WELL IT IS NICE TO FIND SOME PEOPLE WHO CAN APPRECIATE A BIG BODY BRONCO. I AM A SOUTHERN BOY BY NATURE BORN IN TX LIVED IN FL KS LA CA AND CO. AFTER HIGH SCHOOL MOVED TO JACKSON HOLE WYO, ALWAYS HAVE BEEN A GEAR HEAD IN HIGH SCHOOL. HELP MY BUDDY JAKE REBUILD HIS CHEVY P/U AND HAVE BEEN TINKERIN EVER SINCE. A FRIEND WAS GETTING MARRIED AND NEEDED TO SELL A BRONCO HE HAD IN THE BACK YARD, HE WAS GOIN TO DO SOMETHING BUT NEVER DID. BOUGHT MY 79 BRONCO AND 15 FT CAMPIN TRAILER FOR$500. IT WAS A STEAL. PUT A CHARGE ON THE BATTERY AND IN THE MIDDLE OF WINTER THE PIG FIRED RIGHT AWAY. COULDNT BELIEVE IT, BRAKES WERE ANOTHER ISSUE ALL TOGETHER. SO I HAD IT TOWED TO TOWN TO THE JACKSON HOLE BRAKE AND ALIGNMENT( I WORK THERE AS A SERVICE WRITER). AND THAT IS WHERE IT STARTED.
I KNEW WHAT I WAS GETTIN INTO, THAT THERE WOULD BE SOME SERIOUS TIME SPENT WORKING AND REPLACING OLD ORIGINAL PARTS. ALL BRAKE LINES AND ALL. TIRES 33X12.5R15 ALL 5. ALT FUEL PUMP TUNE UP TAIL ARM BUSHINGS ECT ECT. COME TO FIND OUT THAT THE MOTOR AND C6 TRANS ARE NEW. WHO EVER HAD IT BEFORE MIKE DUMPED SOME $ IN THE MOTOR. AND THAT IS COOL.
I CAN GET ENOUGH OF 4X4, LIVIN IN ELK COUNTRY. IT IS PERFECT FOR SCOUTIN. ALSO BEING A BELOW KNEE AMPUTEE IT KEEPS ME BEHIND THE WHEEL AND NOT HIKIN MY FAT ASS UP THE MOUNTAIN.
MY DAUGHTER LOVES THE THING. ALWAYS WANTS THE TOP OFF. NOW WHEN MIKE SEES HIS OLD BRONCO RUNNIN DOWN THE ROAD HE REGRETS GIVIN IT UP. AND HE SHOULD IT HAS BEEN A GREAT TRUCK.
YEAH AND SO WHAT I HAVE SPENT $3500 IN PARTS. THAT DOES NOT MATTER. WHAT MATTERS IS THAT I DO ALL MY OWN WORK AND HAVE A BLAST DOIN IT.
DID I TELL YOU THAT I AM 20 DAYS OLDER THAT THE PIG. MY MAN DATE IS 1/12/79 THE PIGS 2/02/79. CRAZY HUH? LIKE IT WAS MEANT TO BE.
I LOOK FORWARD TO MEETIN SOME COOL ASS PEOPLE ON THIS WEBSITE. ALSO I WOULD LOVE TO HEAR IDEAS AND INPUT ON ALL THE QUESTIONS I HAVE. FOR EXAMPLE WHY CANT I FIND A COMPANY THAT SELL SOFT TOPS AND FRAMES FOR IT. YOU SEE ALL THIS STUFF 1ST GEN BRONCS BUT NOT MUCH FOR THE BIG BODIES. ITS LIKE THE BIG BODYS ARE THE BASTARD CHILD OF THE FAMILY.
