The story
I inquired about an excellent condition 1970 Ford Bronco Wagon that I had seen around my home town of Blissfield, MI. It was owned by Brian Duckworth who had brought it back with him from Washington State where he had purchased it 2 years prior. For a mere $1,500 I took it home with me, but it was far from where it needed to be to hang with the heavily modified Jeeps that frequent trails of northern Michigan and the Silver Lake sand dunes.
After driving the truck for a year I had a chance encounter with the downfalls of 1970's drum break technology, which caused my first rollover. I proceeded to ditch the flat black "Rat Rod Bronco" look and do all the body work in preparation for the PPG Chrome Yellow paint job you see on it to this day. After blowing the motor up in some deep Michigan mud and doing a mild restoration then rolling it at the sand dunes I decided I was done playing around and did a complete restoration. — dnevins
