The caller made it sound like they/you needed/wanted more but it sounds like you are happy. Congrats! That's my dream car
Because it is really a 100k car. We still did well on it.

are the letters on the ford grill correct? Mine were painted black when I bought mine,
I had a look at that 70 yesterday, anybody else notice something wrong with the dash?
Are all those stickers on the air cleaner and engine bay correct?
I've never a power brake bracket like that?
As for the jacking instructions sticker, it depends on the year of the bronco. Mine's a 67 and the instructions on are the rear passenger inside fender.Probably not. As far as I know, the chrome letters only came on Sports, or other upgrade packages, and would have been on an Argent colored grill instead of a white one.
Can't tell if they are red in the centers or not. Kind of look black from this angle. But red would have been correct for the chrome letters. Likely not on that rig though.
Looked funny, but I didn't take the time to look at it. What did you see?
Nope. The air cleaner alone is wrong in all sorts of decal ways. In fact, did EB air cleaners even come with decals at all? Other than the occasional warning or smog decal of course.
And even if so, the curved "302" one would have been outermost and the "Ford" one not at all, or at least inboard. And certainly not twice.
There were lots of decals on the driver's fender, but I never noticed whether there was any consistency to their install. Mostly I remember jacking instructions and maybe one or two others along those lines.
Same for the dashboard and sun visor. Now and then there was a decal explaining how to shift the transfer case, or how to change a tire. Or how to use the PTO winch and such.
Doesn't look like any of that in the pic, but most non-EB folk would just think it looks good and not be aware that it's not original.
Not until they get busy here on classic that is! ;D
Now that's one funky bracket! Kind of intriguing though. Wonder if it's custom or off of some type of factory install?
Be interesting to find out. But a lot of these auction Broncos seem to have a mishmash of parts. Probably best bang-for-the-buck that way if you're the builder I would think. Use what you can get quick-n-easy, or cheap, or have laying around that will work.
As long as it works, looks ok to someone not versed in the finer details, then it just enhances the value to the new owner and the profit to the builder. Win win.

So, you guys that come to the auctions... You really, really need to to pm or call me.
Now that that cat is out of the bag, I have to stay out of the politics forum and watch my manners..
The 70 is missing the heater controls from the dash. When I looked further all of the heater parts were not under the dash.
So, you guys that come to the auctions... You really, really need to to pm or call me.

The "Salmon" color of the Roadster didn't do much for me, but looked like someone put some work into it.
