1978 Ford Bronco XLT Ranger Description

I just found out I am going to be moving soon and will no longer have the space for my long term project so he has to go. This project is a 1978 Ford Bronco XLT Ranger Trailer Special. I rescued this truck after it had sat inside a garage/barn for a very long time. I have been slowly bringing it back from the dead and planned on finishing it until I found out we are moving and will not have the time or space for the old Bronco. So it will be someone else's new project.
This is a neat old dentside and number 774 ever for the full size Bronco. Just the right amount of rust and crust to give the car guy in you that wrench turning lust!
Being a trailer special means it has auxiliarycoolers, front and rear sway bars, bigger rear springs, and a factory installed hitch. The truck is a project it will require you to install the new brake parts and I would also purchase new hard lines at least that was the plan before life decided to change it up. It will require you reinstall the replacement radiator, and install the replacement fuel tank and purchase a fuel pressure regulator to install before the carb.
I have replaced the fuel pump, power steering pump, battery, carburetor, tires, wheels, and some other misc parts and lines. I have the driver side hub tore down at the moment as I was replacing the brakes but now am going to reassemble it and throw the brake parts in the back for the new owner to finish.
The body has its weak spots that can be seen in the photos and there is a video I took but can't link per Ebay's policies but you can search youtube for4wn_zTPz3zY and the video will be brought up so you can see inside the truck outside the truck and under the truck.The truck is in barn find shape just needs someone to finish the wrench time needed to get it back into it's natural habitat of muddy trails with its top off.
This Bronco comes with spare parts. Included are brand new brake parts all the front hoses, rotors, calipers, pads, master cylinder, rear shoes, combi kits, wheel cylinders, wheel studs, and some other stuff can't remember off the top of my head.
It also includes a new heater core and blower motor. Fuel tank straps and a newer 33 gallon tank with one issue it is a fuel injected tank so it would need to be retrofitted with a regulator to make it work on a crab'ed setup. I have been running the truck off a gas can or coolant bottle when tuning the replacement carb.
The parts it comes with that need to be reinstalled are a front bumper, the bumperettes, and bumper trim. The 33 gallon fuel injection fuel tank, the fuel filler door assembly, 3G 130 AMP Mustang Alternator with wiring and a mega fuse. It will also include the swing away spare tire carrier, a new windshield washer fluid bottle, Driver XLT door panel, a broken passenger side xlt door panel for parts, driver seat frame with seat, headliner, headliner trim, a LincolnLS temp/compass rear view mirror, and etc.
