ArdWrknTrk Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 SOOOOO..... I have located a 1984 Bronco 4x4 XLT, its two tone tan it appears to be relatively rust free, 4speed manual transmission and 351w HO engine, completely stock untouched here in SC. Rose wood interior, power windows and doors. I will have pictures when I get home. I am going to call him in the morning and possibly make arrangements to bring it home. That's exciting Danny! I hope it lives up to its tout. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Running Boards Upgraded bumpers Paint looks pretty good interior is a bit chalky, needs some work but is doable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The manual transmission is a big plus in my book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am texting with him now to find out if it is road worthy as I have no way to transport it if it is not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to him the truck is solid. He drives it frequently. The only issue is the brakes are a bit squishy and need to be bled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's good! Much better than the dealer shared photos of the burgundy Flex with Bill Voss a page or so up thread. Check the rubber lines for expansion and cracks while someone else pushes the pedal. This is often a contributor to a soft pedal, and no amount of bleeding will fix old rubber. Brake issues are usually worth doing everything once, so you have a good baseline and know it is safe. Of course you don't see the road salt we do up here, but I've recently changed my hoses, rear brake lines, shoes, wheel cylinders, parking brake & drum hardware, pads, sliders and Z springs.
