I remember that Thread, I pulled all sorts of pictures out of it for my 1st Explorer build...

I totally get it Dave. Now, Can I totally get it?

And if it needs a transfer case, you've got that covered!

It sits safely in her garage now not too far from where I live.

Sorry for your loss(es) BronCowie, glad the Bronco stayed in the family. Man the only time my garages have been that clean was before I moved in!

Thank you 1st!... That garage looks like that because this is just before they were moving in.

oh..well..just trying to help Bax out since he seems to have ended up with a LOT of transfer cases somehow.

I like my transfer cases. I got them stacked in rows. We got a T shift row, a J row and c4 row. Then we got a " I don't think this rusted shit will even come apart" row / pile

Kind of a swap here. Money and indoor storage for a new boat. I’ve always bought used toys and resurrected and maintained them. My brother and I are lusting after a brand new boat for our retirement. Both of us are to painful to crawl under greasy vehicles.

don't blame ya.. old age and issues suck sometimes

Been watching the BaT auctions. https://bringatrailer.com/ford/bronco-u13-u14-u15-1966-1977/

Amazing what they are paying. In the past, it seemed that the value in was in maintaining originality. Now the premium seems to be with modified rebuilds.

Maybe some of those that I had stored in pine straw?

Hell I can't believe how many are currently listed (6) is that normal?

I totally understand your thoughts on selling. I am fortunate to be a little younger and in pretty good health but just recently thinned my bronco heard and parts. Sold my 1970 to a fellow member, and sold off most of my parts to another member. I realized I just didnt have the time, space or passion I used to have. Knew someone else would get more use out of it than me. I didnt sell them for the money it was more a mental thing. I kept my 67 just because it has been such a major part of my life for the last nearly 20 years and unless I really need the money or I find something else I have to have. I just want to spend the most time with my son and that means fishing, not laying under the bronco!

As for pricing your rig... that is hard to say just a solid rust free body with nothing else can bring some serious money. Considering everything else you have I would say in the high $20s . If it were all together and running in the high 30s. I would suggest putting a solid list together of what you have, what has been done and a few good pictures and list in on here with a high number on it. Then let the people that are interested in a project like that chime in. It may be just what someone is looking for.
