Well, last Friday I picked up my 1st Bronco:
1982
Power Nothing - except steering...lol
Has Cadillac seats installed for comfort - pretty sweet
Detriot locked in the rear
Detroit True Track up front
3.73 gears
9" rearend
6" Skyjacker Softride lift (w/6" leafs in the back - no blocks!)
(ewww) NP208
Came with 38.5x15.50x15" Tires. Swapped those onto my F150
Came with 15x10" Precision White Wagon Wheel rims w/2" of backspacing - Swapped those onto my F150
Took the from my F150 35x12.50x15" MT/R's and swapped those for a set of 35x15.50x15" TSL SX's.
No Air Conditioning...
B&M xfercase shifter...
Green interior lights? weird...
Paint is Green/white with rust.

Overall a pretty sweet truck for $1200.00. Glad I picked it up. I'm replacing the chain in the NP208 this week - you can hear it slapping around...

LOL...well, that's what I get with the 6" skyjacker softride suspension that was installed on it - as well as a generous amount of fender trimming...This thing ought to flex pretty well.

Thanks for the warm welcome guys! I'm hoping to get her all put back together by this weekend for her maiden voyage. Guess it would help if I drained all the fluids and replaced as many gaskets as possible before heading out...lol, smart people do it that way anyway!

You hooked up bro! The tires alone must be half the cost of the truck. Those kind of deals can't be passed up. Looks like a good trail rig. I run 38.5" SX's and they are rough on the road espically if I let the truck sit for long periods (flat spots) I found the Swamper Radials very nice for street (quiet) but have weak side walls.

Wheel it like you stole it!
