Hello!

Congrats! Post up some pics when you get a chance.

You originally from Indian Land? I live down the road in Rock Hill but grew up in IL/FM.

Jtoney is up your way in Gaffney. He’s a good guy to know up there.

Got my Marti report back...appears to be a base model in Ginger Glow Piant with parchment rosette bucket and rear seats...sold to a dealer in Cinnicinatt OH which is about 5 hrs from where I found it. Anybody know anybody who has restored an EB back to Ginger Glow? I want to go back original..but this is going to be tough.. lol...I guess it was a special order color?

Can't say that I've ever seen one that color. If it were a special order color, your F color code would have been blank, you would have had a 6 digit DSO, and Marti wouldn't have known the color either.

 

[sccritterkiller]

Yeah think has something to do with the color.lol
Special color may have been the incorrect term. The 1975 paint chip form for Ford trucks I found said optional at special cost. Sorry for the confusion, still working on my Bronco speak.

Well it's home.....if not current on your tetanus shots I wouldn't look too long at the pic. Be a while before I can tear into it...got some projects around the house to finish first. Tub is shot but frame and rest of the chassis is decent.

Haven't given an update in a while between hunting and tearing down the Bronco been busy. Had few spare minutes today as I am waiting on the frame to get back from PC. Had the frame and axels blasted. Frame went to PC and I will paint the axels after I get them rebuilt. Got a coat of primer on them for now. Small steps but they are in the right direction.
Next step will be rebuilding axels and converting to disc brakes, then I will install the suspension and get it to back to rolling chassis. Currently looking for coyote and 6 spd trans.

Welcome back..

now get that thing going

Well the cheap fun stuff, tear down, is complete. Frame turned out like I had hoped, I did a satin PC finish on my YJ frame as well. I can build from this although my wallet is not going to like it. Getting my parts order together to rebuild my axels this week. It is nice to be at the putting things back together stage!

What are the odds of two bronco owners building YJs in the same state? I have a 91 I’m fixing up along with my 77.

My Jeep build had been finished for a couple years. PM me if you run to any issues or have any questions.

Here is a pic after I brought it home...doors and tailgate are inside. Like I said tub was shot, Flintstone floor boards on both sides, half the bed was gone and you can see thru both pillars on each side..good news most everything is on it or in a box in the back. With 62k on the clock other than the suspension it hadn't been messed with much. Gonna order a new tub from Dennis Carpenter, his shop is 45 min from the house, but I got plenty to keep my busy for the next couple years...

 

[sccritterkiller]

Like I had said earlier don't look too close if you are not upto date on your tetanus.

 

[sccritterkiller]

Good news is the D44 is ready for reassembly...parts including disc brake knuckles and spindles are on the way.
