I am looking at an early bronco that had the pans, sills and post replaced. Should I be concerned with any of this work? Does it look okay?

Looking at the bed, I would take a real close look at the frame.

I see you have been looking since 2015, but I would not call this "clean".

Thanks for the reply. Shorty after I made the 2015 post I found a deal on an FJ40 I could not pass up. I restored the FJ40 and enjoyed that but have my heart set on an early Bronco. The frame looks good from pictures I received but an in person inspection will be made to verify. I was hoping to get some feedback from the Bronco experts to determine if the work that has been completed looks okay before I pursue it any further since it is a good distance from me.

Any feedback on the existing work is much appreciated.

It's definitely not the most professional job I have seen, but I am the one who replaced those panels, so I guess I can say that :)

No rust under the bed frame, it had a bulkhead that trapped the moisture and rusted out that seam.

I think you called me earlier, I am working till this evening, feel free to give me a call if you have any other questions.
