Hey all, looking at possibly buying my first Bronco. It is '68 model, has a 6 cylinder, decent paint job and a snow plow on it. My buddy's dad owns the Bronco and I know it runs well enough for him to use in the winter to plow his roads and just tinker with...but I am not sure if it can be driven daily or not. I am supposed to go look at it this weekend and can report back more about the condition.
Anyhow he is asking around $1500 for it, and assuming it's not a rust bucket I was curious if this was a good deal. Right now I have an '04 Jeep Wrangler I want to sell and use this '68 as my daily driver. Not sure if that is really feasible or not but hoping so. While driving it, I'd like to build a 302 and do a swap out later on but not sure how hard that would be as I am not a mechanic by trade but I have a few buddies that do that type of work that can probably help me.
Later on I will buy a truck as a daily driver and retire this to a weekend and recreational vehicle to go muddin' and crawlin rocks. I have always loved the looks of these old Broncos and was thinking it would be a great way to get started but I really don't know much about the +/-'s of the different years and what not.
Any advice is welcome. Thanks!![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
