Hit my local yard this morning. I need a wiring harness from right side firewall to front , some brown arm rests, and a couple of odds and ends. Man, I found arm rests in every color but brown ( tan ) . I found blue ones, grey ones , red ones, and some really light tan ones but no dark tan :( . Picked up some cherry window cranks and door cups though. No wiring harness either. :( , guess I'm going to have to fix mine.

You guys would have been proud of me. They had cars / trucks stacked up to crush ( THREE HIGH ) and I climbed to the top of the pile to check a van for armrests but they were light tan. I took them anyway because I was up there ;D .

All three early Broncos are pretyy much picked clean thanks to me ;D . Hey Ken75ranger, if you want that steering box you better go get it. Those Broncos are looking pretty tempting to the crusher right now. :)

2Bad,

Did you happen to gobble up any EXTRA arm rests?

One of my rear ones has a tear in it. I think that color doesn't matter, as I have the SEM plastic painting kit and it will pretty much cover any old color.

Thanks!

Hey 2Bad,
I have a set of medium Brown ones from an '72 Bronco Explorer /Sport. I am using them on my '74 now, but you are welcome to them if the color is right, or I'll trade you. Let me see if I can get a picture for you and you can let me know on the color. They are almost perfect, but you be the judge. No cracks or tears . Let me know.

I can't believe you climbed to the top of the heap! Cool. I might make a trip over next Saturday.

Weps, It is hard to tell what color Andy's seats are. The first pic has a black cover on the seat. The second pic the seat looks light tan. If the seats are light tan, the armrests I bought today would match good. I'm waiting to hear back from Andy.

2bad - Where is this hidden bronco parts stash of yours? Sounds like a target rich environment. The local u pull it yard down here has 5 or 6 big broncos, but no EBs.

Your not going to tell us are you?:'(

I can tell you no problem. I SHARE ! There are four early broncos allof them ROTTEN to the ground. They have a few big 77 - 78 ;s with disc brakes. They have a couple of six cylinder power steering set ups. Few old cars, few new cars, few trucks, lots of mud. It is one of those places that will let you carry your little tool boxes in and spend the day.

Williams Auto Parts - Aquaduct Rd - Schenectady N.Y.

dial your information and ask for the phone number it is 518 area code :) Thats as much sharing as I'm going to do :) :)
