This is the earliest pic I have of my '72. It's from my first trip to Moab in 1993. I cut the rear fenders the night before we left on the trip! Didn't even get flares installed. Check out that monster flex!!:eek: ;D

Hay it's Bronco hunting season....divvy up all you old info and we'll put the hounds on the trail...you never know....It might be in town....;)

This is all the info I have on her, 1975 red and white with tan houndstooth seats. Cut dash with a radio in it. Didn't have the tire carrier on it. Sold it to a guy in Nashville about 1993 or 94. I emailed Tennessee DMV they only keep records for 6 year, sold it about 20 years ago.

I currently don't have the pics of my first Bronco. It was a red 73 sport. Bought it in 91 from my Dad. Fixed the trans (c-4) and drove it til there wasn't much left (it had been a field truck for a farmer for years before Dad bought it). Sold it in 2003 after the trans went out. My wife at the time hated that Bronco. I sure do miss her, that Bronco not the ex :eek:

I still have the T shift dana 20 out of it and the power steering box.

I purchased my first Bronco during the summer of 1978. It was a 77 Ranger with cut fenders and 31" mudders on ET slots.:cool: I only owned it for 18 months or so. I owned three vehicles at the time and for some reason I thought I needed a Corvette.%) So I sold all three, the Bronco, a 67 GTO and a 73 Grand Prix SJ. Wish I would have kept the GTO as well. Anyway it wasn't long after selling the Bronco that I relized how much I liked it. As soon as I had the Vette pay off I purchased my second Bronco.:cool:

Here are the only pic's I have of that 77.

Pictures of my '76 Explorer in '83 when my neighbor owned it, and then in the early '90's, after I had owned it for a year or two. And, finally, the way it is now: original paint with a built 302 and and AOD trans.

My old '77 Ranger. Traded my Dad for my '76. He sold it a while later. I kinda miss it, but I'm glad to have my '76 since it was part of the family first.
