Second Chance Project?

This Bronco has had a long road. It was painted probably 5-6 years ago and sat in a shop in Walla Walla because the kid couldn’t afford to get it out. A friend of mine covered the bill and inherited the Bronco. He was going to build it with his brother, but his brother passed away. He called me and I bought it. Short time later I was raising funds for a project and sold it to another friend where it then sat outside for 2 years (Didn’t hurt it that much, but didn’t do it any favors either). Then recently my buddy called me and asked if I wanted to buy it back. And that’s just its history in the last 6 years.

I haven’t really decided what I am going to do with it yet. Possibly a ½ cab project? What you see is what it came with, so it needs a ton of stuff.

Looks like a perfect foundation.
Hell, a rust free body is 70% of the battle (around here at least).

You do need a bunch of parts, but as long as you like white, you are good to go on paint and body. Does it have a running drive train?

I have a 302, NP 435 with adapter, F150 PS box, and it already has a 44 with disc brakes. Now I will probably look for a parts truck for all the misc. stuff.

Thats sweet Kyle, looks like an excellent start to a project. You have quite the knack for finding some sweet deals. You looking to work on this one at that class? I will get you the details for when it starts, etc. I need to get the future pink one running so I can take it to the class and do the paint and body.

Nice looking start.

I am kinda partial to white myself.;D I had to add some black pin striping down the beltline and around the raised part of the hood to make the lines stand out.

I don't mind white so it will probably just stay that color. I tend to easily get distracted on projects so it is hard to tell what direction this one will go.
