I have a 1990 bronco 5.0l 302 and only have room for one vehicle on my property because of other stuff i have there. I am thinking of selling the bronco so i can get an f350 because it is a pickup and i do landscaping on the side. I love my bronco but want a real pickup. What should i do?

Go with a pickup conversion kit available at Jeff's Bronco Graveyard. Then, you still have your bronco, and now you have a bed for your landscape stuff. :)>-

just pull the top and backseat, fabricate a back bulkhead or a short wall between the seat, and use the rear as a pickup bed

Thats the plan, I had to pull out the whole rear carpet after the tailgate window I ordered NEVER came in. Come to find out I was scammed, now I have to persure legal action for a refund and for a new floor and rear seat.

$-) Well you have a few things to think about first.

1. A bronco will not work as a work truck for landscaping.

2. A truck is the only way to run a landscaping company.

3. You have to do whats right for your company if you want to make money.

Two things you can do under the question you posted.

1. Sell the bronco for a good work truck for landscaping.

2. Or you can do what every other landscaping company doses there in Florida. Fix your Bronco up really nice!! and buy a trailer open/ or closed for less money and show off your bronco. If you get a closed trailer you can lock it up and keep it at another location or on job sites that are big projects.

Most landscaping companys here have a really nice truck/SUV type vehicle and trailer their equipment.

Its what ever works for you and making money to pay the bills and run your company.

If it's only part time then you should be able to use the Bronco and maybe a trailer for the jobs. I guess it depends on what you have to haul and how much you love your Bronco.

I used to be a remodel general contracter and if I was going to do it again I'd go with a closed trailer. That way when your done with work you drop the trailer and go have fun. With a truck your tools are always in the back and you cant go 4wheeling. If this is a part time business why go to all the exspense of a new truck? I watched a lot of guys get contracter rich$$$$$$$ Then lose it all. I pull a trailer behind my 89 bronco for the occasional jobs I do and that works well. And thats with a 6" lift. And yes It does work well as a advertisment billboard. Anyway do what works for you. :D/
