Very cool thread guys! That tundra machine sounds like a cool story. Up until I heard that it ended up on the bottom of the ocean floor.

It was last visited in 1958. Not cost effective to bring home it was left behind but, it was up for free if you removed it from there. A few links for you!

Hey 68,69K20, thanks for the plug!!!! My brother and I own the brown and white 73 Bronco at the bottom of your post. That photo was from the second of three magazines it was in. That was in the Dec 2000 Collectible Automobile. It was also in the spring 97 Open Road and later in the May/June Motor trend Classic. It currently has only 48,000 original miles. It recieved only a cosmetic restoration.

You have to post pictures of that Bronco. That is pretty rare to see a Bronco that year and it still be all original. Very nice.

Wow!!! I was doing an image search on google for broncos and came across that one.

3 magazines, very cool...Got any more pics?

Jtrux · 12-02-2008, 10:44 PM

I have a 1979 Ford 4x4 shortbed

**special-K** · 12-03-2008, 07:53 AM

My brother-in-law (& friend) bought a sweet brown w/white `77 Bronco Explorer (didn`t they have that package?) back in the mid-80s.It was unusual to see one that wasn`t rusted and even more unusual the rear wheel openings were still uncut.It still had stock hubcaps and whitewalls.I was proud that he left the wells stock,ordered 16" stocker wheels and ran tall skinnies.He should have kept that thing.

partyncwby · 12-03-2008, 01:00 PM

My Dad had a sweet '72 or '74 (can't quite remember) Ford bronco. All original uncut. Had less than 80,000 miles on her. White top cinnamon body. I come over to his house one day and there's a bunch of guys looking at it in Dad's driveway. He had decided to sell it and hadn't said damn thing to me. He let that bronco go for a song. Getting a little P.O. thinking about it now.

I want one of those soooooo bad I can taste it. Honestly, if a bronco had been up for sale before I saw my blazer, i'd be on a bronco site right now.

DirtyLarry · 12-03-2008, 07:14 PM

I am partial to old Dodges.

DirtyLarry · 12-08-2008, 10:12 PM

Oh, if you like old Power Wagons you have to see this! Even if you don’t, you still need to see this video. This is amazing.

That is the coolest Power Wagon I have ever seen, I want one!

**special-K** · 12-03-2008, 10:22 PM

I like these short bed crew cabs:

**zeusflash** · 12-03-2008, 11:02 PM

I have the magazines around here somewhere. I will try to find them a scan them to post. I live in Idaho and my brother and I did that truck while I still lived in So Cal. He has the truck in his shop otherwise I'd go take some pics. It was a fun project and a great truck to drive. It is a Ranger,automatic(1st year),power steering.limited slip rear,HD rear springs and 302. It had an awful red paint job on it when we bought it. We discovered the Ranger stripes when stripping it for repaint and dedcided to go back to original. No rust,modifications or body damage!

**zeusflash** · 12-03-2008, 11:34 PM

Found the magazines, scanned them now just need to resize them. Should be here soon.

**zeusflash** · 12-03-2008, 11:49 PM

OK,think this will work! These pic are from the spring 97 Open Road.

**zeusflash** · 12-03-2008, 11:57 PM

1st pic is from May/June 2006 Motor trend classic,2nd pic is from December 2000 Collectible Automobile and the last one is a press release issued for the 2001 Fabulous Fords Forever car show when the Bronco was a feature vehicle. This Bronco also won the first annual Bill Stroppe trophy at this show in 1996. The cosmetic restoration was done to make the 30th anniversary celebration at the 1996 show.

**special-K** · 12-04-2008, 08:57 AM

Yeah thanks!I`m glad to see you all jumping in with great pictures.
And,that`s just how my brother-in-law`s looked,color and all.I wish I coulod scan and print some old pictures and magazines I have.

This shortbed has a 300 in it:

I like the 78/79 Broncos:

**special-K** · 12-05-2008, 06:39 AM

How about Wagoneers and Cherokees?

I really like this one:

And this Cherokee:

Too bad they were such Edsels when it came to parts.These are the classic of classic bodies.That 1st one is a`90 and the body started in`63,I believe.A friend had a`70 with a 327/TH350 from factory.

abebummy26 · 12-05-2008, 09:39 AM

Wish I had pics of the 61 cj5 I rebuilt in Machine Tool my senior year. Tim your old truck reminds of a 57 factory 4x4 Chevy that ran around the town where my parents live until the mid 80s. Some of the guys around town told some awesome stories about that old truck. Now its sitting in a barn waiting for its turn to be restomodded. Its got a hole for the sun roof they talk about it being blue way back when. They bought a 57 1 ton cab for it that is original paint. Its a step side to.

abebummy26 · 12-05-2008, 09:43 AM

Thats a pretty sweet Cherokee SJ to I always like the 2 door versions of those, and I love gun metal grey. He needs to swap out the grill to the early 60s one though.

68,69 K20 · 12-05-2008, 10:13 PM

Really diggin this thread, brings back alot of fond memories as a kid riding in some of these great machines

One of my first memories as a little tyke was helping my dad collect firewood in a beat up old Jeep FC.

Came from a Jeep family, had a bunch of CJ's but I really like the Gladiator series...
