Off Road's "Mark Rose" Bronco

[sffan15]

I'll get some more pics of the mirrors and see if I can find a part number for sure.

So the carb is really bad? What would I notice, performance wise, when keeping it? Obviously I'm focusing first on getting the truck running, but then I'll make a "wish list" and the carb should probably be first.

Regarding the aluminum lower fender covers, there's no swiss cheese that I can see under neath. Appears they were just added for style. That was one thing I was worried about, since that's usually what these are used for.

Got the truck running today. Was very excited in the video. Ran it around the block about 5 times, couldn't wipe the grin off my face.

Sound in the video isn't so good, sorry

First start: http://youtu.be/I4E8CBPI-zM

First drive: http://youtu.be/Kh8nIlOjwxQ

Will get more pictures of the mirrors tomorrow morning.

I remember those articles. It was like christmas when they came in the mail. It is cool that you are bringing it back to life.

Congrats on the first drive. A nice piece of history you have there!

Thanks for posting the articles Todd, great read.

Regarding the motor article, a few things have been changed on the truck since. For instance, there's now an automatic transmission in it. Also, the carb mentioned in the article has been changed. The shocks all appear to be exactly as mentioned, as is the exhaust and fuel delivery.

Interesting for sure. I hope I find more issues showing the mods.

And here are some pics of the truck that I took at the SCORE off road show in Anaheim in 1993.
