I was given a 1993 Ford Bronco. our friends dad passed away. They tried to get this truck home to Portland from Pacific City... but it overheated on them. They thought they would call a scrapper to pick it up.. My wife stepped up and said " Dave would probably take it... he could do something with it I am sure". It was agreed that I pay each member of the estate one dollar for the truck,, hence,, 7 Buck Truck.
On the Day of our Sand Lake Run,,, Zac (popeye) and I went to check it out.. took out the thermostat and tried to start it.. Dead.
Went back the next thursday... brought a battery.. started it .. drove it up on the trailer and brought him home.
Replaced the thermostat and fired it up again... after pouring about two gals of water in it... seemed fine... and has not heated up one time. Runs so good that I had to watch the voltage meeter on the gauges to tell if it was still running at a stop signal. Passed DEQ with flying colors.
Needs TIRES BAD... anyone got any decent 31 or 32 x 15" tires they want to sell, trade,, or donate to 7 ?
I waxed it up... and it is beautiful.. not hardly a scratch and only a very small dent 50 cent size on right rear. Truck has the 351W engine, automatic, manual hubs and shifter for the 4x4. Has the tow package,, chrome package,, and air conditioning. Enterior is sparse.. rubber floor, plastic door panels,,, and no headliner.. ( perfect for 4x4.).
!st pic is the Before Pic.. Just after driving it up on the trailer.
Next is the interior shot
And next two are after a good polish and wax job... oooo shiney.
