Maurice Posted March 2, 2022 Share Posted March 2, 2022 Hi, I acquired an '86 Bronco last year and have been slowly going through it to make it road worthy. Right now it needs new tires: but otherwise mechanically ok. Fixed a few leaks and replaced fluids and ignition stuff (spark plugs, wires, rotor and cap). At any rate, I'll post up more as I make progress, the plan is for refreshing paint, cleaning up the interior and making it reliable. Only 45k miles on the ODO, which seems realistic the drivetrain looks barely broken in. Cheers, Maurice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kramttocs Posted March 2, 2022 Share Posted March 2, 2022 Welcome! What a coincidence - some people call me Maurice * That's a good looking Bronco. Nice patina and no rust. Looking forward to seeing updates on it. *Sorry, I am sure you've heard that one enough times in your life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Lewis Posted March 2, 2022 Share Posted March 2, 2022 Welcome! Glad you joined. What part of CO? I ask because we have a map (Bullnose Forum/Member's Map in the menu) and we can put you on with a city or zip. Nice Bronco! You should start a thread in the main section to tell us all about it and what you do to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garland, 81133. Sure, I'll start a thread. Hoping to make some progress soon. Thanks again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been around it and through it quite a bit on our way to/from other places in Colorado. And we rode the Chama/Antonito train - as well as the Durango/Silverton one several times.

Great place to keep old vehicles. If you can stomach snowy and cold winters, and careful planning for grocery runs. I found a piece of a 1929 Chevy, a cylinder head, on my property somewhere in the back, how it got there... Stop by next time, be happy to share a cold one!

taskswap Posted March 2, 2022 Share Posted March 2, 2022 Welcome! Oh wow a fellow local and some overlap. We live north of Denver, but have land in Ft Garland so we're down that way a lot. I'm headed down to Florence tomorrow actually to look at a camper to pair with Rocky, our F-250 project. Nice to see you here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
