Sweet, that's a nice looking ol' Bronco. Can't wait to see pics of it out wheeling.

Great vehicle! I've always liked those, haven't seen one for years, sadly they all rusted away a long time ago around here.
I know the feeling, buying a token from the past. I bought a 1981 Monte Carlo 2 years ago, only because it was spot on identical to one that I looked at when I was 16 and couldn't swing the squeeze. Mine isn't in as good of shape as yours, but I enjoy driving it, and pretending to be 16. I kind of kid myself that this is the car from back then, and although possible, it's not probable.
Sorry for the dark pic, I just took it.
