As y'all guessed I'm new to the boards. I am a United States Marine, stationed in Fort Worth, Texas. I recently acquired a 1982 Bronco with a 351. I guess you can say acquire, we are supposed to try to get it running and sell it for a woman that gave us 4 vehicles for free. Depending on what it is gonna take to get this ready for the road, I might keep it myself and build it. I have always wanted a FSB on 35's. Prepare yourselves for some dumb questions, as I'm not well versed in the world of Bronco's. I am more of a minitruck guy. With all that being said, here is the only pic I have of the bronco right now. I will get some more in the next few days.

Here is what I mean when I said I am more of a minitrucker. This is my daily driver. 1969 Datsun 521

yeah, just a little bit. Although the Datsun doesn't do as well as some would think. It has 4.65:1 gears behind a 4 speed, therefore I turn anywhere from 4000-4800 rpm's at highway speeds.

No it's oxidized brown. I think at one time it was two toned tan and brown, and they had it sprayed all one color. There is no clear on it, so it looks flat.
