heres the old man himself, i grew up riding around with him in his 78 f150 and his 84 Bronco bouncying down trails and flying around the dunes. Then when my parents split he sold his toys around 1992 and really hadn't had anything to play off road with since. Looks like now he'll atleast be going back to the dunes this year.
The 302 is does not look orig at all, and has a heavy oil leak from the back of engine, looks like valve cover and intake. Has a 2 barrel on it. Runs strong and the C4(?) shifts strong. Has had extensive floor pan work and core support work. Doesn't look horrible, but def could have done a better job (the metal work that is) Interior is nice, Cage is ok, not reimpressed with the work but for what dad will do with it, it'll be good enough. I drove it and it felt a little unstable as far as steering, but thats to be expected. Has manual brakes and drum all the way around. This will be the first thing we'll address as far as mods go. Power Brakes and Discs up front. It has good power and was fun to drive around. Not sure on lift though, clears 35s with no rub. The top was a little rusty, thats getting removed and hes having it cleaned and repainted. He likes it, it'll be at my house getting some electrical love and some new gaskets. All in all not bad at all for $5500
