my "new" 71 bronco

[eudaman]

paid 5 k for this beast...picked it up sunday.....had it checked out, and pretty sound mechanically...and loud with the headers...though the speedo/tac/gas gauge.....none of that works, will need to get that fixed, perhaps some disc brakes....the "boot" and brackets for the shifters is ancient and i need to replace. has a nice bedliner though and some new beard front seats. tailgate is beat to ****....must find replacement.....anyway, im hooked i think the rearward lean is cause i just filled up both tanks with gas?

there is a lot of potential there. Your rear squat is from sagging leaf springs. That isn't a problem but it is annoying. I would look at BC or WH for replacements....don't do the add-a-leafs or blocks.
