Can We Drive an ABANDONED Bronco From its Grave? 18 Years Since Being on the Road!! - Part 1

Keep John I cracked up when he goes “I traced it” 😂😂

[@stoichiometry147]

Right!? That was perfect

[@morg52]

The floor of that Bronco reminds me of the 61 ford econoline van I had back in the 70s I was at an intersection waiting for the light to change. A dodge challenger pulled up along side me with a hot looking babe in the passenger seat. The guy revved up his engine and I revved up the straight six with the oil bath air cleaner. The light changed to green, the challenger peeled out, and I put the gas pedal on my econoline, through the floor!

[@BlueXonar]

John is my favourite "guest appearance" so far lol.

[@boxerboy179]

Thats so cool that you put diagrams on while your talking. Explains alot more on how things work !!! Nice job on the start solenoid diagram!

Kevin, some of us love to watch the clean up stuff. I'm a huge trash hound and have a house full of salvaged items. And watching you guys dealing with all of the gross stuff is pretty fun too. Also, I was expecting a ton of roaches but I guess it is too cold now? I would think that down in the pile roaches would be staying nice and warm.

[@thedungeondelver]

You should definitely hit up a scrap yard/landfill/recycling center and grab either a refrigerator or a couple of stoves to cut up for sheet metal and give yourselves floorboards; maybe get some angle iron and tack in a new cross-member.

That bronco has the same amount of rust and rot as my 77 k5. You gotta keep John around he really adds to the channel.

[@rwandersonut]

What's wrong with using a "C" clamp to hold the exhaust on? Bungee cords tend to melt.

[@SHUTTHEFRIDGEDOOR]

Nothing like a temporary permanent fix.

[@jeffberg8015]

JC Whitney Sells something called Clamp A Stud just for this purpose. I used one for my old F150 and it worked perfectly and lasted the life of the vehicle. A great solution for corroded or broken exhaust studs.

[@americanpatriot3638]

Westen champlin has been here!!! The C clamp is evidence!

[@erickmarkon9337]

Not going to lie but the passenger side manifold on my 74 f250 is held onto the motor with 4 bolts and 3 c clamps. Ford fed motors tend to snap all of the top bolts on the exhaust manifolds

Kevin, Your growing on me as the silly side is gone and just good goofing off humor has kicked in. Your very smart and by the way thank you for your service to the country, me, I got drafted. John just might be a good forth wheel, as he is easy going and seems to roll with what ever you throw at him. I'm being honest when I say that I didn't like your videos at first cause its like teasing a kid that is hungry. I don't know how to put it but watching you in the first videos till now has shown me that you are growing into a fine young man who should go very far in life. I kinda hope that the youtube blows up to a huge financial win and you don't have to pick corn for a living. Whats the fun in setting in a tractor and counting bunny kill at the end of the day or night as you farmers do work ungodly hours. I do sincerely wish for you absolute success in these adventures. I will be watching for part 2 or more of these and do wonder what happened to the cornstar junker that was way worse than it looked at first. I think if you saved that, then sema look out for a nicely restored bronco coming to you after a dang good rock climb.

hell, i slept in a snowdrift in my army issue mummy bag during reforger maneuvers in germany with 20 degree temps and was all toasty warm, so 40's in a hammock shouldn't be an issue for john. here's a useful tip, the flat sheet ceiling panels from inside of that old school bus are an awesome source for cheap, heavy sheet steel to repair the floors and body panels in the flintstone's bronco. a little hammertime, some self tappers, and a coat of spray on bedliner, and yer stylin. i've used them many a time, in fact the last bus i scrapped out i bought just to get the ceiling panels out of it. i still have a couple of them kicking around somewhere. they also make an excellent benchtop surface for that ratty old wooden workbench that everybody has in their garage. the main benefit is no more splinters under yer fingernails from trying to pick up small stuff off of yer bench.

[@richardcrouse9074]

@@thatmarred_mustang the Bronco was abused by mud and off roading. People don’t realize what mud does to a vehicle. Just think about it, slinging mud onto it is like wet blasting. Over time it wears away the paint and then infiltrates behind everything holding water and as the vehicle is driven the mud, with rocks, vibrates and wears away even more finishes. That’s why Broncos are usually rust buckets. Also the quarter panels for 78 and 79 Broncos were of a metal that was not widely used by Ford. The drive trains of the Bronco was fantastic but the bodies were abused by drivers having fun and not realizing what was being done to the Bronco. I will not put my Bronco through mud.
