That was a great story! My Dad passed away a while back and that story brought back a flood of memories. I wish I had read it on Father's Day.

Thanks Dawg

hahahahaha all I can say Rick is that i'm sorry bout that ass whooping that Paps caused you to get, but the story is great. I called my mom and told her about it and she couldn't do anything but laugh because although Paps was only asking about the Bronco and he was a genuinily great man he did have a bit of nosey about him. I can't tell you the number of times that I tried to get over on him or dad about something and more often then not Paps would already know how it happened...

This is so cool! I love it when forum members make connections - sort of like "6 degrees from Kevin Bacon", only its "2 degrees from machinist02"!!
Great story about the broken Bronco, Rick!

(I have an Air Force-trained Dad, and if we didn't toe the line....oooooooeeeeeeee...I sooo feel your pain!)

Speaking of Broncos and Granddad Lee...........I have a very funny story about both................
My Dad always had Broncos. He would build them up and then sell them and start over. He had this one that he had built a hot-rod motor for and put dual wheels on the back. You could rev it up dump the clutch and it would "pop a wheelie". Well, before I got my drivers lisence I would "borrow" it when he would go out of town to see his mother. One day I...

Well I went to school with all the Muirhead grandkids, Patrick, Micheal, and Tiffany at Greenville Christian School. My name is Will Tolliver, if you know Greenville you prob know my bronco, it was my grandfather's, Lee Newman. I bought it from him a few years before he died. It is the light green one that he used to drive all over. It is at hunting camp in bruce which is the land that "paps" was born on, so family/hunting camp land.

I know the area well........Born and raised in Greenville, MS. My in-laws are from Doddsville, MS. Bet you didn't think anyone here would know where Doddsville is!!! LOL!!!! They were raised on Senator Eastlands plantation. You know the Kittrells or Jones's? I am one of the Muirheads from Greenville.
You wouldn't happen to own the white Bronco that sits on Hwy 61 would you? I been looking at it for years when passing thru.
Good Luck on your quest for a "T"! You...

Sure I'll be glad to post some pics of my bronco for all to see. Gotta give me some time to find them though. The Bronc is at hunting camp but I have some pics floating around the house of it. I'll post some up of my car too. I got a '73 340 Duster that I restored when I was in high school. I am located in Shaw, MS. Its not much of a town but a nice place to get away to. It is in west MS, right around where Arkansas, Louisiana and MS all meet at the river.

I don't have a "T" to swap, but would love to see some pics of the Bronco. I am an Old Bronco Man myself. I have had almost every year they were made at one time or another. My last 2 were a 76 and a 77 that was uncut and restored all original.

Later and Good Luck

Bronco for "T"

feeds@yuku.com (machinist02) — Mon, 28 Apr 2008 09:40:52 GMT

I have a 1974 Ford Bronco that I am not currently using. It has a bored over .030 302 with 289 heads. C4 trans, PTO winch and double front shocks. It is a solid southern vechile with no rust that is looking for a good home. I would like to trade it for a T doesn't matter what year, miles, or color combo.
