******************************************************************************** I will not end the auction early.*******************************************************************************************  I just figured out I have lost the title. I will go by the tax commission Monday to order a duplicate.  ********************************************************         Ragged old 1973 Ford Bronco. Seen better and seen worse. Have owned worse. Been in my family since 1979 and I have owned it since about 1992. My aunt and uncle bought it in 1979 with 53k on it. I bought it with 59k. It was used on a rough ranch in NE Oklahoma to check cattle and oil field leases. As you can see from the pics my uncle had a little fire and dinged up the hood a bit in his haste to get it open. I know he changed out the speedo at 36k (according to his recollection) and changed the wiring harness.   302 auto Explorer package. Starts runs good. pretty solid old truck. I drove it to Colorado in 1998 Elk hunting. Was my daily driver for 4 or 5 years. I was going to do a custom on it but plans and interest drifted. I put an extra leaf rear spring and new coil front springs and bushing's up front. So it rides like a lumber wagon. I had the transmission and transfer case gone through about 20 years ago and it has dripped since. Nothing major. Transmission shifts good. Transfer cas has a little chatter. A drop or two a night. I put headers on it about 20 years ago. I bought some late model pickup cast wheels and put the tires on 20 years ago. Probably hasnt been driven 5K miles since. My dad and I rigged up the front receiver and built the cradle for the Ramsey 9000 lb winch. Model REP 9000 I believe. The rear fenders were cut prior to coming into the family. The dash area has been trimmed for the now non functioning radio. Seemed like a good idea at the time. A entry panel in the floor pan was cut when I put the wild horses twin stick in it 20+ years ago. Seemed like a good idea at the time. I painted the interior with a coating about two years ago and covered the rear seat holes. Seemed like a good... well you get the picture. The rear seat is included. the original interior is significantly deteriotated hence the walmart seat covers.   I started doing little things on it last year. Bought new door panels and seals. One is on. the other and original are included although the original is rough. Paint is faded. Doors need adjusted and passenger wing needs new pivot. Windshield has  a couple chips. Front gas tank is bad. Rear is an oversize steel unit I installed. Gas tank selector valve has been removed. Not sure what else to say about it. It would make a good project and a guy could drive it as is.  Buyer must make shipping arrangements. Certified check must clear before vehicle or title is released. Cash accepted with proper idea.   I need the cash, rather uncle Sam needs the cash. I am an FFL so interesting collectibles may be considered as partial trade.
