This ‘68 Bronco is a strong running Bronco, with many of the big ticket items already purchased.  Great as is, or as an easy restoration project.  I have been told the motor is not original, and best I can tell it is a 302 from a 1968 Fairlane.  Regardless, it runs strong.  The transfer case works, drips a little, but works great - never any issues.  The transmission was rebuilt a few years ago.  It does look like at one point someone welded a front and a back bumper on, then used a cutting torch to remove.  Anyone with any welding experience could make quick work of this if desired.  Nevertheless, the frame has been cut on a little at these points.  Please refer to the pictures in this regards.  The frame VIN matches the glove box tag, so I am certain they have been together since day 1.  There is a very small amount rust for a 46 year old truck.  The tailgate has some rust spots and some bond work, but nothing major.  The door posts are solid.  The Bronco was painted black when I bought it back in November ’06.  It was originally “Peacock Blue”, and I had an $700 Econo job done.  It is exactly that - a $700.00 paint job, but I get a lot of positive comments.  Definitely a head turner, but it =is chipping off a few places.  The interior has been “rhino lined” for protection.  One good thing about the ‘68s - when you have the top of, the window frames unscrew and slip out, to give a clean look.  Steering box has been rebuilt, but to me, seems a little sloppy. The tires are not a major brand name, but still have about 90% of tread left.  It came with the original hard top that a PO mounted a luggage rack on, causing it to leak bad. I removed the glass and aluminum trim, and trashed the metal.  I do not recommend driving past speeds of 55 until the steering is tweaked.  The brakes could stand to be re-done, they work, but pull a little to the right.  It seems once the it gets wormed up good, it quits pulling.

FAQs:

Does it run? Yes.

Does it leak?  It has a few leaks, nothing major.

How is the electrical?  It’s there.  The battery is better than any battery I have ever owned....always has cranking power, no matter how long it sits.  It does look like the harness was replaced with, best I can tell, a Centech harness.  The only issue I really notice, is some of the time one of the turn signals doesn’t work, and they do not shut off by themselves.  This is a plastic part inside the steering wheel that is broken but easily purchased and replaced.  It does have a new voltage regulator on it.

How does it drive?  Like a ’68 Bronco with 3.5“ lift kit and 33” tires.  It actually drives decent.  My wife drives it more than I do.  The steering may need some tweaking, but it drives decent.  I do not drive on the interstate.    

The one time I took this Bronco off-road, I was riding in a shallow creek bed, slid on the algae covered limestone and hit an embankment that crumpled the front fender, and messed up the grill.  I then managed to tear up the rear-end.  So......I had a new Auburn rear end put in, and replaced the grill (winning bidder will also get the original grill), and pounded out the fender and put it back on.  An expensive day for me.

I have many extras to include parts for the spare tire rack, fiberglass door inserts for the roadster look, protective cover, Sony stereo, chrome bumper, dash pad, shop manual, side reflectors, grill letters, hard top glass, and aluminum, roadster mirrors, and more.  

I would make considerably more money parting out, but I can’t do it - this Bronco is too solid to break apart, and money is not my motivation to sell.

I hope to try to add a link for a video at some point.
