Looks to be pretty solid. But what happened to the tops of the fenders? The paint went away lit it was hit with brake cleaner.

Yes the tops of the fenders are toasted! Could be years of high desert sun.

Interesting that it got the tops and not the sides. I guess that as the sun gets up the tops are always getting hit and the sides aren't?

My F150 was doing the same, although it wasn't near as bad. It was as if the paint was melting away. I've seen it happen on plenty of these trucks, especially if they sit in the sun.

Interesting. It looks like it has the TOD 4spd w/OD. I thought that was a 2wd only transmission. I don't think I have seen one in a 4x4 Bullnose before.

Don't see plain Broncos very often...300/6 with manual trans and rubber floor covering. I know it has AC and all, so it's not a complete bare bones truck, but it's definitely a fairly base model.

I'd rock it!

Bare bones base model, but it does have sliding side windows!
Never actually seen these in person, I'm jelly!

I don’t remember seeing sliding windows either, not sure I knew they existed.
