Hey all back again with gas power this time. Everyone gave me alot of advice when I had my 89 F-350/7.3. Well I hit the point with it I decided it was time to cut it loose with everything it needed to be brought back into prime condition. So it was sold as was my other truck and I bought a 05 Chevy ex cab(got it cheeeap) for my daily driver but was still keeping an eye out for an older Ford. My son was showing me pics of the mid 70's model Ford trucks/broncos, saying thats the body styles he liked.His 16 Bday was coming up soon and he was dropping hints in Overdrive... I came across a 78 Bronco on another forum and Pm'd the guy, after seeing alot of pics and talking to him, we made the deal. So I hooked up my trailer and headed 400 miles north to pick it up. Got there and everything checked out just as I told, loaded her up and headed south. Got home Saturday afternoon and my oldest was pumped, I told him it was for a family project not just for him..he was kind let down some but still all over the truck. Sunday was the day of his surprise party, so once the cake was cut and presents opened, I flipped him a small box. He kind of had weird look on his face, opened the box to find the Bronco keys...Mom and I both said Happy Birthday, its yours! Excited is an understatement but worth everything it took to make it happen!
He plans to go back to factory paint and fix what little it needs on the interior, he is saying that it will stay stock other than the rims/tires. Truck runs and drives great, does have some surface rust, no holes through the body though,Does have a few dings a 2 small dents nothing major
