Picked up a new one -- confiscated by spouse

[coachbarnes]

Well, I scored this little '76 yesterday with the intention of building it as sort of a "counter" to my Rajin Cajun. I wanted to build a nice trail rig, lifted/cut/topless. It was going to pain me to cut it up because it's so much nicer than I thought it would be when I called about it. But when I got it home, my wife came out to see it and immediately ruled -- "you are NOT going to cut that Bronco!". Later that night, she asked "would you consider just restoring it to original and letting me have it?" HOLY CRAP! I'm screwed!

 

[73stallion]

well that one's fate is set, at least it's not gonna get cut!

If you are going to restore it contact BLUE71 he has a complete green Ranger interior that is in mint condition that he was talking about selling.

 

[deltarat]

Sounds like you are still looking for a trail rig.

She's right - that one is too nice to cut up! Especially a nice green Ranger package. You don't see too many in green. Most of the Rangers that have survived seem to be the brown ones (Ginger Metallic or Sequoia Brown). Good find!

 

[therd1]

never thought I'd say it, but the wife is right

you're a lucky man!!

 

[cody72sport]

we've got a green ranger too, too bad it was rusted to swiss cheese

 

[fatboy]

Nice find.

 

[Mark]

Looks great!
Yeah, nice stock ones like that should be saved.

 

[tcjones76]

Nice find.

The 76 or the wife? Both I think! You have to respect a women that has an clear opinion on whether or not to cut a clean stock Bronco.

 

[mhandy]

I have to agree with the wife on this one. too nice to cut up

 

[NicksTrix]

nice find, one could really build a sweet truck out of that. i can see your sweat pea cruising around in a nice modernized version. the possibilities are endless.....hmmm

 

[mp]

Nice addition to the stable, Scott. I like how your wife thinks...keep it uncut and stock!

 

[stout22]

Sounds like her mind is made up - good for her!
Congratulations on a great find - both the wife and Bronco.;D

 

[Heus33]

Awesome - but just how "original" will it be? I like Nicks idea of modernizing it a bit. This way you wont have to worry about every fastener being correct and every part being just right.

I say modernize it with EFI and a mild lift, AC and some pizza cutters!

Glad your wife was correct for once !!
