Cleaning out basement

Post by cravenbronco »

I decided to start on cleaning the scary basement of mine last night. I was making good head room when I found LOTS of boxes with Bronco parts. Then my ATTN went towards the Bronco and no longer the basement lol.
Sum of the goodies that I found
Window regulators
Original gauges
Gauge housing
The glass for it that is still good not broken
Headlight bezels
And so much more
Its like a early XMAS lol

The worst part is. I was looking for this box for the last 2 years and now I find it. I'm glad I did or I would have started to think that I was going a little crazy

You did at least find it before you bought parts to replace those ones?

Otherwise this would be in the "You know what sux?" thread.

Yeah, I usually find my "lost" stuff right after I buy new stuff.

You ain't kidding. I bought hydroboost hose adapters years ago before I did the '74. Couldn't find them when I was upgrading it so I bought new ones. Found them later and kept track of them for future use. Thought I brought them out here on this trip to hydoboost the new Bronco but couldn't find them when I got here. Bought new ones. Did the hydroboost, then found the old ones in a box of extra hose. I guess I'm ready for the next one, again.

Spent hours tearing my shop apart looking for a tool, gave up and went to the hardware store and bought another one, got back to the shop too late to start using it, moved the old one over to make room for the new one on the shelf.

I swear the gremlins work overtime around me.

You own a bronco...it comes with the territory!

You don't have to be crazy to drive a bronco, but it helps!
1973 Bronco, 351 SEFI, Locked, discs, 35's ZF-5spd and Atlas 4spd. 235:1 Crawl Ratio. It may be ugly, but it's slow.
