The story

Driven on 1 tank for a few years, then abandoned when the 2nd tank gave out. Given to another owner who planned to fix it, but abandoned it in the woods for a few years. Given to a 3rd owner who planned to fix it, but abandoned it in the woods for a few years. Sold to me. I drove it home before stripping it down for thorough repairs. Then Frank bought it while his '75 Bronco was getting some P&B repairs. Later, it became his sons' first vehicle.

Now, it's mine again, with USB power/voltmeter on the dash, 2KW inverter, 5 new 235/75R15 Cooper AT3 tires with internal TPMS, reman head, low-profile across-the-bed tool box, K&N drop-in, most lights LED, DOT-legal projector 1-piece headlight housings, Kenwood KDC-X998, EasyLift tailgate assist, & more. · Steve83
