Vehicle Detail

1979 Ford Bronco full size 4WD locking hubs with 4 way adjustable plow. Vehicle has rust above both wheel wells and has Bondo. Also has holes in the floor of the truck. Truck has been used on my property to plow snow for last 8 years or so. Motor starts and runs, but needs to warm up before it will stay running without hitting the gas. it also bogs down if u hit the gas hard. I am pretty sure the problem is vacuum related. i am not a mechanic, so i just let it warm up. it also has some play in the wheel, so i think both tie rod ends need replaced. Tires have good tread and 4WD works well. Has pretty large after marked American Racing rims. Blower motor probably needs to be replaced, it makes a sqeeking sound but still works. truck mostly sits, i recently got a tractor to plow snow with, so I no longer need the plow. Plow goes up and down, and can pivot left and right. Return spring for brake pedel is weak, so i have a bungie chord pulling brake pedal back up. Truck has no back seat, and carpet was removed. Has power back window and a trailer brake unit. A/C belt was removed, but it is inside the truck. Belts are new because they were squeaking last year. Has not been tuned up since i have owned it, but i change the oil every summer... i estimate it drives about 30 miles a year... mostly driving back and forth from the gas station. Temp gauge doesn't work, but the rest of the gauges do work. has a cheap aftermarket cassette radio, good enough to listen to while plowing. Let me know if you have any questions, or want more pictures... U can either call me or email me though ebay. 815 277 six six seven eight. Have a clear title, truck just needs a new owner who will give it more attention. Update.... I took the truck out for a drive tonight. I haven't started it in a 2 months, and with 5 pumps of the gas and a couple cranks it started right up. I let it warm up, and drove it for about 4 miles. It ran good, and i drove 60 mph no prob. It seems it might have had some older gas, because i put some new gas in it and it ran great. let me know if you have any questions.... probably be best if buyer comes out and takes a look, i don't think you will be dissappointed... I also want to be honest and let the buyer know exactly what they are getting. On Jan-31-13 at 19:48:32 PST, seller added the following information: Jan 31st. - I had a couple requests for more pictures... i added them to the auction... also, had a couple questions about the dual shocks on each wheel in the front end... this truck does have that option... i took a picture above the passenger wheel to show it. i also made sure the trans would shift into all 4 four wheel drive gears... 4 low, neutral, 2 high and 4 high. battery might be a little low, because i had to throw a start charger on it today...though it was only like 9 degrees with a wind chill below zero.... let me know if you need anything else... if you want a quick answer, text me at 815 277 6678 i have it on me all the time. thanks!
