1983 Big Bronco that we've owned for over 10 years. Was daily driver until youngest son left for college. Most everything has been repaired, replaced or rebuilt over the last couple of years. Excellent daily driver that is also excellent off road or in the mud. UPDATES - Correction - Steering gear box not replaced - hose to gearbox replaced - two new pictures added - inspection and guages warm at idle. A few more details - as far as we know this has been an Oklahoma / Texas truck since originally sold in Edmond Oklahoma. Rust - None that I know of. There was some rust on the passenger front floor which was cut out and replaced, and the tailgate was rusted (pretty common for this model). The tailgate was replaced with a new tailgate from Jeff's Bronco Graveyard before the truck was re-painted. One dime sized rust bubble in rain guard rail. Dent's & Dings - It's a 30 year old truck so there are some - body is not perfect. Dent on passenger door upper frame from it being pushed when closing. Front bumper dented from someone putting a tow strap around it to pull someone out. There is also a dent on the passenger rear quarter where the spare tire support hit it when being opened. Mechanical - Motor and Transmission rebuilt within last 1000 miles. New drive-shaft and u joints at same time. Rebuilt carburetor, rodded radiator, new fuel pump (2), new water pump, new brakes. Six inch lift, with new shocks and springs and 35" pro-comp mud terrains - probably 2000 miles on those. A/C all original and working, Radio / speakers / amp all aftermarket. Transfer case, front hubs, differential and front end all original. The one thing that will need attention, that we just never got to is the front end - it's loose, (THIS was INCORRECT - and while the steering box has been replaced)she needs new tie rod ends, ball joints and bushings in the front end. Interior - The interior has been re-done - the flooring was replaced with rubber floor from Jeff's Bronco Graveyard. The quarter panels in the rear were re-done covered with vinyl and the seats are covered in saddle blanket aftermarket seat covers designed to fit this model. Dash also has a new dash pad cover that is hard to distinguish from the original. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC591Wjs6IUcmIMAsCtzxHcw/videos (Video of Bronco Running after Warmup)
