Hello friends, Bronco enthusiasts, and internet lurkers (Trolls are not welcome albeit inevitable). Welcome to my page detailing the restoration/modification of my fathers ’71 Ford Bronco, affectionately referred to as ‘The Bronc’.
My father, Robert (Bobby), purchased this Bronco in the late ’90’s with the intent of restoring and enjoying it for the rest of his days. However, as with many things in life, for one reason or another ‘The Bronc’ never was finished. After 25 years and having only driven it roughly 700 miles the entire time he owned it, dad has determined he’d prefer a little more money in his retirement account over an unfinished Bronco in the driveway.
I invite you to follow along as I build a Bronco my father would be proud of. I’ll post regular updates as the project progresses. I’ll detail my experiences adding aftermarket equipment. I’ll ask you questions and seek your advice, plus – I will even give you all a suggestion box so you can give unsolicited advice or answer questions I’ve not thought to ask. Once complete, I will put it up for sale with every penny going back to the man who gave me everything he could as I grew up.
