My credo
The fun begins where the pavement ends
That is beastly, reminds me of the old 78 bogger in the paint shop at work right now.

I would keep the old girl and do the repairs to keep her up and running. I love the 70's Fords. My first 4x4 was a 79 Bronco that had a 400M C6 auto in it. Ran 33's on stock suspension and beat it to hell and back. Alot of :beer: and mud ..........the good old days.
