Being a gear head from birth, like most of you, I have a ton of project trucks and have seen a ton of them enter my possession and then leave. I have a few major ones, my bronco is my personal favorite truck and at this point the longest lasting one.
Sloppy is a 1990 retired Forest Service Bronco, 302 with a 5 speed that I saved from the crusher at my dads tow yard way back when.
When I got it, she was in bad shape (she still is but its getting better)
tons of stuff didn't work or was missing, power steering pump was gone, it had a breathilyzer that was bypassed in the most ghetto way imaginable, cluster was dead, the bushings in the trans were shot giving it its name, Sloppy
Floor boards were destroyed where the seat mounted, some time with a welder and a bit of fab fixed that
bolts for the stat were broke off
little bit of welder magic
I did eventually get the engine bay looking a lot better
It got an aussie locker
Reworked the front bumper and put a shiattybilt winch on it, and took it to moab
Ugly wheels and all
And then, real life struck, I moved, got hit with medical bills, sold the bronco
