Well after the MEB round up my wife and I were both excited to get another Bronco for trail only or just for her (only time will tell).
I started poking around the web and found a local 74 that is mostly stock. It spent most of its live in central Texas so the rust is very light for a Bronco.
The floor pans were replaced but I will have to cut them out and redo them. Someone did a major hack job and seam welded flat metal in.
She has the following:
Ranger package Wagon with no mods
original paint still on
power steering
manual 4 wheel drum
J shift D20
V8 302 that runs
3 speed manual
Uncut 1/4's
Uncut dash with original radio
Solid bed, rockers, pillars, strikers, quarters doors, cowl
Now the down side:
minor front passenger side accident shows the core support pushed in 1.5 inches.
Inner fender behind the core support is bent.
Passenger rocker has big dent.
Passenger 1/4 has small dent but tail lite metal may need to be replaced from the tire carrier being hit and pushing in the metal.
Tailgate is solid as a rock but has two big dents on the lower side.
Passengers door has a couple dents.
needs new passenger finder.
Small rust out on the back of the drivers pillar.
rear seat missing
I paid $750.
Can anyone tell me any up or down sides to a 74? I wanted another 77 but a clean one is hard to find.
I will post pics when I pick it up tonight.
