This is my 78 Bronco. It has been in the family since 1982 and I have grown up in and around this truck. Its been in close to perfect shape until a 4th grade teacher backed into it. There is a small dent on the passenger side but other than that the truck is pristine. The motor was rebuilt in 1988 and has about 200,000 on it. The truck runs the best its ever run but I'm looking to do a few more things to it. I recently discovered a rotten soft plug which will need to be replaced, as well as a lifter making some noise. I will eventually be doing a complete resto on it. Currently the motor has a TRW valvetrain, cam, lifters, rebuilt OE Heads, edelbrock torquer highrise intake manifold, edelbrock 600cfm carb, headers, 2.5" exhaust to a 3" X-pipe and 3" exhaust from the x-pipe back. It has a C6 transmission w/B&M Shift Kit, NP205 transfercase, 3:5 gears, 15"x10" Aluminum Rims from LMC Truck on 33"x12.50" BFG Mud Terrains. I recently replaced the carpet and all the electrical. The sound system consists of a Kenwood Excelon Deck w/IP500 Ipod Interface, 2 Boston Acoustic S75 Coaxial speakers, 2 Boston Acoustic S60 Coaxial speakers, Kenwood Excelon 620 watt 4-channel amp, 2 Kicker 12" CVR's in a Sub Zero sealed box w/920 watt 2 channel amp. (exhaust not installed yet in pictures)

Carpet Replace
OE Rebuilt Heads (10/06)
Gettin' Dirty
The truck looks great in the pictures but does have quite a few issues seeing that it is 30 years old. It was my dads work truck/painting truck. It sat for about 7 years until he gave it to me to fix up. There is only minor, non-cancerous rust on the tailgate, the paint has some rough areas (cracks and clear peeling on roof), and it leaks every fluid except power steering fluid. All in all this truck is rock solid and reliable. For a 30 year old truck with over 300k on the body and a 20 year old motor, it has been an incredible DD for the past two years.
