So I've been woring on getting g this bronco for almost 3 months. It's a 1970 with a 302, auto, powe steering and power disc brakes. It's is very original and uncut. Never been wrecked or repainted. I also don't think the top has ever been off of it. I plan to add a/c to make it nicer to drive and a few other odds and ends.
This is when I got it home last night. I plan to give it a good once over before I start driving it.

Looks pretty good. Hope you don't find anything serious to deal with. Let me know what you settled on for price.

I think I'm too tall to fit in a half cab comfortably. I do like the look tho.

Picked up a set of 90's ford alcoa wheels. After looking at it with a set of (very) used 31s I think I'm going to downsize to 235s.

Been a while since I've updated this. It's getting close to being road worthy. Been busy colecting parts and tinkering. Got all the lights working correctly. Bought a new set of tires.

Replaced all the bushings in the front end and replaced all the worn out steering linkages with better stuff.

Rebuilt the carb and installed an hei style distributor.

Replaced the worn out rear drive shaft with a new one from Tom Woods. Still needs a front shaft replaced but it can wait for now.
Took it on a quick test drive satuday. It actually drives pretty nice now. Just a few more odds and ends till it's road worthy.

No pictures but I finally drove it farther then just up the road. Finished up a few little things.

Replaced the seats with one's that are in better shape. Added a drivers seat relocation bracket so the seat goes back farther. Only had one bolt break off that had to be drilled.

Swapped the huge factory steering wheel for a grant steering wheel I had laying around.

It badly needs a tune up. I'm sure the 2 year old fuel doesn't help. But other then that it drives nice. Hopefully by the end of the week it will be the new daily.
