For sale is a nearly completed project bronco that I have worked on for better part of the last two years. Due to a military transfer, I am forced to sell it. The goal for this truck was to rebuild it to be 100% mechanically reliable and off-road capable. While some body panels were replaced, the rough exterior look was maintained to have a military-vehicle appearance. It was built to be durable using only top quality components. This truck would make a perfect bug-out vehicle, hunting vehicle or off-road toy. The truck currently starts every time, runs, and is drivable but does require some fine tuning to get the timing and fuel to air ratios correct. The exhaust system does not include a catalytic converter so the vehicle is not road legal. Check your local and state laws. Vehicle originally had 300,000 miles on it when I started this project. I have put on only 250 miles since it's been completely rebuilt. I have a clean title in hand. Restoration included frame-off, rust treatment and the replacement or reconditioning of virtually every part of the truck. Below is a complete list of modifications and replacement parts.
