You guys are all floating, I am sure. i wish I was closer to lend a hand with the replacement Bronco! What comes around, goes around and in this case, it is a lot of positive gestures! Congrats all around, and enjoy!

Man, what a find. All solid too; totally jealous!

Godspeed to your hubby's travels back to Montana.

P.S. this sounds like a story very worthy of Bronco Driver!

Val and Brad, congrats on pulling this off. I would be hard-pressed to sell mine to anyone, but after reading this, no question I would give it up in a similar situation.

Thanks for the inspiration! ;D

I have really enjoyed reading this thread. Val you and your hubby found a needle in a haystack.... and then to find a guy like Brad to work with you.... gets me a little choked up! Way to go!

On a more personal note I was not one of the fortunate ones who grew up with Broncos... but if it wasn't for my father I would not have the Bronco I have.....

My father passed in 1990 and left my sister and I around @10k a piece. My sister went and bought a 21' Sea-ray boat and I bought this junked out 1973 Ford Bronco. I spent 9 months doing a frame off restore and all along when the going got tough working with vendors, finding hard to find parts, blood, sweat and tears all I could hear in the back of my mind (from my father) FINISH WHAT YOU START!

I have had that Bronco now for 21 years and have been able to share it's adventures with my kids, family and friends. I think of my father often when on my adventures and wish he was still on this earth.

I applaud your effort Val to pull those memories back and make new ones!

I asked this question once before but it was too early to ask Brad....does the Bronco still have the cool custom striped bikini top and rear cover from the old pics???

Motoman, that's a great story and a certainly something to live by! Glad to hear you never parted with the bronco. The memories are PRICELESS and dad is watching

I asked this question once before but it was too early to ask Brad....does the Bronco still have the cool custom striped bikini top and rear cover from the old pics???

Bronco Junkie I was as anxious as you to ask that question. I finally asked Brad about it on last Saturday when we first spoke, and unfortunately it is not available. He said it wasn't in the bronco when he acquired it. I'm a little dissappointed, but not surprised as that was a long time ago. One of my first orders of business is to have another custom made. At least that's the plan.

That's what old cars are ALL about right there! The memories!!

xxx2, aint that the truth!

yes sir and if Brad needs help getting it across country i will try and help in what ever way i can

Skiddy, that's super generous of you. I just spoke with Brad's wife Erin (sp?), the bronco is loaded and they're all out for Tex Mex! I told Erin that we on CB were all working on getting Brad into a new rig. She said he's super excited about that!

 

[half cab]

A-TEAM....."I love it when a plan comes together"....right on....

 

[Bronco Junkie]

That's too bad about the custom top...but it has been awhile. That would have been the cherry on top of a really big sundae!! Cool that you have plans to replace it....total 70's. I love it!
