I totally understand where you are coming from but what I am referring to is panels that are not even close. I have bought repair Tin from places like cross canada parts that was bought by keystone now LKQ and they were horrid! I got some rockers for a Comanche and they were so far wrong I had to remake the entire lower section. I know I have a large task at hand with this bronco as the drivers side was missing tons of tin when I bought it so it's going to be tons of measuring and jigging the body to get it back to own specs.

That being said does anyone have one of the schematics on the body that collision shops use to make sure the body is back to spec?

3=Swiss Aqua (first one I've seen :) )

9=Parchment Rosette bench is what my Marti says for my 71', I know the previous owner put the back seat in and drilled the holes himself. But I've also been told that the 9 meant something else too.

Hey Jenssen...I had a moment of panic when I saw the "Bucks Auto" sign in the background...thought I'd missed one up here in Sherwood Park! Nice find...guy to talk to In Calgary is Jeff Pilon...he's out in the west end/Bowness area and has a ton of parts piled high in his garage...super nice guy to deal with and extremely knowledgeable! Right now the dollar is killing us for sheet metal, but consensus seems to be Dennis Carpenter out of the States is the shop to deal with.

I used to have this saved but cannot find it now. Several people have it on here so post a new thread with that in the heading of the thread topic someone with it will chime in.

I don't know about "clean" but it is complete anyhow. Pic is when I first picked it up. Plan on going through mechanical stuff and just running it with the dents and patina, came off a cattle ranch and only has 72k on it.

I think it's neat that yours appears to also be a standard model with the top chrome, looks like you got the chrome drip rail and windshield chrome, it's gonna look really good when you get it done!

Not sure that I've seen that pic, I'm all about the uncommon colors :)

I have bought a lot of stuff from Tom's Bronco Parts, and you may want to check out CAPS in Red Deer or Edmonton, they are dealers for Golden leaf which deals with Dynacorn. The guys here in Edmonton are also Dennis Carpenter dealers so you can get all that stuff there also. And your new Bronco is way better than what Im starting with.

Jensen, I have the frame specs for a '67 Bronco. If you send me your email address I'll scan the info and send it to you.
