You know you drive an Early Bronco when you order parts for it and they keep asking you if it is the full size version (like if they made two versions)

You know you are driving an Early Bronco when anytime is a good time to restore it (3 am or 4am)

You know you drive an Early Bronco when you go to fill up at the local gas station and the guys say " just 12 gallons again?". Why don't you fill it and you won't need to come back as often.........%)

when you're most likely the coolest kid on your block, no one else has one.

You know you drive an early bronco when you have to go outside after a rainstorm and use a broom to push all of the water off your sagging bikini top.

....when you have to get final approval from the Minister of Finance and War (wife) for yet another "required" modification.......

....when you still try to log into Bronco sites from a warzone so you don't miss out on the latest discussions.......

....when combat pay is added up in terms of Bronco parts.....

This is truly a sickness...

When you nearly catapult your wife through the windshield of your new F150, because you applied the same amount of brake presure required in your drum brake Bronco.

When you're working out of town and trailer the Bronco along not just because you might find 5 minutes to drive it, but because you know you'll miss it.;D

When you have torn the pocket or backside out of multiple pair of jeans due to the seat spring that is poking through the side of the seat.

When you get the bright idea to take the doors and top off of your 40 year old daily driver during summer and snap all the hinge bolts and then have to drive said Bronco in insulated overalls during the winter because you are too broke to fix the door posts.

When cleaning out the interior involves a water hose instead of a vacuum cleaner.

When you spend 15 minutes reading a thread titled "you know you drive an Early Bronco when?" and love every minute of it because it is all so funny and true! ;D

..When you are driving down the highway and while passing an early 60's Chebby 2 door in mint condition and they run off the road giving you thumbs up.

.. the guy on the Harley runs up on the sidewalk @45mph because he is turned around checking out the Bronco.

... A guy in a Military Hummer offers an even swap for your Bronco.

You know you drive an Early Bronco when... You're almost done with your restoration, and you're already trying to figure out how to buy another one to restore.

Your mom tells your girlfriend how jealous she is that she gets to ride in the bronco and how when she was dating my dad (he had one in the 70's) she thought it was normal to smell like exhaust all the time.

When the wife bitches at you because all your pants and shirts have oil stains on them.

When as a lowly enlisted man, field grade officers (Majors and above) refer to you by first name, not because they are unprofessional but because you're another Bronco Brother.

When you are on your way to sign yourself up for treatment for alcoholism and just before turning in to the facility you see a Bronco you're never seen and think for a second "I can spare just a few minutes to go meet this guy". Yeah. This was me today.

When your Bronco is impounded by the military police for being on a jack stand, and rather than abandoning it to whatever fate may come, you jump through all of the military hoops 2 years later to get it back even though you could have easily written off the $1200 loss.

When you've just upgraded or replaced a part and rather than immediately throwing the old part away you think "I should hang on to this, in case another Bronco owner needs it" then add it to the pile/storage unit with the rest of the parts.

When you chastise your wife for folding the latest issue of Bronco Driver in to fourths so she could fit it in to your care package, rather than simply being happy she took the time to send it.

When you don't talk to your wife for half a day after she jokes about selling your Bronco when you leave for your next deployment.

When you are planning a road trip/business trip and instead of thinking of all the tourist spots you can visit, you make a list of Bronco owners who live along the route.

When you've visited a salvage yard and the sight of a busted up old Bronco with very little chance of ever being put back to drivable condition makes you sad. (I also get this way when I see ads posted in the classifieds by people parting out Broncos too.)

When six years later you still regret not taking the FREE rust bucket, early VIN 1966 roadster someone offered you.

when you squeak out 11 mpg and you're happy about it. check

when you can't ever get out of a gas station without someone walking up to ask you about your rig. check

when you're the only one that can't smell the gas fumes on your clothes after your ride to work. check

when you're the only one that's not concerned about the oil dripping from multiple locations under your rig. check

when you have to put on 5 layers of clothes to keep from freezing to death in the winter but you drive your rig anyways. i live in the desert. No problems there.
