EM2 INC IS PRESENTING A 1971 U15 WAGON WE AFFECTIONATELY REFER TO AS "ORANGE CRUSH". THIS IS A BADASS BRONCO THAT WE HAVE SPENT THE LAST COUPLE WEEKS GETTING TO KNOW. BY NOW MOST OF YOU KNOW WE BUY A BRONCO AND PROCEED TO MAKE IT BADASS AND FUNCTIONAL FOR MOST TYPES OF FUN. THIS ONE IS NO DIFFERENT. LET'S START WITH THE BODY:THIS 1971 WAS ORIGINALLY DELIVERED THROUGH THE PHOENIX ORDERING DISTRICT AND WAS SOLD AT HUNTER MOTOR CO. ESPANOLA N.M. ON 8/17/71. OF COURSE IT DOESN'T RESEMBLE THE ORIGINAL BRONK BUT IT APPEARS TO HAVE LED A CHARMED AND RELATIVELY RUST FREE LIFE. THE BODY IS GREAT AND THE FRAME AND SUSPENSION ARE IN NEAR PERFECT SHAPE. THE DOORS WERE OFF WHEN WE BOUGHT IT AND IT IS AVAILABLE WITH THE COLOR CODED ROADSTER DOOR INSERTS. WE CALL THE COLOR "HEMI ORANGE". THE HARDWARE , GASKETS, WEATHERSTRIPS, EMBLEMS, AND TAILGATE WORK WELL AND ARE EITHER NEW OR IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. WE INSTALLED BRAND NEW GREY GLASS AND GASKETS IN THE HARDTOP AND REPLACED THE LOCKS IN THE DOORS AND IGNITION SO ONE KEY FITS ALL. WE ALSO REPLACED THE T HANDLE SO THE LIFTGATE LOCKS WITH A NEW KEY AND LOCK ASSEMBLY. ALL THE BODY WEATHERSTRIP IS NEW AS OF 2/2011. THE FIBERGLASS COWL INDUCTION HOOD WAS ON THE BRONCO WHEN WE GOT IT AND WE DO NOT KNOW WHO MANUFACTURED THE HOOD. WE CAN INSTALL A FACTORY STEEL HOOD AND LATCH FOR AN ADDITIONAL $800.00 INTERIOR:THE INTERIOR IS ALL NEW AS WELL. WE INSTALLED NEW SEATS, DOOR PANELS, ROLL BAR, QUARTER PANEL COVERS, STEREO, SPEAKERS, TACH, DASH PAD, VENT WINDOW LOCKS, HEADLINER AND BOW, WIPER MOTOR COVER, AND VISORS. THE CARPET, INSULATION, AND SMITTYBUILT LOCKING CENTER CONSOLE ARE BRAND NEW TOO. THERE ARE MORE PICS AT OUR EM2BAD WEBSITE. WE ARE ADDING A FIRE EXTINGUISHER AND NEW EXTREME DUTY FLOOR MATS TOMORROW. THE CARPET TRIM KIT IS FROM TOM'S AND THE SEATS ARE STOCK BUT REDONE BY OUR LOCAL UPHOLSTERER. THE LAP BELTS ARE INSTALLED ON THE FRONT AND REAR SEATS IN CASE YOU HAVE KIDDOS. ALL IN ALL A VERY NICE INTERIOR SETUP THAT IS QUIET AND COMFORTABLE. YOU CAN STILL HEAR THE EXHAUST RUMBLE FROM THE NEW FLOWMASTERS HOWEVER. CHASSIS AND SUSPENSION: THE CHASSIS AND SUSPENSION ARE IN GREAT SHAPE. THE LIFT IS A 3 1/2" RANCHO TYPE AND THE REAR SPRINGS ARE 11 PACK. WE EXTENDED THE DRIVELINE AND ADDED NEW STAINLESS LINES TO THE DIFFS. THE BRAKES ARE ALL ADJUSTED AND HAVE 75% OR BETTER SHOE. THE POWER BRAKE MODULE IS NEW AND THE LINES ARE NEW. WE SET UP THE ARB AIR LOCKERS FRONT N' REAR. THERE IS AN ON BOARD AIR COMPRESSOR AND THE GEARS ARE 4:10 MATCHED. THE AXLES AND SEALS ARE NEW AS WELL. WE FINISHED UP THE 2 1/2" ALUMINIZED EXHAUST TODAY AS YOU CAN SEE IN THE PICS. THERE ARE DUAL FLOWMASTERS AND THE BRONCO SOUNDS AWESOME. AS YOU CAN SEE ALL THE CHASSIS AND SUSPENSION HAS BEEN ATTENDED TO AND IS IN GREAT WORKING ORDER. THERE ARE 6 DEGREE BUSHINGS AND ALL THE SUSPENSION BUSHINGS ARE REPLACEMENT ITEMS.THE STEERING LINKAGE IS ALSO REPLACEMENT LINKAGE. THE STEERING GEARBOX ITSELF IS A FORD PICKUP GEARBOX AND THE POWER STEERING PUMP IS FROM FORD. THE BELT SETUP IS SERPENTINE BELT PULLEYS. THERE ARE NEW 9MM TAYLOR WIRES AND A DURASPARK IGNITION, NEWER TRUCK AVENGER CARB, K&N SUPERFILTER, AND A PERFORMANCE ALUMINUM INTAKE. THE ACTUAL MOTOR HAS BEEN REBUILT BY THE PREVIOUS OWNERS AND APPEARS TO BE A LATE 80'S ROLLER BLOCK WITH D1AE CONNECTING RODS ETC. IT RUNS EXCEPTIONALLY WELL. THERE IS A LEAK FROM THE REAR MAIN SO WE WILL HAVE TO REPAIR IT PRIOR TO SHIPPING OUT THE BRONCO. THIS HAPPENS A LOT WHEN THEY SIT AROUND AND ARE NOT USED REGULARLY. WE INSTALLED A NEW ONE PIECE PAN GASKET AND EVERYTHING ELSE IS SEALED NICELY. THE REAR FUEL TANK WAS PREPPED AND INSTALLED BY US WITH A NEW SENDING UNIT. WE ALSO RAN NEW ALUMINUM FUEL LINE AND DID OUR USUAL CABLE MANAGEMENT. IT IS COPACETIC ON THE UNDERSIDE. THE SHOCKS ARE RANCHO LONG TRAVEL. OVERALL:OVERALL THIS BRONCO IS IN GREAT SHAPE AND HAS HAD A GREAT DEAL OF CASH SPENT ON THE RUNNING GEAR AND BODY. WHILE IT IS FAR FROM PERFECT IT IS STILL A DECENT INVESTMENT BRONCO AND WILL BE GREAT FOR FISHING, HUNTING, MOVIES, AND WORK AND BACK. BRONCOS LIKE THIS ONE ARE GETTING HARDER TO FIND. DISCLAIMER: THE BRONCO U15GLK24411 IS BEING SOLD "AS IS " AND "WHERE IS" AND THERE ARE NO WARRANTIES EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED. THERE ARE NO SET ASIDES FOR FUTURE REPAIRS OF ANY NATURE . THE ABOVE DESCRIBED BRONCO "IS WHAT IT IS" AND NOTHING MORE. PICTURES WILL NEVER TAKE THE PLACE OF PERSONAL INSPECTION BUT WILL TELL THE GENERAL CONDITION OF THE VEHICLE.
