Original radio and speaker work and a small FM converter is installed under the dash and working.On May-07-12 at 17:19:31 PDT, seller added the following information: -I had questions about what it looked like in the back, so I added several photos of exactly what the bed/tailgate area looks like on the photobucket.com account listed here: http://s544.photobucket.com/albums/hh357/bronco_46256/1968%20Bronco/?start=all -Also, I do have the original air cleaner for the truck. Added a photo of that also in the photobucket account. -Had questions about the carb--Its a 2 barrell Holley with manual choke. Purchased it new to put on the truck. Runs excellent. -Someone asked about the sticker on the dash. Its the original sticker about how to operate the Warn front locking hubs. Its a bit faded, but I never touced it since it was the original. -This was the last year of the Bronco the window frames unbolted from the doors. So, the top comes off, window frames unbolt and the windshield can fold down, similar to a Jeep. I have had the top off and window frames off, but never have folded windshield. -Question about the unpainted bracket on the passenger rear fender-Its the "Rancher" option that is extremely rare on these trucks. It allows you to swing the tire carrier all the way out to the fender, flip the tire over to the other side of the carrier and bolt it to the truck so you can run with the tailgate down. It appears to be some type of galvanized metal since its not painted, but has no rust on it. I bought it that way and have never touched the finish. -Finally-I couldnt sell a car in good conscience with rusty valve covers, so I had them sandblasted, painted and new gaskets/bolts installed for the new owner!!
