I have a 77 Bronco. I am currently going through it and as far as money spent, it depends on what you want and what you want to do with it. A daily driver that would be "dependable" is going to cost a nice chunk of change versus one to be used at the camp. I had a '76 that would be considered a daily driver type and it had about $15k in it. The '77 I will be using at the camp and has about $10k in it so far.

I'm not a big fan of jacked up trucks anymore. I was when I got it because I wanted the biggest baddest nastiest truck around. Now I just want to not have to jump into my truck or look out the window to see if the roof is going to hit stuff.

Hot damn it's nice those 3 or 4 times a year that I actually need 350hp and 33" wooly booger mud grips

I'd like to have one with a small lift like a 2 or 3 inch with some 33" tires. There's a guy next to our tailgate that has a badass navy blue one.

No, not from here. Living here since last March while working in Bastrop. Actually live in Natchez. Where is this Darbonne Hills. If there are a few Broncos I may have to check it out.

There used to be a guy in Harrell road that had 8 or 9 in his yard. Last time I passed by, he didn't have that many.

One guy up in Sterlington has one sitting on the side of 165 for sale and must think it's gold lined. I've found a few around here but nothing that has caught my eye.

First, I didn't read the thread, but that's not a 77.

Second, they do not make a good daily driver. I can tell you anything you want to know about them.

Yes, it was. Too many low ballers over there. They want something for nothing. I decided to keep it and put a little money into it and leave it at my camp to use while out there.
