I bought it back!

[1985 Bronco]

Some of you may know, I used to own a 1985 Bronco. I sold it 2 years ago so I could buy my Centurion. Here's my build thread over on FTE: https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1322616-1985-bronco-build-thread.html I will be fixing the dead Photobucket links soon.

I bought it back tonight for $250. It is missing the engine, transmission, transfer case, exhaust, radiator, driveshafts, dash, tailgate, driver's door panel, and hood latch. Tossed the extra set of wheels I had on there. Tires are 31s, and are junk. The whole truck has been sprayed with cheap black bed-liner, and the topper was painted tan. Holes were cut in the body (including a spot that I patched) for the exhaust, and diamond plate was bolted on. The passenger side rear wheel well was cut out, driver's side was left alone. Currently on the hunt for a tailgate, so I can seal it up from the elements. Storing it at a friend's house. I'm going back tomorrow to look at it in the daylight and take better pictures.

What are your plans for it? Are you going to rebuild it?

Is there sentimental value in it?  It's obviously going to be a lot of work and expense to put it back, but I know you have the skills.  Do you have a lot of the needed parts?

[NotEnoughTrucks]

Looks like you are bringing it back from the dead a 2nd time.

I've got one waiting it's turn as well.

[1985 Bronco]

I would like to put a 460 back in it. It does have some sentimental value, I put  lot of time and money into it when I owned it, and I daily drove it for over 2 years. The only parts I have are 1 tailgate hinge, the front bumper, and the wheels. I need everything else! I am looking for a F250 or F350 parts truck with a 460 right now. I could just get a F150 parts truck, and throw a I6 or small block in, but I really liked having a 460 before!

Gonna be a lot of work, but I'm anxious to see how you do it.  

Will it be carb'd or injected?

[1985 Bronco]

It is going to be carb'ed. I would prefer to have a C6 again too, but if I find a cheap parts truck with a 4 speed, I might just use that. This will be a budget build for now, I might try to fix up the body later...
