Well, after several years of messing around with 4wd trucks, I finally found a Bronco at a decent price. Its a 79, needs some work, but hey, everything I have ever hauled home has. Heres a few pics of it. Wish me luck on my new Honey, may I have some money project! LOL

Thats a pretty nice looking rig there. Good find, if you don't mind how much did you give? Are those rear quarters rust free? Thats like finding a needle in a hay stack these days.

Believe it or not, I only gave $600 for it, plus about $50 for diesel fuel. It has some brand of a 4" lift and 33's. The only rust I have found is a hole in the drivers floor, a medium size spot in the lower corner of where the door shuts, and a few small bubbles under the paint on the rear drivers side fender right above the wheel. Like I said, it needs work, motor is a 351m and is wore out, smokes like a train. Ole boy I bought it from was rough on it. I need to figure out what I will do about the rear seat though

Well, I thought it came rear seat delete, but after getting it cleaned out this afternoon, I found where the rear seat brackets bolt up, so now its just a matter of finding the seat and brackets. BTW, for anyone who may be interested, I have a a few pics of my other vehicles. The Caprice 9C1 is currently for sale also.!!

I'd say for 600 dollars you did good. I gave 600 for mine. I think later I am going to go with some design of a 4in lift and keep my current 33x12.50. I dont wanna go to wild with her. Your ole 351M can most likely be easily rebuilt. Good engine in my opinion, they can take alot of abuse.
