Your best bet is buy them on ebay. I just bought 2 in very good condition for $15.00 I seen them in my LMC catalog for about $45.00 each.

That is a cool looking Bronco......but I was going to say its a "Bronco that only a mother can love"!

Anyhow.....whats up with the "TRAILER SPECIAL" emblem. I never heard of that designation for a FSB before....????

I got a nice horse emblem on Ebay for about $5.
I love seeing how far your Bronco has come from when it was first sitting (grill hanging off, no belts), kinda looks like mine when I got it. It's a great feeling when you have it looking nice, running nice, and KNOWING that you are the one that got it there. Awesome. I look forward to seeing it get better and better. (Looks like an '80 or '81, awesome)

From what I am told that trailer special emblem is rare and was only on a couple of years of broncos. One guy told me not to loose them because I will never find a replacement.

I will have to check out e-bay. Thank you for the encouraging words. From the way the others sounded I should just give up. It is good to know someone else injoys that feeling too:beer It is an '81, for a while I thought it was an "80 and then I got to looking at the emmissions sticker and it is an "81

The only ones I can find on e-bay are for a Bronco 2 will those work or are they smaller?

You sure do have a lot of work ahead of you, but you will know at the end what was done and that it was done right. I notice you have the factory roll bar too.

Is that a factory roll bar? I thought it was aftermarket.

I looked at that LMC Truck and they want $50 each for those bucking bronco emblems. I guess I will be checking out the junk yards.

Yeah, I love continually fixing little things here and there and slowly seeing the truck comes to life. It's a great sense of accomplishment. Just be glad it's an '81 (I have an '81 too) and not an '80. There are some differences between them and since they only did things for one year on the '80, parts are a lot more expensive for them and much cheaper for the '81.

The roll bar was a factory option but keep in mind that it specifically states in owners manuals that they are for LOOKS ONLY and serve no purpose in a roll over. They're there to add to the appearance when the top is taken off.

I think the Bronco II horse emblems are the same except that some years or options have black horses, which, might be kinda cool. I think they're identical otherwise. If not, just wait a little while, they'll show up on Ebay. I had to wait a bit to get some for mine because they were missing, but when they showed up, I only paid $5 for them.

Keep up with the pics, it's cool to watch it come along.
