Trying to find my Dad's 1970 Bronco U15GLH78922 (photos) UPDATE

[C O D Y]

I'm trying to locate my Dad's old 1970 Bronco. I grew up with the truck and learn how to drive on it (3 speed on the column). The VIN is U15GLH78922 and it was last seen in the Seattle area about 20 years ago.

Here's some photos from the early / mid 70's of the truck. It was factory Red (white top) 302 with a 3 speed and dual tanks. It would mean the world to my dad and I if we could find it. My number is 360-772-5555 if anyone has any leads.

Hey C O D Y, welcome too!
Those are great stories with a lot of good reading. JG's is even still "pending" sort of.

Good luck finding your old one. It can happen. Lots of people will keep their eyes open for you. But you'll likely have to do some serious digging as well.

Welcome to CB CODY. Good luck on your search. It's lucky you still have the VIN, that helps a lot. Great photos, hope you can find it. My dad passed away before I started the search for mine/his. I'd give anything for him to have known that I'd found it. Cheers!

Found a similar Bronco for my dad. It's a 1970 Red with white 3 speed on the column 302 with dual tanks.

I gave it to him on Friday and he was speechless. I'm sure we'll be checking in to this site more often.

That is awesome! Very nice looking Bronco, and very nice of you to do that!

That is one Happy son and Father moment.

Now go make more memories with your dad.

My dad was a big Bronco kind of guy and after he pass away his wife at the time told me did I want it and I said no. But now wish I would have said yes. But I am sure it is still sitting there under the tree rottening.

Nice find, was that at PIR swapmeet? Didn't get to go this year. I could see my son doing that for me. Good Times.

Yes sir, bought it at the swap meet. I might not have gotten the best deal, but I was happy to buy it.

He stopped by today and we worked on a few small things on his Bronco. He was still beaming with excitement.
