I usually dont have time to hit the forums too often
but car stuff (and truck) are in my blood and my business has
been revolving around it for over 25 yrs.
In high school my buddy and his brother both had Gen 1 Broncos..
(back in the 80s, yes..) and we had alot of fun tooling around
Tucson in those things.
Now I buy, fix up and restore cars I use to drive around and play
with as a kid, and my shop also sells accessories for newer cars
and trucks.
I found and bought a 72 Bronco that I use to see driving around
town alot back in the 80s. It was off the road thru most of the 90s
and put back on the road in aprox 09..temp off and on till 13.
I bought the other day hoping to get it back on the road and
for now till we move it on .
Its still wearing its original paint (chrome yellow ?) and its running
pretty well thus far. Most of the trends and mods from the 80s are
still on the vehicle too. V8 truck, 3 spd on the floor (conversion) .
Luckily being a Az truck, there is pretty much no rust on the body etc.
but its far from being restored. It even still has a Kraco cassette player
in the dash haha. Im considering getting a Marti Report on it to see
how the numbers come out on it too.
Hope you guys like seeing it at least knowing its being resurrected and
put back on the road soon.

Yes! We're loving it! Keep us updated and show us more pictures. Chrome yellow is a great color.

the corner Quik Trip for some gas and a drink..its been 20 yrs
