Hello everyone. My name is Nick. recently I have purchased a 1968 Bronco Wagon at a rummage sale. I believe this is called a 170? It has 25,000 Original miles. I am still very new to the whole bronco scene but i was hoping to get some insight. My Bronco has no rear seat, bench seat, radio, came with a plow and the straight 6 motor. The original jack is still in the wheel well. I purchased it from the original owner, they purchased it to use on their property until the father had passed away. During the rummage sale they had two of his vehicles for sale along with everything in his house out in the garage. Im hoping to learn a bit more about this bronco, as i would love to tune it up and get it going. I work on DeLorean cars so seeing the amount of room in the front is quite cool! I have a carter carb on it, but does anyone recommend brands to use? I was thinking all NGK for the ignition? As far as carb i know it is a carter but unsure of the model at this point. I appreciate everyone's insight!

Awesome find. I'm amazed at the condition as your location indicates Wisconsin and there is only a small patch of rust on the passenger side.

Cool project. I had good luck with Holley Truck Avenger carb, which is designed to function on extreme slope. But I only used on V8s.

25k miles? sure it's not rolled a few times?

Looks good enough to have been garage kept
