Older Bronco, who can identify?

[Phil]

look under the front seats in between the cushion and the springs to see if there is a build sheet in there

Here is the 1973 Bronco Brochure in case any you interested

I noticed the payload rating is between 940 and 1340 lbs...pretty close to the 6g

Is that where you left it?

The VIN number will be attached to the inside of the glove box door.

This. Also another VIN posted on driver’s side door jam and also on passenger side frame just rear of engine although that one is hard to see. But they should all match. VIN is best way to identify year. Too many people have messed with these over the years to rely only on features. Uncut is really, really good. If it were me and based only on what I have seen in the photos, I think $6k is a good price so long as your friend intends to fix it up and has the means to do so. Have your friend spend some time on classicbroncos.com to get an understanding of what he’s in for.

no but that is where ford assembly line workers would leave them but looks like these seats may have been redone so who knows

Wow, I didn’t know that. Probably worth a look for OP’s friend. Mine was ‘74 and the seats looked exactly like the photos. So maybe those seats are orig and that sheet is still there. Really good catch.

My ‘73 was three on the tree.

My ‘74 was three on the tree, RAT tranny. But the steering column shown in the photo is definitely from something else. Looks like an ignition switch on there? EB’s always on dash.

I blew it up and don’t see what you see. I see the dirty knob on the shifter and ignition on the dash.
I’d offer three like Phil said. The realtor needs this gone and probably doesn’t want to deal with it. If the people who bought the house find out what they have there they may work out a deal to have it thrown in. I just found out a house here that I’ve always liked sold and included an RV because the elderly woman didn’t want to deal with it after the husband passed.

Definitely not a 73. The t-shift transfer case ended in 72. So I would say it's 69-72. Need to see more to narrow it down. It also looks like a 3 on the tree which I think 72 was the last year for that...

Actually, I had an early '73 with T shift and a C4. Fairly rare.

@Glen if your friend is interested, as someone else suggested, take some cash and make a deal. If you were to post where it actually is sitting, I’d bet you’d probably have 5 guys there tomorrow to either buy it or help your friend with the purchase and also with a better understanding of what it is. The VIN is the key and a few posters have given locations of it. Get that then you can do internet search on the vin that will tell the story. https://www.martiauto.com/martireports.cfm
for $20 you can get a basic report about that particular vehicle.
