I bought it for $350.00 from a member in Virginia.

It's a 1984 Bronco II XLT. It has a rear opening window in the rear hatch, bucket seats from a newer B2, a freshly rebuilt C5 transmission, a 302 V8, and a 3-inch body lift.

The motor knocks and needs rebuilt.

I was going to rebuild the 302 in TRS-1 for more power since I'm adding bigger axles and tires and felt guilty since it already has a good motor. Now my plan is to take the 302 out of TRS-1 and replace the motor in this B2 with it.

I won't be taking the B2 off-road. My goal is to build something nice that I could take to shows.

ok... so you've got a little interior work to do. but the body looks to be in good shape!
 
I want to replace the doors. There's quite a bit of rust at the bottom.

I would like to convert the front to a Gen II.

I need to fix some rust in the quarters between the wheelwell and doors.

I'm hoping to get Zman to re-upholster the seats.

Needs a new carpet, headliner and a console.

All the interior plastic is in good shape.
 
Great find! You will love it!
 
I agree w the gen 2 front end. They look nicer. The truck looks pretty clean, good find.
 
Sweet. Cant wait to see where this goes.

Engine bay pics??
 
I suggest you replace the back hatch also. i have one that is in excellent shape and it dosnt have that annoying flip up window and ill trade you straight across. i will even pay shipping for both.
:taunt:
 
Looks good! I had a 84 bronco II Eddie Bauer as my first vehicle. I've always like the gen I front end on bronco IIs but for some reason I like the gen II on rangers. cant wait to see it all fixed up, you don't see to many in car shows around here
