1975 Ford Bronco

I own a Mustang restoration shop and one day a couple of years ago I was buying a Mustang and this was beside it so I bought them both. Just like a lot of people way too many projects. My wife loves this Bronco and wanted me to fix it up for her and I had all good intentions but it never happened. I did some research trying to figure out as much as I could on this and if there are Bronco experts out there and if I put down something wrong please let me know. It has Rust in all the normal places, most of the frame looks awesome but there is a spot pictured on the rear drivers side toward the end that has rusted through. All the other areas under the car look good I didnt see any problems. The rear floor looks good but up front on both sides it needs floors which are included. There are other areas on the car that needs attention and most of them should be in the pictures. I looked up the VIN and the tag in the glove box and it looks like in 1975 they made 13,200 which is the lowest number for all the early Broncos. The transfer case is a Dana 20, the front axel is a Dana 44 and the rear axel is a 9 inch Ford with 31 spline axels. This has the original 3 speed in it but someone put a different shifter in there and cut the floor. The rear gears are 3.50 originally and I didnt check them but I would say that is still likely what they are. The engine runs and sounds good. We had to put in a new starter and points to get it to run and just put gas in the carb but it started up and sounds good. There is no radiator and we didnt want to use gas out of the tank so it only ran for like 20 seconds and then we shut it off. This appears to be the original 302 2 barrel engine the Bronco came with. There are a few parts that come with the Bronco and they are in the picture. Someone has replaced and media blasted the rear tail gate and that is in good but not perfect condition, they also put good used doors on here and they look good but not perfect, the bottom lip is nice and I didnt see any rust in the outside of the door panel. It rolls very easy and we are happy to help anyone load the Bronco. I have more pictures on my phone and I am happy to take additional pictures if you like just give me a call. The passenger rear quarter is new and not welded in there. Both quarters and fenders have been cut for the flares and the big tires. Thanks Kevin Manley 612-275-8722
