I'm working on my 4th Bronco. This one is a '78 Ranger XLT that my son and I bought for $500. It had been setting in a field since 97. BAD knock in the engine. Here she is when we started.

Here we are with the engine finally out

And here's the engine some $1800 (the amount the little Mrs. knows about /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> ) later setting back where it belongs.

As I said this is the 4th bronco. #1 was an 85 w/300six that got replaced with a 351M of my rebuilding. Sweet mother what a torquer. But saddly enough that one got totaled when the wife was going to work and got hit by a snowplow. Said snowplow was completetly in the wife's lane, took out the whole left side of the Bronco. The wife was very lucky to come away with just bumps and bruises. Impact was so hard it tore the front end off the frame on the left side and broke the block above the left front corner of the oil pan.
#2 was a "93 w/302. It got traded in on "Bill" (after William Clark of the Lewis and Clark Expedition) my '97 Expedition. Bill's my baby, Plush but with Colorado pin stripes to proove he can take it.
#3 was an '83 that my son picked up for $600 from a guy who shouldn't have been allowed to touch a wrench. It was much rusted out and after a couple years it got sold for a nice profit.
I've also got a 77 Hiboy that I'm working on

Can y'all see the Ford trend here???
Anyway that's a bit about this Ford fan.
