Dont sell it bro, it's a beauty. Not everyone truly appreciates them therefore they won't be willing to pay so much for them. You might not have the time at the moment, but your son gave it a name so clearly he likes it. Maybe that old bucket of bolts can be restored one day. You may not have the money right now, but it will come. Baby steps is all that it takes. Start out with the small stuff first. Make a schedule. No matter up long it takes, we all want to the that beauty restored
That's a man's truck. A truck for a guy who wears Old Spice, pays his bills on time, and loves his family and America and God and doesn't take any shit off anyone. My kind of guy.
omg...51k? thats a museum piece right there...that would have been a rare find in the 1980's...DO NOT CUT THAT THING UP!!!...that is a very very rare vehicle right there
You can't sell it!! Sell something else or push another project back.. Do what you can Roman! That's a beautiful and rare truck you have. You would break our hearts as well as your own to sell it. There's always a way!
The crazy thing is the 80's Bronco II was the revival of this vehicle. If they would have put a 5.0 and axles and drivetrain to match it too would have been legendary.
My 68 CJ5 had a defroster, and an amazing Buick V6. But no gas gauge. I used a broken broom handle that slipped into one of the tubes on the winch bumper 😆. The really cool part is it had safety ejection...you sat on the gas tank🤔😬😳😂
You would be a fool to part with it. My '69 is an exact copy of that down to the Meadowlark Yellow paint. Mine is the first vehicle I ever bought and have had it all these years. Would not part with it for anything. Not to be picky, but you have a left, rear side reflector on the right side; or maybe it is upside down. Awesome ride, keep it!
Keep it at all costs . You'll never have regrets "if only I hadn't sold (insert late model junk here) I'll never see one of those in that pristine condition again " . My daily driver is a 1978 Dodge Ramcharger. I bought it on a whim and ended up selling my 1999 Dodge Durango . No regrets and I don't miss the Durango .
+pwschuh . That is correct, however, the vacuum wipers are supposed to be hooked up to the fuel pump which had a vacuum chamber to keep constant vacuum on the wipers. Not the manifold, where it looses vacuum as you say.
+The Fast Lane Truck Can you please produce a video over the International Harvester Scout 2, there is not many really good videos on them. It would be amazing If you could! Thanks!!
+Payton Gregory I second that,. I would LOVE to see a few Scout II vids. I have always loved the Scout 2 IH and as you said there are not a lot of videos out there!
Video well done, thanks for sharing! Don't get rid of it, you won't find another 68' Sport u14 in that condition..........I'm getting ready to start the restoration of a 66' u14, not cheap but I can't imagine getting rid of it! :) Don't scratch that 66' front bumper either :)
These old trucks were equipped with vent windows for a reason. And you are old enough to know that. So why didn't you use them? The windshield would stay clear. Vacuum wipers are always problematic, but if the truck was in good repair, they would work much better. I have owned several International Scouts, and this video proves how superior they were. That said, With simple mods/repairs, and a driver that knows how to drive his truck, it could go most anywhere.
Don't sell it, sell the crappy YJ instead! I learned to drive in one of those in the late 70's when I was about 10, it was my grandfathers beater truck to scout deer trails and get logs. The floor was rusted out and the tranny was frozen in 4wd. I drove it all over the mountains and never got stuck, I only wish I could have got it when he died.
you make it sound so complicated, you don't need to keep it insured or on the road so, as you get time and money make it what you want and then put it back on the road! i wish you the best of luck! i would recommend getting new rims and tires for trailing so you don't risk breaking the originals.
Hey Roman. I hope you're able to keep the Bronco. You might never have a chance like this again. In the past, there were a couple of cars I got rid of, for one reason or another, and there are regrets. Heck, the Bronco makes a great companion to the Raptor SVT, and I'm sure your wife and mom can access it more easily than the Raptor. How do they feel about the "Billy"?
Keep it and drive it. Some bolt on fuel injection and modern ignition would do wonders for that little 289. I'm sure 15 minutes on the internet would have electric wiper motors on their way to your door too. That might be first if I owned it.
There comes a time when Old Iron should be Restored not modified. You got it, just sit on it. When you're ready, it'll be there. Like my cousin. In 1974 he bought from the original owner a 1970 stock Hemi Cuda. He has it in a locked steel quonset with a dirt floor, somewhere on his land. It's not for sale.
The 1968 model was the last year with vacuum wipers. And these vacuum units NEVER worked properly. In 1969 they started using an electric motor for the wipers. This wiper motor was installed on top of the windshield frame and part of the motor was visible above the windshield frame. The exposed part of the wiper motor was covered by the hardtop. Because of this, Ford claimed that all the hardtops from 1969 onward were "non-removable tops."
buddy you are sad that trail is nothing you city boys, im from northern Canada and grew up with old school 4x4s, they will go through much worse, only problem is they stall when the distributors get wet.
Yes, that's a Nice Old Bronc... But where's the CHALLENGE?? Where's the CLIFF?? That "Trail" is an Easier Drive than my Colorado Access Road and Driveway. And my Home is in an Established Subdivision!! Sorry, but Bad Wipers and Stalling Idle simply DOES NOT make it an "Off-Road Challenge". (And there are SO MANY Beautiful 4x4 Trails in Colorado that they could have chosen!!)
I love the idea behind this channel, however I find it a little bit hard to watch.. Driving through a mud puddle or over a speed bump is not really a drama filled event that requires dramatic input from the entire group to navigate. By no means is this meant as an insult but only as what I first thought when watching.. I kept looking for the " where's the danger" when someone would pause or become concerned.. and I was like.. .... umm..... mud puddle, mild hill, bump, tree.... maybe I missed the water crossing with water coming in the doors.. I will continue to watch, just some input from a fellow off roader.. well I used to... now I'm more the want to....

Jorge Ochoa Sounds like you are trying to stiff him :-) My guess is that as is it is probably worthy $7000. Even if you offer that to him he would not be wise to sell it.
So great seeing a stock Bronco wheeling. Stock hubcaps and all! What a beauty!
Old school tech with iffy tire goes where a lot of modern 4x4 vehicles can't.
I could've drove a front wheel drive car up that trail.
***** I seriously doubt that with all that rain
*****
And I could have flown up there in my rocket car. Now we are both liars.
A front engine front wheel drive car with tires about twice as wide gets plenty of traction.
*****
And my rocket car can just zoom on up there. Wanna' race? lol
I like the review in the heavy rain
I'm loving all these offroad reviews! Great work guys, keep it up!
That old Bronco is super nice, you really should keep it. Trust me, they are getting hard to find and the value is going up every year.
Dont you dare sell that...that... Beautiful, rare, and old amazing bronco. Ok? Dont you f*cking dare
*unless it's to me
I love the Bronco . I had a 1971 in 1979 in i was 20 yrs old . I will buy it !!
Dont sell it bro, it's a beauty. Not everyone truly appreciates them therefore they won't be willing to pay so much for them.

3 years later, I still stand by this comment
That's a man's truck. A truck for a guy who wears Old Spice, pays his bills on time, and loves his family and America and God and doesn't take any shit off anyone. My kind of guy.
About time you guys took the old bronco out for some off-roading, thanks fellas.
I love the front narration for this video!
omg...51k? thats a museum piece right there...that would have been a rare find in the 1980's...DO NOT CUT THAT THING UP!!!...that is a very very rare vehicle right there
Sweet ride. Love em early broncos.
See how easy a 4 wheel drive vehicle gets around the dirt with something other than all season tires? Nice video guys.
You can't sell it!! Sell something else or push another project back.. Do what you can Roman! That's a beautiful and rare truck you have. You would break our hearts as well as your own to sell it. There's always a way!
The crazy thing is the 80's Bronco II was the revival of this vehicle. If they would have put a 5.0 and axles and drivetrain to match it too would have been legendary.
Thanks !
I LOVE that yellow 4x4 Minion
My 68 CJ5 had a defroster, and an amazing Buick V6. But no gas gauge. I used a broken broom handle that slipped into one of the tubes on the winch bumper 😆. The really cool part is it had safety ejection...you sat on the gas tank🤔😬😳😂
I'm loving that windshield wiper. Old and tired and not sure what's going on, but it will be dammed if it is gonna give up doing its job.
I would keep that Bronco and NEVER cut those fenders, EVER!!!
You would be a fool to part with it. My '69 is an exact copy of that down to the Meadowlark Yellow paint. Mine is the first vehicle I ever bought and have had it all these years. Would not part with it for anything. Not to be picky, but you have a left, rear side reflector on the right side; or maybe it is upside down. Awesome ride, keep it!

if you still have the bronco you need to keep it. That is such a cool truck please keep it
Great video great bronco....
love my 71 blazer. Came stock with power steering and front disc brakes.
Keep it, if you sell it you will regret it in the future.
They sold it.
Yes it's a shame, it was a lovely little truck.
It really was. Very simplistic but it did the job just fine.
You do know that an engine makes more vacuum at idle than at large throttle openings, correct?
Now we do! Thanks
+pwschuh . That is correct, however, the vacuum wipers are supposed to be hooked up to the fuel pump which had a vacuum chamber to keep constant vacuum on the wipers. Not the manifold, where it looses vacuum as you say.

That's an icon
It's can't be sold

Don't sell it. You'll have time to work on it once you're done with motor mountain usa.
What happened to the li'l ol' Bronco ?
I advise keeping it. Every now and get it out for something like this.
I miss seeing this Bronco in the video intros.
Don't sell it, sell the crappy YJ instead! I learned to drive in one of those in the late 70's when I was about 10, it was my grandfathers beater truck to scout deer trails and get logs. The floor was rusted out and the tranny was frozen in 4wd. I drove it all over the mountains and never got stuck, I only wish I could have got it when he died.
Loved the video, keep the bronco
Do u still have it? Roman, you “man’d” it. Awesome.
you make it sound so complicated, you don't need to keep it insured or on the road so, as you get time and money make it what you want and then put it back on the road! i wish you the best of luck! i would recommend getting new rims and tires for trailing so you don't risk breaking the originals.
Cool video!! Did Branco have open front and rear diff, no diff lock?
She is a little beauty, I wish I could get one here in the UK
iVlogBuzz there were quite a few Broncos in the Uk when that was new !!
A proper video!
You have to do something with that carburettor
awesome truck, fix it up!

Those wipers had seen better days.
Oh if I had the money I love you to have that truck!
I dare you to drive that on the BQE after winter when the pot holes are abundant.
There comes a time when Old Iron should be Restored not modified. You got it, just sit on it. When you're ready, it'll be there.
Like my cousin. In 1974 he bought from the original owner a 1970 stock Hemi Cuda. He has it in a locked steel quonset with a dirt floor, somewhere on his land. It's not for sale.
How high is your blood pressure after filming these shows Roman ? ;) LOL
Also.. Ford and their vacuum endeavors of the 60's! LMAO
DO NOT SELL it!!!!!!!!!!!! Keep it and use it and when you have the time and $ than work on restoring it. Heck it can be a father/son project.
The 1968 model was the last year with vacuum wipers. And these vacuum units NEVER worked properly. In 1969 they started using an electric motor for the wipers.

Vacuum technologies in cars all seem to eventually fail. Like electric 4x4 switches.
+situationmoney '69-1/2 they switched, my early '69 came stock with vacuum wipers, removable top and window frames.
You can hear a rattle at every bump like a proper American truck.
Too bad you sold Billy. Loved the music in this video, who did it? :)
So are you from colorado or do you just come here a lot
Nice.
I say keep it.
Where is that trail located in Colorado
The trail is an offshoot of The Switzerland trail Outside of Boulder Colorado. The Start of the short trail is 40.055473, -105.464468
Actually I posted Cliffhanger 2.0
Bro I hope you didn't forget your bro 9:41
Off road people correct me if I'm wrong but that easy part is call a bypass.
DO NOT SELL THAT BRONCO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Happy your not cutting it up, a small lift with 31" tires will make it very capable
It would be awsome to see the bronco going up the Ike Guntlet
Pulling a bicycle? Lol
*****
Yes, why not? But I would like to see how trucks had changed over the years
Genís Andreu Rabaña that would actually be pretty interesting, especially just to see it at highway speed lol
Vent windows are Not just for smoking Lucky Strikes. Also I take that truck off your hands and give it a good home.
You need to get rid of those vacuum wipers there junk and switch over to the floor shifter from James duff
Old 4x4's are being wrecked and chopped up daily, Keep it and You will not regret it.
Too bad the video is 3 1/2 years old, would love to buy the Bronco half can from you
You can't sell Bronco Billy!
If I where you I would keep the bronco and save some money to restore it
buddy you are sad that trail is nothing you city boys, im from northern Canada and grew up with old school 4x4s, they will go through much worse, only problem is they stall when the distributors get wet.
Don't sell it roman!!!
Please , dont sell Bronco ! Keep it and restore it when you can !
Yes, that's a Nice Old Bronc...
But where's the CHALLENGE?? Where's the CLIFF??
That "Trail" is an Easier Drive than my Colorado Access Road and Driveway. And my Home is in an Established Subdivision!!
Sorry, but Bad Wipers and Stalling Idle simply DOES NOT make it an "Off-Road Challenge".
(And there are SO MANY Beautiful 4x4 Trails in Colorado that they could have chosen!!)
howl can you hit a wolf like BRUUUUUH
DON'T SELL IT!!!
Carburetors suck at altitude...
Why bother with restoring it? You'll never want to take it out on the trail again if you do that. Just enjoy it for what it is.
