8RON6O Posted October 29 Posted October 29 Hey there... Danielle from Austin, Texas. My old man and I just bought my dream truck (and his! As luck would have it) - a 1986 Bronco. I grew up around old trucks, old truck people (tinkerers and pros), and owned a late nineties Jeep and Land Rover (never again!) but this is the first I can really call my own and couldn't be happier about it. 1986 Bronco, V8 302, Eddie Bauer, black. Last owner had the engine removed and resealed, added a 6" lift, plus some other smaller fixes, replacements and updates. Can list them if anyone would like. So, thankfully, she's rides great as-is but there's still a lot we can do. Not looking to get her show-ready by any means but it would be nice to spruce up the interior a bit... I'd love to find some replacement seats soon-ish, get a new headliner, replace parts of the dashboard, install a working radio, and maybe get the AC working before next summer -- not sure if it's worth it or not if we're keeping the top off most of the time. A cold blast of air to the face can be a game changer in this Texas heat. Would love some opinions on this. Very excited! Lots to learn. Looking forward to the journey. Thanks in advance for all y'all do here!
Gary Lewis Posted October 29 Posted October 29 Welcome, Danielle! Glad you joined. That sounds like a nice truck! (Started to say a "cool" truck, but if the A/C doesn't work in Tejas then it ain't cool.) You'll have to post some pics. As for your questions, it is best to ask them in a thread in the main section, or in Projects. Your call. But more people watch those sections than here. So you can start a thread about your Bronco and ask away. That way you'll know where to look for answers. Also, we have a map, which you can see in the menu at Bullnose Forum/Member's Map, and we can add you if you'd like. Austin is close enough. Who knows, one of us might be a neighbor and could help you. 1
8RON6O Posted October 29 Author Posted October 29 Thanks, Gary! I'd love to be added to the map. I appreciate the guidance. Where should I post pics?
Gary Lewis Posted October 29 Posted October 29 You are now on the map. And you are welcome to post pics in this thread or in other threads. You could post some here to introduce your Bronco, and then some as you ask questions. There are no rules and we are quite easy to get along with. 1
BigBrother-84 Posted October 29 Posted October 29 Hi Danielle, welcome! Glad you joined, not enough ladies here! So nice, this Bronco! Just curious, does (she? he?) have a name?
viven44 Posted October 29 Posted October 29 (edited) Welcome to the forum Danielle! Neighbor here from Dallas. I think I have seen that Bronco on Facebook. I'm sure the Bronco is a welcome change in the Tesla-ville of Texas 🤣 Edited October 29 by viven44

Just curious, does (she? he?) have a name? We're deep in the name game but haven't settled on one yet. I like old school like Betty, Darla, Daisy but nothing's felt just right yet. 1
