Not close.
I had been looking for a later model Bronco forever, but couldn't find one that wasn't either rotted out with 300k miles, or cost a fortune.
Low and behold I spotted this one at the end of some guys drive way with a for sale sign here in the middle of no where a couple miles from my house.
1996 351W with 90k miles, original owner in fantastic condition with zero rust and a
glove box of paperwork.
I almost felt bad modifying it, so far just a mild 4" lift I pieced together, BDS extended radius arms on the front with full Deaver flexy springs on the back with Camburg Extended shackles.
Still planning on a roll cage and a softopper.
The new 33's also look kinda small, I'm replacing the 3.55 gears with 4.88 and will have TruTracs front and rear.
After the gears I may go to a 35" tire.
Also the rear is a bit high so I may do an aftermarket rear bumper and tire swinger to weigh the aft down a bit.

Here’s my baby....2003 K2500HD, 6.0 gasser...only 89,000 miles. As you can see, it’s in pretty darn good condition. Sticker in glovebox says its cargo weight rating is just under 2,700 pounds. I’m struggling to make the final decision whether to sell it to buy a newer midsize 4x4 truck. I’m just finding it kinda hard to give up the great weight carrying capacity of this as I consider possible camper options.
I (and this is just me) wouldnt get rid of it given it's in such good shape and low mileage. Your cost of ownership is the gas, regular maintenance (oil, filters & brakes, etc) and an odd repair here and there. A newer vehicle has the same maintenance costs (oil, filters etc), will likely get better gas mileage, but will cost you cash out of pocket. Don't know how many miles a year you put on it but you have to drive a lot, usually for quite a few years to have gas mileage be the sole differential in cost. Of course if you have an itch for a newer one then I get it. Itches need to get scratched occasionally. LOL great looking truck!

Hang onto it. it's been taken care of and paid for with lower operating costs when compared to making payments and higher registration,insurance etc.
