was. ;D

It is a solid old truck though.

It looks great now! I liked it when Lane had it too. Solid!

Same here, definitely a true gem of a find! Everything from the govt paint still in place, the stickers, markings, lettering and hard top straps on the inside for grab handles......very awesome bronco Jimmy!
