Ran down another innocent bronco owner!

[Crawdad]

I was heading towards my favorite mexican restaurant when all of a sudden this beaut got off the same exit. I was all smiles from ear to ear! At the stoplight the first thing out my mouth was “What year?” in which he replied out his window “74”. I asked where he was going and I followed him to Walmart which was near Monterey’s. His name is David and he is the only owner of this 1974 Bronco Ranger!!!! It was a blessing and it just made my day brighter! Come to find out he knows my dad from his old Air Force days from 80s and 90s. I have a funny idea in my head that this won’t be the last time I see this bronco. After switching each others contact info I told him I want a ride and he said “Come on!” He’s already part of the Bronco Registry but he said he will look into the Classic Bronco website so hopefully he may chime in. Enjoy the pics!

What's up with the foil?

What's up with the foil?

Looks like makeshift insulation for the fuel line to prevent vapor lock. I've seen wood clothing pins used also.

Could be to prevent dry rotting also, I suppose.

I did the same thing yesterday while on vacation - put the stalk on a Bronco and owner. Real nice fellow that is the second owner of a 72 Explorer Sport, uncut, original exterior and interior. He said it has been used for advertising by Wrangler, and Eddie Bauer.
