My mothers side of the family owned a Ford dealership when I was younger, Bennett Ford in Chester Va. As an aspiring mechanic I had hopes of working there once out of school. Unfortunately, the business was sold out to Haley Ford in 1998. Well luckily enough my uncle ordered a 1998 F-150 XL reg cab short bed 4wd V6 and got it prior to the business being sold. It has been his up until yesterday when he gifted me the truck. 165k miles, all original no aftermarket anything. I picked it up in running driving condition with a dead inspection. Unfortunately as I have been planning a project with my 97 F150 4.6 manual 4wd this may slow that project a bit, but this will live in my driveway along w/ my 1969 Corvette my father left me until I die. Who could refuse!?!?!?!

Also apologies on the lack of utilization of the forum the Bronco II project/issues really got the better of me and I lost a lot of interest. I did drop it back off at the transmission builders yesterday on the way to pick up the new trcuk so we will see what happens from there..

I couldn't refuse...

You're gonna need a bigger garage. Glad to hear you didn't totally give up on the Bronco II... sometimes a break from things is what it takes to get a second wind.

Keep your mind like an umbrella, it only works if its open... Continually learning.
Congrats on the gift. I'm sure you will treat it well.
