Thought this would be better appreciated on CB than social media. Shared from Dan Karp

Good shot of some Early Bronco History here:

Funny how old guys hike up their pants. Any higher and he's going to choke! HA!

Cool photo, love to see shops with an assortment of EBs.

Hopefully, you will be around in your early 80's to hike up your pants, have run the Baja 1000, sell bronco parts nation wide for many years, build top loader 4speeds, 7000 rpm hipo 289s- and raise a family.

Smart Ass- you should have a little more respect for older folks you obviously are not familiar with.

Great Pic.

Good Men.

KbarS was my first vendor order. Always loved that Bronco right behind them

Great pic man, lots of good history there.

That looks like their early shop in Vegas. I met Mr Karp there once just before they moved to their new shop out in north Vegas and soon after his daughter Patty and husband Ken bought the business.
Cool picture that was a great shop in the day!

That's Hal's shop in Yuma, AZ. That truck behind them, of course, is an iconic truck in our little world. I got to sit in it 30 years ago - still remember it well!

Great men.

I love to have any one of those trucks in that shop. Even the one with the hood spray painted black.

Damn that's cool. I'm sure they've forgotten more about these fine rigs than I'll ever hope to know.

Greatest generation for sure!

 

[Prizefighter]

Another one.

Another one.

Man, that's a calendar shot there!

kb6677: Did you not see the "HA!" I included after my statement. I did not mean to offend anyone in any way. I hope you're the only one I upset and that others saw some humor in it. If not, then I apologize as there was no malicious intent.

All good-what is left of my parents generation in our family are in their 80's and some are in declining health. I guess I am a little "oversensitive" when it comes to our older bronco gurus!

I was fortunate enough to take a "Ghost Town Tour" with Mr. Karp in the 90's when he was in much better health. I also had a top loader 4speed done by him in one of my first Broncos. Much respect for him.

Great photo Karl. A lot of the stuff on my truck came from KbarS. Ithey were the go to guys backin the 80's and early 90's.

 

[Karl's 68]

So cool, K bar S is the place I ordered from in the early 90's.
