No need for power brakes, set up right it will stop fine....Do rear disc and Wilwood MC and it will stop great. :D
Depending on the body the prices is about average. Make sure it has powersteering, $$$$ to convert, 74 should, but.....
If you have to have power brakes, it is easy, just $$.
Depending on the springs, the lift may need to be swapped, most are stiff.

Those yellow springs make me think they are superlift springs, i would ditch them, stick to the Bronco vendor supplied springs only like BCBroncos or Wildhorses. Power brakes is easy, but will cost almost $400 for the bracket and booster. Looks like hes got alot of extra goodies on there that would ad up quick if you had to get them done youreslf.

Sounds like a good deal and looks fairly nice in the photo. The price is about average but if you buy a junker you end up putting alot more than that in it to make it similar. I picked up a 69 for 2500.00 not running quite a bit of rust and no extras rebuilt a motor and converted to AOD from 3sp and am sitting about 5k in so far :/

Update:
I have taken it for a test drive twice. Once a few nights ago and once today.
Its drives well, the motor was rebuilt a while ago and run great, starts well and does not smoke. The auto tranny was rebuilt and has a high stall TC, shifts nice and firm. The suspension is james duff but is painted to mach the body (you can see the james duff imprint) There are custom rocker/f/r/ bumpers, and all the lights and **** work. The body and frame have little rust and is herculined inside.

Now the bad: seats are shot, there are spring wedges in the front for some odd reason, the steering shaft from the steering wheel was cut and booty fabed together (stong but ugly). The wost thing I saw is that the front D44 has a big ass beam welded to the bottom. The owner said it was a trail fix in Moab for a broken tube. Other than the axle, the body has some dents but nothing out of the ordinarry. I got him down to $4700. Need imput fast!

Thanks for the help guys :D

That's not too bad, but I don't know EB at all. I'd be thinking of a new axle for the front and doing something with that steering :eek: ........................SCRAMBLER

If you buy it and want to ditch that front spring setup ive got a nice set of Wildhorses 3.5" coils for sale. 1 of the best coils you can buy for the EBs
