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.
