replacing rusty panels
#1
Im thinking about buying a 74 bronco and its seriously rusted. the bed, door jambs, fenders, tailgate all need work. how hard is it to replace these? I have done mechanical work in the past but never body work. I dont want a show quality resto done just a good job, am I getting in too deep? he wants 1100 for it and it seems to run decent other than some lifter tap. its a 74 block so im not sure about the valve guides and unleaded gas. what other things should i check out on the 4wd? locking hubs? the windshield glass isnt installed and needs a bracket welded in. I have access to welding equipment but no experience using it. thanks for the advice.
