I just sold my Bronco ( I really miss it already, regret it too.) To the tune of $2300. I already bought brakes for the front and rear, and Warn Hubs are on order. Its' a 1983 W350

What else should I do? I have a budget of $1500 and the will to make this truck into a sweet ride. New fenders are coming already.

Well, I just bought a W150 for $400. For now I'm going for dependability instead of looks so I'm replacing all of the engine hoses and belts, rubber ends on the tranny cooler lines, radiator, water pump, thermostat, changing all fluids, new hubs, new tires, etc. The previous owner had a front brake job done so I'm also replacing the front middle brake hose and rear hose so they will all be new and probably rear wheel cylinders. I also did a complete tune up and carb rebuild. After all of that it should be nice and dependable. After that is done I'll go pick up the 1/2ton I bought for $200 and swap bodies. I'm hoping to be under $2,000 except for paint.

Sounds like a good idea; I've got a head start because the previous owner replaced all the rear brake lines and hardware and put new tires on it before I bought it.

Thanks for your input.
