I had once seen this sitting at a guys house about 16 or so years ago and it actually at that time was decent. But of course then I did not know then what I know now about EB's. So actually then it was still a laughing stock of a build. But at least then the paint was good and so on. Well at that time the like most guys with a Eb sitting, he said well I am going to get it going and show it again. So Im sorry its not for sale.

Ok well 16 or so years later I am at my new job talking to this guy about my obsession for EB's. He live in another state you see, so of course you have to put the bug in everybodys ear for the little things right? Anyway. He said There is a guy in parts dept that lives down the street from him that has one in his yard. LOW and BEHOLD it is the one from 16 years ago a state away. And yes its for sale. 500.00 cash. So I go look at it today. WOW what a waist. This was a 66. The only thing that is good is the headlight rings and gauge cluster.

It has a tilt front end, 44in new (dry rotted) ground hawgs and CUSTOM 8 in fence post body lift, CUSTOM 10 in drop rear spring hangers and drop radius arm brakets.

Check it out.

I would not give 10 dollars for it. There is nothing left.

I am going to get the headlight rings and the 66 gauge cluster and use it.

It does have a auto in it though. And a B&M slap shifter.

That Kid is my son LOL
I take him everywhere with me on Bronco search outings. The one I am building now is going to be his.

The guy who used to own this is in jail.
His soon to be Ex wife is the one selling it.

I've seen worse for $500. Its not such a bad deal.

I do love the air cleaner.

Realistically it was POS from the day someone started working on it.

I bought a POS and have less in it than most and its a really good truck now. It only took 5 years of my son's and my labor though. :)

You need to offer $100 just to put that thing out of it's misery. It has a least $100 worth a parts on it.

Well in that case your son looks to have a good head on his shoulders;D. He's laughing with the rest of us.

BUT, for $500 I'd jump on it. Even though those ground hogs are dry rotted you can still get at least $350-$400(maybe more) for them since the tread is good and they hold air. I'm sure there are a few other parts to get you your money back with using just a screwdriver and opening the doors or hood. The rest could be used for the rig your building, sold at your leisure and scrapped (or put out of its misery).

Looks like some sort of homegrown hydrolic ram??? Maybe he abandoned, but wanted to use it open the front end??? Actually, I don't even want to know.

hahaha, It kind of looks like a hood shock with some sort of coil attached??

How about this? I'm no doctor but three hose clamps holding the steering shaft/joint together might not be so safe?

We can make a hell of a game out of this one...........seek and find the fabrication foul-ups.

We should con Nickstrix into buying this so he can park it in front of his shop with a HUGE sign that reads...........IF YOU LIKE THIS BRONCO PLEASE TURN AROUND AND IMMEDIATELY VACATE THE PREMISES OR THE DOGS WILL ATTACK!!!
