I have been looking for a Bronco from the 60's or 70's. I think they'd be easy to work on and they seem to hold their value. Any body else got one or want one?

The early Bronco's are really nice but generally speaking expensive to get a good one. The 2nd gen can be had for reasonably prices and if you get one from the SouthWest you can find them in pretty good shape cosmetically.
I'd sure like to have one, but not enough to pay the ridiculous prices people are asking for them...
Really, I can see me picking up just about any year Bronco, except maybe 1980. Supposedly the front suspension was kind of in transition from the live axle/coils in '78-'79 to the TTB in 1981 and later. I guess...

Here is my '88 on 42" Iroks - now sold. The TTB and all the extra emissions crap on the motor was a pain but I am a solid axle and carburetor kind of guy.
Should have spent the money to build on 66-77. I would probably still have it.
I actually have a '95 Bronco, like the one in my avatar. Same color and everything. I'd like one of the early ones too, but I need to finish the one I have before I add a second project.

Here is my 67 military bronco. In the process of putting it back together. Just gotta put both door windows back in and winch on and she will be roadworthy
I rolled my 1970 Bronco when I was in my 20's. The early Broncos look great, but the short wheel base can get away from you quickly. I now drive a 1992 Bronco when hunting. More stable, more comfortable, climbs and descends better than my 70. The only thing missing is a solid front axle.

I have a Bronco II which is about the same wheelbase and width. That thing really gets squirrely in a cross wind. It's not too good on ice, either. It's too short and narrow for good handling.

Did you break much front end stuff with tires that big?

Yep, I've always wanted a '74 EB.. If you guys really like the EB's, you've already watched this. KDK, sorry about the "it's a jeep" thing in the video...
