Post up pictures of the odd/old stuff you've found in your Bronco from the previous owner.

Today I found an old John F. Kennedy match book wedged behind the dash pad.

Bullets. Most of my friends have found bullets somewhere in their rigs when tearing them down. Mine had a few under the carpet - couple of .22lr and a 30-06 if memory serves.

Got the sevice manual and a log of everything ever done to the rig right down to each oil change with my 73.

Bought a heep way back when for parts on a project and when I unbolted the rear seat found a bag of pot! Had to be way old, the bag was in bad shape. But it was an interesting find!

All I got was stems and seeds.

rats nest in the frame

More rust than I've ever seen. wiring that would make a journeyman electrician just give up, sand in the diffs, frame, cab..............well ya'll get the idea.

He also left a roller cam motor, a rebuilt C-4 and D20 and other new parts

The day I picked mine up the PO said "wait before you go I got a few extra parts for you" He started ripping through his garage like a madman..I quickly realized I was also doing a dump run as part of the deal! I was too polite to say no!

Ingot original salesmpaperwork from dealer, window stickers from dealer, 1974 ford shop manuals, all service records, and three huge boxes of OE parts. He was the first owner and treated this bronco like a child. I was lucky.
