Howdy, just curious to get some thoughts on which direction I should go.
I bought a '75 on a whim.... all original, uncut and complete (302 auto, full smog as far as I can tell, and very little rust). Runs and drives but needs full restoration. My intent was (is) to go moderate off road (33s w/ lift, fairly mild 302, maybe some 4.10 no-slips, front discs, etc, etc) and cosmetically nice, but not a show truck.
I'm kinda wondering if I shouldn't put this one up for sale to someone who wants a factory type Bronco and see if I can find more of a charity case to begin with. I will have to spend a pretty good amount of $$ to equip it like I want, so it seems like maybe I would feel less guilty hackin up a different (cheaper) one! OTOH, I probably overpaid a little anyway, and should probably go with the bird in the hand.
Fire away!
Thanks.
