v4...The Dents We Find

[taxreliever]

I think you primarily be payin for the lift on that one. Bring it down to a normal height and you're talking a 5k truck. To bring it back down, you're talking new springs and tires and labor...so an easy 5k

Yeah, dang....kinda what I figured. To go from 40's to a reasonable 32 or 33 inch tire.....could get some cash for the 40's and offset the new tires and keep the same wheels, but then having to mess with the lift....I know you guys mentioned it really needs to be done by a professional or could cause problems.

So, my next purchase is a gen 5 (must be extremely rare) or 6 crew cab so I can make some memories with the boys in a vehicle I might be able to keep and not have to pass down!

Saw this and thought the pictures must have been doctored by photoshop or something....paint doesn't look real. But anyways, a crew cab with ac, automatic and be 4wd.....AND it doesn't have to be show quality either! Not a rust bucket, but wouldn't mind having something nice to call my own that wouldn't need much tinkering if any at all. A small lift maybe, but not necessary.

One problem that my wife and I knew would come up is that the entire family can't jump in the 77 and go for an icecream, or cruise to a show or something.....so, it would be nice to have something for myself that the entire family can jump in and go....I thought that the bronco would fill this need, but at least for the first few years, it's not as practically being 2 doors and having 2 car seats. We've already passed up a few times of using it and taking the wife's dd because of it....plus, the 92 isn't as nostalgic as a 73-79.

Soooooooooooooo...........We should start looking?

That's a beauty Austin.

It would look really nice in my driveway.

The only thing that would scare me off is the paint.

But it's pretty nice. Bed rails, Explorer package, 'wood grain' seems to be all good.

Closer inspection shows a missing trim piece on the tailgate, crease down the bed on the passenger side. I just had to go and look at the pictures again!

After seeing those things, it's down to a $3000 truck.

Good catch

Ummmmmmm......



















Yes.

-4wd,

-DOES NOT HAVE TO BE SHOW QUALITY - but not junk either, thinking $8-10K+, I just want something reliable, say a rebuilt motor and tranny

-automatic,

-AC,

-small lift and the lift isn't mandatory also, just wouldn't mind having something with a little more clearance...a few inches even,

-crew cab (4 doors) gen 5 or gen 6 preferably. I might consider a gen 7, just cause I love my Bronco so much.

Wow, for the money, that's not bad.

Engine looks a little warn and those wheels would be the first to go.

I've never been a fan of soft colors like this, but I think this would look good with a lift and some 36's or 37's.

Hey, that's a fine color! My '87 GMC is the same color

That's a lot of dough! Nice restoration though.

A 460! And that's even more dough for this one....$21,900? And it's a standard....dang.

Color, not crazy about.
There's no lift, right?
Wheels are just OK.

Looks nice though.

In my neck of the woods if you're serious!

They're factory hubcaps, I had them on my first dent. They take some getting used to!
