1974 Bronco U15

Post by mwlynch3 »

Well, it's official. I am a Bronco owner. Picked it up today. This thing runs great.
302, 3 on the tree, primer, runs better than my '03 Jeep GC.

This thing is a blast to drive.

Almost everything is stock on it.

All I need: Passenger Seat Bracket, one headlight, one plate welded in passenger side rear fender/tub, fuel gauge will not read (all other gauges work great), and lastly PAINT.

I got tires today (31" BFG ATs) ,those are getting mounted tomorrow, I cleaned out all the dirt/parts/dust/rust dust/crap from the inside, and drove it 5 miles home, through downtown hauling a$$. Anyone have a passenger seat bracket for sale? Also, will need help welding that plate.

Hope to see you all soon.

Mike

MW - way excited for you!! I know you have been looking for a long time and that looks like a great Bronco. Cool that it was kept very stock. The 31's will be a very nice addition for looks and safety. Welcome to Bronco ownership - this is going to be a fun summer! Congrats!

That looks like it has lots of potential.

We are gonna call it "lone wolf" until you get another seat in it

Awesome!! Before you replace that one headlight with another mediocre one, check out an inexpensive HID kit from www.ddmtuning.com

I paid what he was asking for. $3500. Well worth it, the seller was pretty cool. He threw in a bunch of extras that I wasn't expecting. I know what these things are worth, and I am not the type of person to nickel & dime somebody over some petty crap. He was honest about everything and I have not had a single surprise about the Bronco. The only surprise I really had was that the horn works.

I had no idea it worked and after three days of driving, I figured it out. The fuel gauge also works now too.

I am very pleased with this vehicle and I look forward to driving the piss out of it. In my family, we buy 'em and drive 'em. I don't see the point in having 20 cars in a garage and not driving them ever. So I may not beat it to death, but I ain't gonna rub it with a diaper.

I really liked the seller's ad for this Bronco - there was a new one each day like a Mel Gibson voice mail. Something to look forward to lmao

Where are you located. I have 115v and could possibly help with the welding if you're close. Well that is after I get some more argon/co2 - I'm out at the moment.

I live in Denver, about 6 blocks from Coors Field. I think I got a buddy who is going to weld it up for me. Thanks though, but I am open for suggestions from another Bronco owner... I have some potentially stupid questions.

Let me know...
