Hey im new to this community and I just got this 1984 bronco ii XLT from my grandpa, he had it just sitting in the sagebrush for quite a few years so it needs a little tlc, but it has 53k original miles and I was wondering what you guys think about it.

That looks like a really clean truck to just be sitting in the weeds. Take care of it!

In theory, theory and practice are the same. In practice, they are different.
It's all wrong for you. You should give it to me.

I plan on taking really good care of it, I’m not going to jack it up on big tires and beat it it’s going to be my daily for awhile and I plan to keep it as stock as I can.

The interior is in amazing shape as well even though I don’t have very good pictures of it.

It even came with a Furby in the dash storage area.

Also Curious as to why it has this above the ford emblem on the tailgate, is it just where it was manufactured or sold?

Toonces drives a Ranger . . . . just not very well.
That sticker is the selling dealership, perhaps even the one that sold the truck new.

Is there any original paperwork still with truck? Owner's manual, warranty card, etc.? If so, save it all.

You have a nice Bronco II. It looks to be in exceptional original condition. I hope that it serves you well; take good care of it and enjoy it!

Yes it has this in a ford envelope in the glove box
Seems to be everything that originally came with the bronco, and I plan to take really good care of it it’s not everyday you come across any vehicle in this condition especially a 84 bronco II.

Very cool!

In case you didn't know, your driver's door should have a Safety Compliance sticker which has a lot of info on how your truck was equipped. Look in the tech section on how to decode these. On my '84 Ranger the safety comp label is fading away, but still readable, especially in pictures. I'd suggest that you get some close clear pics of yours, for archiving.

It's good to see such a nice old truck in good hands. I'm jealous!

I might also suggest you start a separate thread and document all the things you do to the new rig. It will be nice to come back and look at it and have all of it in one place.

I'm a bit jealous too...
