I have this temptation to restore an old Bronco or Scout, but at the end of the day you still have an old Bronco or Scout, safety is out the window and you will be lucky if you break even on the parts let alone time spent.

You can still get an old Scout for a reasonable price, but 1st gen Broncos are outrageously expensive. Sometimes classic car and truck market prices make sense and sometimes they're nuts..

The engine looks interesting.

Cummins R2.8 L Turbo Diesel Review – R2.8 Cummins Engine

as does the 4BT model.

Trucks are probably better for an enthusiast renovation project. You have more space and heavy gauge metal to play with.

How about later models, outside the "fashion" range ? I drove a Bronco II for ages, amazing machine, and bought it back to the UK. For a number of reasons I had to part with it. It was not by choice though.

I watch this channel occasionally, purely for the entertainment



The engine compartment on the Scout looks cramped for the size of engine in it.
