This Bronco was purchased as an incentive for his son. Not any ordinary incentive but a very special incentive. An incentive to live. The owner of this truck is a teacher and his son was battling a brain tumor. He asked him if he lives, what vehicle would he want and an Early Ford Bronco became the topic of discussion. Some tense surgeries and recovery and his son pulled through so dad was now on the hook to fulfill his promise and the hunt was on.

They found this truck in a warehouse in GA, a conversation ensued and a deal was made. The happy owner took delivery of this truck and soon was a worried owner. The truck looked decent but it handled and drove terribly. It was plagued with mismatched components and that never works well. The owner met us at Bronco Super Celebration in Townsend, TN. We took him for a ride in the Duck and then let him drive it and he was once again hooked on what a Bronco could be.
The truck was brought to us for evaluation and a plan was crafted and then put to work. The truck was disassembled, the chassis was repaired and powder coated. New Duff 2.5” suspension was installed which turned it from a bucking bronco to a well broke pony. The previous owner had cut a huge hole in the hood for an air scoop and the new owner had difficulty seeing over the scoop so we were tasked with removing it. Once we attempted to get a match on the paint, because of the age of the old paint job, it would not have ever been a good match. We looked the tub over and in amazement we found it had absolutely no rust. This was a rare gem indeed.
