v4...The Dents We Find

[taxreliever]

Always wanted to get a Bronco to match Red's paint scheme...but the tu-tone deluxe pattern. Then while I'm at it...I might as well get a crew and super cab to match too.

That said...the Bronco is nice...but nit picking at that price...can't get the right headlight bezels, trim is cloudy and as a personal preference...I hate doubling up on lower race track trim and wheel well trim. Beyond that...looks reeeeally nice. Not sure dentsides can carry a 30k premium though...maybe half that. But considering what a new truck costs, it's not that bad.

Hahaha.....a crew and a super cab to match Red would be AWESOME along with this matching Bronco!

I see now what you're saying about the trim....I think I would have left the wheel trim out also. For that kind of dough, you think he'd spend a couple hundred on a professional detail and what's wrong with the bezels? Are they supposed to be aluminum?

^^^It's a 79 and says XLT...should be aluminum bezels.

Crap, that's a stunning Bronco!!

That is the same color and trim as the one I used to have...and at least this guy put a cowl weatherstripping on!!..it seems that piece gets missed on nearly every truck you see.

Didn't Brad have a Bronco similar to that one ?

 

[DNFXDLI]

Think so Mark.

Was this a factory color option? Never seen it before, but a cool rig for someone looking for all original and unmolested.....I might even have considered it, but I love the restored feature where the engine and underneath are cleaner and such....engine and tranny have been rebuilt, etc.

Still a nice rig...lots of dough for it, he's asking.

Oh and like most nice dents, it's in the northwest!

Another nice (not lifted) original rig from the Northwest:

A friend of mine bought one new with that color combo.
It was stolen 8 months later and never recovered.

 

[LEB Ben]

My old man had a 79 Bronco with that color scheme.

The tires sticking so far out just looks WRONG....what's the purpose of that? Is it supposed to be better for rock crawling or mudding or something?

Wide tires usually let you float up on top of the mud and skinny tires let you cut down to fresh dirt.

 

[m78]

Those are not the original axles. They're much wider Rockwells.

The sad part is...a set of Rockwells is cheaper than trying to put the original axles back in.

That is a VERY nice truck. I actually like the updated steering column.

26k and they still couldn't get the hood/fender/cowl alignment correct. Beyond that, looks sweet. Seller definitely knew how to market it with the pics and buzz words/name dropping. You don't see very many 25k+ dentsides, that's for sure.
