I learned to drive on my father 60 automatic American and then learned how to drive a standard shift on a 54 Willy's pickup. Personally I haven't seen an early Bronco in at least 20-25 years around here. There must be a calling for a lot of parts for them from somewhere to warrant the huge amount of repo parts made, but not from around here by me. "Doc" ------------------------ Yahoo!

It is remarkable to me that the "EB" (referred to as 'Early Bronco')
following has so much support considering that that particular model
of Bronco was manufactured for only about 10 years, which is less
time than all the AMC models put together. Thank God for the Jeep
line - I hate to admit that, (especially since my brother is an avid
Jeeper), but if the Jeep line wasn't around, we other AMCers would
really be SOL for parts! Guess there may be something to that 4-
wheeler thing? LOL
Ironically, I drove my brother & myself to high school in a 1976 AMC
CJ-5. And initially I learned to drive on a 1956 Willis Jeep. My Dad
bought it second hand and put a soft top on it from Sears (no wonder
I hate 'em). Then my Dad had the nerve to tell me that the Pacer was
a 'piece of junk' - with the same 258 IL-6 engine as our CJ-5! I
really think he just didn't like the Pacer's body design.
