Your sitting on a goldmine. Those old Broncos are cool simple and awesome. Cant wait to see your progress

Hard to go wrong with BFG KO’s. The look on your daughters face when you asked if they want to go for a ride. …priceless. & that’s a neat shed or “stable” for the bronco

Brought tears to my eyes, so glad your girls like the car, keep getting them involved where you can with it, and I love how it looks after its family wash. Nice slow burn project, and awesome content.

My dad had this exact truck. I remember being 5 years old and taking 14 hour drives in it to Quebec.

Comming over from watch Wes work

I like your dad's comment. Some pretty good helpers there.

I miss Indiana out there. Had my 400 rebuilt 2 years ago, it reached antique license, added 2 cherry bombs on it, and some mags. All I have to do now is convert the a/c and its good and updated!

The way I look at it, no matter what direction you choose to take with the old Bronco, it’s better than letting it sit and rot away somewhere!

I just picked up my late friends 78 bronco about two weeks ago have a video of it . thumbs up love the bronco

Fun little project. Thanks for sharing.

A guy told me once, no matter how poor/rusty/sick a 4x4 is, put decent rims and rubber on, some sap will love it and buy it. Good project, lol the girls jumped when the Bronco roared!

Ford guy, John Deere guy and uses only BFG AT ko... yep you my friend were raised right! Beautiful property you have aswell, the light colored gravel dark green grass and bright red/white barns make for a great picture! BUCK the BRONCO!

Neil… I’m gonna lay down a bet right now… Beast Pony is gonna be a fun ride! Those girls will need harnesses to stay in the saddle! You had plenty of help on this one… with the girls rolling you tires and washing it down… dad helping you change tires and advising you…. How could this not have been a success? Well, there is one thing that could spell doom. Let’s just hope you don’t regret leaving off the black tape!!! Watching you change tires brought me back to the summer of 1972… the Cusp of muscle car mania, full service gas stations and burning rubber just because you could. You see that was a year before the OPEC embargo totally changed how the US thought about their cars… because nearly everyone spent the summer of 1973 just staring at the lines of cars at the gas pumps. But, at any rate, one of my high school classmates took over his dad’s corner truck stop in summer ‘72. He’d worked there since he was a kid. I needed a place to hang out where I could pass the evening hours… and meetup with my like minded buddies. You see, all the mayhem of riding around town with the 8 Track fed, Craig Powerplay speaker amplified, rock music blasting out your windows… didn’t start until after sundown. So, his service station oil change bay turned into our evening hangout. There we helped him get the place organized so, that when his dad came in to open up for him the next morning… he wouldn’t catch Hell! Aside form generally horsing around… We patched and plugged tires, crushed all the oil cans, cleaned up the floors with Oil Dry, hung all the tools, etc. But there was one job that only he would do… It involved this Cadillac Sedan DeVille… black, brand spanking new, clean as a whistle & driven by a middle aged woman. She was always dressed in clothes that came from her boutique uptown. Dresses costing $100?or more and high heels that had Italy written all over them. She lived in one of those Victorian Mansions that lined the main residential promenade through town. She came by every other evening at 8 PM to get premium gas. She always pulled up to the pump right in front of the entrance door to the station. My buddy went out, popped the hood and got started. He checked the transmission fluid and gave hear a thumbs up. That was the signal to turn off the engine. Then he checked the engine oil, radiator reservoir and window washer… she seldom needed any of that added. Once he was done with that, he’d close the hood and start checking the tire pressure. He always did that starting at the front left tire. Then he proceeded clockwise to end up at the left rear tire. You see, that was where the fuel filler lid was located. And, on the 1972 Cadillac Sedan DeVille it was unlatched from inside. As soon as he put the valve stem cap back on, he’d look at her in the drivers rear view mirror. When her eyes met his, she’d pop the filler lid and put up one finger or two. And, with that signal he knew how big his tip would be for the day. You see, being a single widow and heir to the family legacy, ritual was in her genes! Appearances were everything. Relationships and social structure were her connection to the world outside her business and home. And, my buddy was one of the privileged few that were invited to play a role in making those connections. And for that, she always rewarded him. When she put up one finger that meant he should pump $1.00 of premium gas. Two fingers signaled $2.00. Which my buddy did. He then washed all of her windows, lights and mirrors. Did I mention that window washing had to be done with a clean chamois that he kept in his pocket just for this occasion? Once that was done, he’d approach the drivers door. Through the slit in her window he’d always say the same thing, “Thank you Miss Grace. Will there be anything else?” As she shook her head ever so slightly to signal no, she’d hand him an envelope with her payment. He’d then step back to the gas pump and watch as she pulled away and drove off. Once inside the station, he would open the envelop and deposit the four or eight quarters in the cash register. The remaining one or two quarters went into his pocket. That was his tip! The first time I saw the ritual, I was gob smacked. Here was this top of the heap social icon…. Driving a brand spanking new 1972 Cadillac Sedan DeVille… expecting full service… while buying a buck or two of premium gas… paying with quarters… and my buddy was proud to do it for a measly quarter or half dollar tip! I asked him about her and he said, “Miss Grace is a nice lady. She helped my dad get started.” That’s all he would tell me. My other buddies and I learned what Miss Grace’s schedule was and we made it a point to be in the service bay whenever she came. We watched the ritual and speculated on what made her tick. Two years later my buddy and his father were put out of business by OPEC and 7-11. The scarcity of oil brought on shortages that forced independent gas stations to close. The high cost of oil drove the pump price up so high, self service gas stations filled the void. And, Miss Grace? There was this upstart family business from Bentonville Arkansas that located a store in town. It sold cheaper and younger fashions. When Walmart came to town, she closed her family business. By 1975, the economy was so bleak, the fuel crisis so deep that Miss Grace sold her Cadillac Sedan DeVille. Her new ritual was to go to the country club three nights a week. How did she get there? I don’t know the exact ritual but, it involved my station attendant friend chauffeuring her there as a driver in the cab company that she started. Thanks to Miss Grace, he had a job and a certain social acceptance that no other Gas Monkey in town had earned. Neil, please accept my apologies for getting off the subject. I guess I got a bit lost. But here it is… there were hundreds of tire changers on the market when we lost full service gas stations. I wish I’d had the foresight to buy a bunch and warehouse them. Just as we will never see $0.24 per gallon gas wars… we’ll never see $10 pneumatic or $5 manual tire changers again! You are blessed to have access to one. I don’t even have a pair of spoons or a bead breaking hammer. My lack of foresight forces me to rely on the tire store that my former Gas Monkey’s son operates!

YES! Resurrect and relive! Keep the vids coming. We all love watching old iron be reborn.

I have an 89' blazer with the removable top I've been meaning to clean up one of these days. Taught my wife how to change oil on it awhile back. Its big and ugly, but man is it fun.

Thumbs up for the cat.

from the Netherlands thanks for the video Neil

I 100% agree on the white letter out with the bfg tires. That’s one of the best tires out there in my opinion.

Dang you like John Deere and the right kind of vehicles lol. My wife and I are still going through your playlist watching old videos. My first vehicle was a 79 F150 my dad gave me. I still have it. The first vehicle I bought myself was a 79 Bronco. I've had 2 79s and a 78. Now I just have my 79 F150 and a 97 F350.

I've been on one of your "test drives" in that beast, back when we were building "Pumpkin". What a ride!!!!!!

Nice old Bronco. 1979 is my favorite Bronco year, followed by 1983. -Chad #purplecollarlife

Love your little helpers , make sure you pay them , otherwise there out of there !!!

Fix that old girl up and use it for pulling the camper so much fun for the whole family 🤔👍

With your team of helpers, this will be an adventure worth a little more elbow grease.

Your Bronco...so much like Boss Garage...lol a beater with a heater... rehab time...!

Glad to hear you going to keep the Bronco around. When I had mine I had lots of fun in Hoeppners Woods

I'm glad I was able to get that air hose for you! lol Enjoy your camping trip.

@14:37 OMG!!! The most manly American thing EVER!

I had a 1980 Scout II that I bought brand new. I ordered it with the options I wanted and it was a real beauty. Over time it rusted out from just about every body panel on it. There were no patch panels available at that time and I didn't have time to work on it so I sold to someone who was going to restore it. I wish I still had the old Scout or maybe had the fore thought to try to store it somewhere. Now, you can't even find them and they are crazy money if you do. 1980 was the last year for the Scout II and it had the best running gear they ever used. Thanks for the video!

Last post I see on the Bronco, hope you’re going to make more.

cool project coming up .great.love that tire changer

This brings back memories of me 25-30 yrs ago. I have had 5 different 78-79s in the late 80s and 90s. 1 of them was rusty as bad as that one and the same color silver with black top. But I didn't care, built a stout 400 for it and 38 swamper tires and had a ball in the mud and on trails with it. Patch that bfg and tube it. I've ran around on worse when I was young and fearless. 😄 Edit: I see that's what you did when I finished watching. Have you done any more work on her? She deserves to be brought back to former glory.

Thanks Neil, I used one of those tire changers back in the 70's where I worked we used antifreeze for lube it was cheap then, now elephant snot is better.

It needs, it needs, it needs 😳😂, good luck with the project it’s going to be fun to follow Neil 👍🏻🙋🏼‍♂️

Love the old classics

happy your keeping it, it will be worth a lot in a few years

Good work very glad to see your girls like it as well that will be the most value I sold my very rough 78 several years back I replaced ti with a mint 96 Eddie Bauer my wife and daughters still miss the rumble of the 78 they liked it better than the newer nice one. Keep it take them out often in it often. Glad that you are putting the time in it and your girls

When you were carrying the Amazon package it reminded me of the movie “Castaway “ with the FedEx package.

I had an 81' Bronco and I wish so much I still owned it

Yay the kids love the Bronco you get to keep it for a while maybe,,it does have a fine sounding engine though

Let her ride on the patch. Great video. Enjoyed the camera work.

Great job love your videos thank you

Got a 83 I've had for 20 plus years I'm fixing to start on. Love the bronco

Glad you are keeping it around for a while, lots of great memories to made with it.

another documentary masterpiece ! I got some free time and still watching all your video ! I would detail Bronco with pleasure ! greetings from Poland

Looks like fun. I am doing an off frame restomod on my 79 Bronco. Can't wait to get it back on the road!

Paint it pink! Haha! Put some diamond plate over the rust, sure there’s tons of it at a junk yard to salvage. That thing is awesome. Glad y’all are going to have some memories with it again!

Can you put tubes in the tires? Enjoy your camping trip.

Love the old bronco s

In Mexico they fix sidewall holes with a patch.

I had a 79 Ford F150 pickup four-wheel drive with a 351m bored out to a 400

I am looking forward to seeing this project! Glad to hear you will be keeping it around.

what a Beast !!! 🔥🔥🔥

I'm the only guy I know that never owned a vehicle that I wish I had back 😂 I would probably try to glue that hole shut and then put a tube in that tire.

Awesome! I have a 78 Bronco XLT I've had for 42 years! Black w red interior. Factory quad shocks up front. 33 BFG inch tires. Bench seat (kinda rare). Truck was beautiful for a long time. Always had people wanting to buy it from me. Michigan weather taking a toll on it now though. Even now, I get people wanting to buy it for restore projects. Almost sold it last year to a Father and young son who were looking for a Bronco to restore together. Couldnt do it. Too much sentimental value. I'm planning a complete restore in the near future with a nice 500 inch BBF under the hood.

75for the ole tire changer is awesome deal especially when you look at the cost of tire changes today

Good job man

Have fun Camping!

That'll be a fun project!

That’s cool Machine

Awesome video ❤

Bronco brings back great memories growing up! You can put a tube in that tire with the patch for additional strength since your not going on the highway. Also use degreaser instead of liquid soap. The degreaser is slippery at 1st but, sticky when dry for a better seal. Enjoy your channel

Hey Neil I loved that story of vernier with his 317 and how it’s yours now.

Funny I didn't see this video before commenting on the last one about getting the girls involved. Way to go Dad... I'm sure Mom don't care. LOL That childs face was Awesome!! when you said going for a ride. Do you have more videos of the Bronco?

Make a playlist for this one please 😅

I would have put a tube in with the patch and mounted on the steer axle! 🙏

Built a 1978 Custom. It’s on my channel. Ok back to the video

fix er up and keep it....the girls will love it when they are older

Nothing against the new jeep but the bronco still looks better 👍🏻

"What should we name the Bronco?" Why, Billy of course 😁

Buddy the bronco

Neil, I bought a nylon duck bill off Amazon for my tire changer, drilled a single hole in my tire iron, used a 5/16ths bolt, and turned my tire iron into a touch less set up. It was like $20 I think. It works really well man.

Old school, put a tube in it. lol

Gotta let your veiwers know if you head to the dunes. Im 45 minutes south of the dunes and would definitely be interested in meeting you!

I would fix it up and keep it

Looks like someone is hoping for a free set of BFG ATs... Hopefully someone who can hook you up sees this.

I named my bronco tropicana

👍🏼👍🏼

Put a tube in it also

You going to do the body work too? all Fords rust ,am sure a little bailing wire will do the trick, right??

What did you do with bronco?

Was this the last video on the Bronco? I had high hopes you'd show some progress. :-)

Just sell it to me and I’ll road trip it home to Tennessee 😂

I want that tire machine!! Any name or model left on that thing i can search for!?

put a tube in it

Why don’t you run a dedicated line to your shed then running a extension

What is the latest with the bronco?

Keep on fixing

You should name it bronco and donks

You can't patch a sidewalk I don't know why but maybe you can get away with it

Waisted too much video on changing tires

Seems like a waste of time

I like the black on silver

Yep them bfg's are a TOTAL WAST!!!!!!!!!
