ha ha ha no the taco/bread truck was extra though that would make a killer tow rig.
BajaBronco13's new addition to the stable

I found this Bronco on ebay. I waited until the last 20 seconds of the auction and still got outbidded. I had spent the last few days before the end of the auction corresponding with the seller. As luck would have it the winning bidder was a flake and seller contacted me. The truck was delivered to me in the OC from Hesperia today. Nice that I didn't have to make that 200 mile round trip.
I'm really happy with this new Bronco. It's a 1995 XLT all blacked just like my current Bronco. The only difference is that my daily driver has tan interior and this new rig has grey which is one of the reasons why I purchased this ride.
Here are a few stats:
1995
5.8 with 79,000 original miles
One owner
vehicle is in awesome condition, check it out.

Future Plans:
Mount my Solo Motorsports gear (radius arms and beams) I was saving for my Class 3 build. Deavers and Solo shackles.
Cosmetic:
Limo tint all the way around. Have the entire truck detailed.
Oh by the way, the seller knocked down the price by $500.00 if he could keep his wheels. He sent the truck with a nice set of rusty rollies, lol.

So here is a little background info. Of course I wasn't even looking for another toy. I have too many vehicles as it is especially after I picked up my brother's 1954 Chevy five window pick up truck but I got a link from Tony (damn you Tony, j/k) so I thought I'd give the guy a buzz. I had jury duty yesterday and was let go in the afternoon so thought I'd drive over. Had some cash in my pocket and thought I'd take a look for sh-ts and giggles. I talked to the owner, went out for a drive on it on the freeway, looked it over and made a deal. Got a schmoking deal on it.
The Good:
351W engine swap, originally a 302 in it (that's the owner claims, I'm sure the vin will shed some light on that).
C6, just rebuilt earlier in the year, owner supplied a stack full of receipts and the rebuilt tranny receipt was included
Cut and Turn beams, look like they are stock width but it has a truss on the front
9" rear end
2.5 14" Bilstein coil overs with shock towers (no engine cage tie)
Beard seats, 2 low back seats
6 35" tires, 4 BFG with 85+% tread and 2 Procomp tires near new
Headers, appear to be JBAs but not sure
The Bad:
Stock radius arms
Vehicle spent a couple of years in Seattle so hood and roof have surface rust
Windshield has a crack on passenger side
small leak coming from the valve covers, maybe just a gasket is all it needs
Driver window motor is not working, easy fix
And finally the truck just needs a good cleaning.
Here is some more info I got on the truck. Apparently it was built by a fabricator/racer (name escapes me right now) who raced a Class 8 truck. Previous owner wanted to build a prerunner and started working on this bronco. Got as far as he did and then decided to sell it. The owner I bought it from owned it since 2002 and said he has put less then 20k miles on it as he has two other vehicles and just never really had a chance to drive it.
My plans:
Slap on my Solo Motorsports radius arms
Mount my Autofab fenders and hood

Pick up some 2.5 smoothies for the rear and maybe slap on my Deavers.
And call it a day.
