Go easy on this one... act like you had to pay for it, then you will not be so inclined to tear it to hell.

yeah if i brake this one i dunno what im gonna do, maybe cut my rist, NOT i wouldnt think of that, but Im gonna take the body lift from the ranger to put on the bronco, and if the tires are half decent on the bronco, then the first thing im gonna buy is a winch, but if theyre bald, Ill probably get some tires first, but I dunno, cause me and dad is going to a tire shop at 8 am tomorrow and dads gonna bring in 5 of his tires from his 18 wheeler, and they throw out all there old tires so im gonna see if they got some 31's or 33's in there, if so then deffinetly a winch, but Im not gonna tell dad that i want the tires for the bronco, cause he dont know about the bronco, and if all goes well, he wont know untill he comes home from alberta in 3 weeks time and see's me gally-pantin' around the garden in a bronco.. I just cant wait to SNOW wheel, I used to be out wheelin the maxda every day of the winter when she worked! (except for days when she was buried higher than the roof and i had no idea where she was parked, literally, once i had to dig about 20 holes in the snow to try and find my truck, and the snow was up to the mirrors on dads big rig, now that was fun)

The Dude Just Emailed Me
The Bronco Is Mine For Free!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

hell Yeahhhhhhhhhhh Happiest Day Of My Lifeeee

I don't hate you. I got my Bronco II for -$191. Yup, the owner PAID to give it to me (DMV fines for lapsed registration).

But beware, there is probably a reason it's free (and a reason it was parked). Don't be too surprised if the engine is D E A D from several years of soaking in cracked-head. These days, almost for the cost of GASOLINE alone. It cost about US$1 per 5 miles just to drive it.

Alberta is a very long way to ship a dead truck. That must be over 3000 miles. I'm closer than that (more like 1500-2000, depending on how far north), and there is NO way I'd ship something from Alberta even if it were free. For the cost of shipping, you could buy one locally that works.

I think the owner lives in Alberta, but owns property near Boggin where the truck is.

Can't go wrong with a deal like that, if nothing else it is worth $200/ton at the local scrapper.

FWI, it is either a 2.8 or 2.9, thankfully they didn't mess with the four cylinder in BII's.

i've heard some rumors of them and the 89 b2 i used to have had a 2.3l emissions sticker that haden't been disturbed(factory not bodyshop)? i am glad it had a 2.9l though

haha yeah koda is right, the owner is from here but he went to alberta to work, like my dad, but he left everything home, (well except his underware!),
and no there isnt a reason its free, hes just a really good guy, hes only 19-20, and hes always used to be up to my house with my brother, and I even went offroading with him a couple times, ill get a pic of his truck for ya too, and he would give you the shirt off his back if you asked, and it hasnt been sitting for long, i just emailed him and asked him whats wrong with it, and more than likely nothing cause he always started it and since hes gone his mom used to start it for him, so yeah

 

[Boggin]

yea but its way up in his garden and I cant get a ride down there unless I walk and I cant cause I got bad knee, but I may bike down someday, or just drive my dirtbike down the road, but I got my camera lost now anyways , So Ill just use my moms if I dont have my camera by the time i get the truck

 

[Boggin]

update
he said the only thing wrong is the front U-Joints on the drivers side

 

[danger88ranger]

I never knew you had a B2 Rick. a 2.3 Liter, that would be really interesting...the best thing to have done would have beent to call Ford with the VIN and ask for a build sheet.
