About this Current Vehicle:
Alright, so I picked myself up a 1978 Ford Bronco. Now this Bronco isn't just any Bronco, it has a LONG story behind it. My Grandfather bought this Bronco new back in 1978, and has been his until he died recently. It was then sold with the estate, and I haven't seen it for 2-3 years. So for the past week, whenever I would go to work or school, I've seen this Bronco on 306 sitting on the road for sale, which looks exactly like my grandfathers Bronco. Every time I've seen it, I've always thought "Man that’s too much of a coincidence to be the same truck". Well my dad didn't think so, and yesterday I got a call saying that he stopped and looked at it, and it was indeed my grandfather’s truck. Needless to say, that pretty much sealed the deal of my buying the truck.

Update 2
Well I redid the rear brakes entirety, shocks, and wiring. Everything is in working order .... except the front brakes. The calipers were so rusty that they wouldn't slide, and the guy I bought her from said he did the brakes. HA. Anyways, after the front brakes, I'll do a tune up, and start driving her.

Work Progress
So far I've gathered all of the parts needed to do the rear brakes, going to get the drums off and have them turned, and Sunday (since I work Saturday) I will do the rear brakes in full. If NAPA has the shocks in stock, I can get those done as well. After the brakes and shocks are done, all she needs are tires (have some in the basement), fix the brake lights (probably broken wiring harness), and steering (take her to an alignment shop).
I figure 2 - 3 weeks til shes road ready.
