Louisiana Broncos

[Lmfp]

Of course, the best part of the trip for me was finding out just how far you can coast from the top of the Mississippi River Bridge when your accelerator pedal disconnects from the throttle. Good times![/QUOTE]

That sounds like a blast!!! Gotta live 40 yr old vehicles. ;D

Yeah it was rough to see. If I ever win the Lotto I'm going to buy them all and restore them just to give me something to do after I go throw my hard hat and coveralls over the fence at work.

True. But I'd rather see them rusting away in a pasture than as a chinese toaster.

Were there some salvageable gear? Or had rust and other folks taken it toll?

Body parts... Not really. Rust had won most of that. There was a decent 66 dash one of the guys pointed out. Had small dents in it but could be salvaged.

He had a lot of drivetrain/ little parts that were still good. And when I was talking to him while the other guys were doing pictures I got the impression that he had good parts he had pulled off in one of his sheds there.

I may get in touch with him about that frame he had sitting there. I may use that to put my body on for the body work so I can be doing all my other work to my frame.

That half cab looks rusted enough that it may actually be a U14 on the frame-rail. The top looks old enough to be the original. If he would part with the frame for cheap enough, and the frame is not too far gone, it may be a good base to start a U14 build.

 

[Pa PITT]

That was such a cool thread I went back and read it twice..

 

[NGABronco]

What did the "Graveyard Owner" think about ya'll's slick looking EB's????;D;D

I'm from West Monroe originally. I live in Lafayette now for work. But go up there on my days off. That's where my bronco stays. I used to work for 4WD Specialist up ther in WM. I'm sure I might have seen your rolling around before.
