1974 Bronco Build
The 1974!
I bought this bronco for $800 as a parts bronco. It did not have a title and the tub was a total rust bucket that was glued together by bondo. The 302 ran really well and the C4 shifted smoothly. Here is a shot of the beginning.
I ended up deciding that since the only thing really wrong with it was the tub that I would file for a title and look for a replacement tub. I got the title and found this $400 tub on Ebay in Tucson.
To keep costs low for a budget build I decided on picking up some mismatch paint at the paint store and sprayed in a DIY bedliner from Durabak.
I got her put together just enough to make the Stampede which was a blast. I ended up crushing the drivers rocker and a bit of rock rash here and there. So decided more work to be done to the body.
So I decided I would prep it to sell to fund my 69 project. So I cut the rockers, and shot a new coat of paint from the mix and match.(Did not turn out how it looked on the lid of the can. Oh well!)
So I sold her to a guy in Texas. He has since repainted her to Red and is enjoying his new toy. I ended up using the built 302 and AOD with twin sticked Dana 20 that I had built for my 69, so she became a nice daily driver with some mild offroad capabilities.

Hi I also bought a cheap 67 bronco as a project, it did not come with a title and I am now trying to obtain a title so I can get the lisence plate. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Booker,
Your DMV in your state should be able to guide you on what is required to get a title. If you have third party title shops in your area you can also go there to avoid long lines and the usually not so friendly and unhelpful state employees at the DMV. I used a third party shop and it cost me about $200. Through the DMV would have probably been half that.
