New proud owner of a '89 Bronco!

[Great Gordoni]

Brought my Bronco home yesterday. I love it. My wife loves it and proceeded to name it, "Buck." Seemed appropriate. It's been around the block a time or two with 150,000 miles, but it still has great pick up. The exterior paint has faded and is worn in places. Everything is original…even the bushings… which I'll replace soon. The engine could use a bit of cleaning just to see what needs attention. One place in the center of the tailgate has a small place that's rusted through, but not too bad. I'll weld in a patch, spray in a rust preventative, replace the rear window seal and finish the outside. Should be good as new. Otherwise, it's in pretty good shape. Came with a new gas tank. Previous maintenance has been mainly oil changes. Got it from an original owner. Great truck!

Welcome! I bought my current Bronco a few months ago. Like yours, it had the originally bushings and replacing them was one of the first things that I did with it.

Hey thanks for all the information! I'll be in touch on the forum. Meanwhile it's too cold here in NC to do any work on the Bronco. Right now, we're in the midst of building a garage, so I'm waiting for warmer weather.
