Many of you know that I have been casually looking for a project bronco - My plans are to stretch it into an extra cab with a bed. Stretch the frame and then the tub (or bob the tub and use the bed off a 66 ford pick up - that remains to be determined). Anyway, I had found one on craigs list, that was posted here as well, from the pictures in the ad, it looked like about a perfect starting point, you know - in pieces all over the guys bck yard.

I showed the ad to Daniel and suggested we go take a look at it, but it was located in Elizebeth and the weather out there has not exactly been cooperating durring the evenings this week. Friday was a long scheduled and much needed date night with my lovely wife Cheri (we are old, sushi - then wall mart to look at seat cushions for the patio furniture...).

Well Daniel took it upon himself to go look at it Friday evening after he got off work (he got off at 8pm). He did not tell me. Instead I was awakend at 1:20 am by Cheri with the words "Daniel needs you to go look at something on his truck". Now many of you know of Dan's history with his truck so you can imagine the range of thoughts I had running through my head as I am heading downstairs to the garage and driveway. Thoughs like "What did he break now?, where did he go to break it? is everyone ok? do we need to clean it up before the investigators show up?"

Well this is what I found













The boys went together and bought it for me. Frame looks good so far, tub - well it needs some attention. I have one door, both tanks and a manual steering colum I will not be useing. Roll bar is up for grabs as well once I get the tub braced.

Yeah - I think Cheri and I have done a pretty good job of raising those boys.

What a cool story. This will be fun for you and your boys. You must be proud of them.

AWESOME !

Congratulations to you for getting such a great present but more importantly............

CONGRATS to you and Cheri for doing such a great job raising those boys !

Good vibes all around

Great kids ya got there on a lot of levels. Sounds like a great start to a fun build.

THAT IS AWESOME GREG! I cant wait to see how the project develops.

Dude thats real cool, great kids you got there.

My fathers day came early also in the form of new WH long tube headers with matching magnaflow mufflers and a coupon for the rest of the exhaust. JP

That is BA! Let me know when you start stretching the frame and cutting into the tub, I want to watch/help & get ideas. Plus I think I have a couple of pieces of sheet metal you want.

That is awesome. Nicely done, sons.

Nice job boys. Greg that's a pretty good place to start. Congrats.
