I have other vehicles to drive, just not other vehicles to pull a trailer with. Thats the problem. If i werent in need of a vehicle to pull a trailer with, I probably wouldnt trade.

I have a 93 bronco with a 6" lift and 35s under it. Personally I HATE towing with it. The wheelbase is to short IMO and it don't like to stop with a trailer (prolly has a lot to do with the tires) but I've been pushed through a red light more than once.

Does the trailer have brakes? Does the bronc have a brake controller?

Well there's your problem! Lol
Any trailer that can carry enough weight to push a truck should have brakes.
I'm guessing the bronc already had a brake controller, otherwise why would you Install one.

Bondo ing in those vents in the fenders just makes more issues with cracking later..If you do get it, pick up replacements for the bondo covered doors and both fenders, you can get fenders cheap and get some good gray or black primer, paint a few coats and wet sand it, could actually look pretty nice.

Kinda sounds like the deal has fallen through. He isn't sure he wants to trade now and neither am I. I'm still trying to sell this one, but if i cant get 1,000 for it, and i probably cant since it doesn't run, then I will just keep it until i get it fixed, or longer.

Now I just need to decide if I want to keep a 302 in it, or put in a 351 and convert to MAF like I had planned.

Lol. It don't push my superduty. And yes it came with the controller. But believe it or not the trailer was empty the 1 time I pulled it with the bronco and it still pushed me. Its a 30 flatbed. I guess it's not so bad I'm just used to towing with a f350.
