I think I have a problem. I bought another Bronco.
I didn't need it, but I like to think it needed me.

Sometimes, I feel like the Bronco whisperer.

I couldn't resist the 1977 "special decor" package or the automatic. Maybe the AT will help convince my wife that we needed it.

NICE. Wish I could/would have found it before you ;D. If your wife don't like it, let me know. I'm sure my wife would like it.

Thats nice don't find many like that. I had a 77 with the same decor group but was blue. I live in the rust belt so it didn't take long for it rust out. Where are you located?

Thanks for the comments.
It's in pretty decent shape. I found it on Craigslist.

The seller owned it since 1989 and was cattle rancher. He put the cow catcher on the front to protect it but included the nice chrome bumper with the little factory bumper guards.

The tube bumper is going for sale soon.

It sold new here in Arizona (Don Sanderson) and has always been in Phoenix/Prescott. I got in it and drove it 60 miles home.

I guess the good news for everyone is that this confirms they are still out there!

Nice looking truck. Clean it up and throw some OG bumpers on it! What did you pay for it? (I won't tell your wife)

Nice lookin rig for sure and the fact that it has been in AZ its whole life is definitely a +! I would bet there is minimal rust at all. Good luck with it. ;D

It's going to get the stock bumper put back on (with guards) and some new tires right away.

3 different kinds, and all dry rotted. Looks like about 20 lbs of pressure too.
Okay for the ranch but it was pretty squirrely on the highway.

There's only about a dime sized rust bubble on the passenger fender apron.
None on the drivers side, floor (that I can see) or tailgate.
