Just had this delivered yesterday 2-12-22 from southern Tennessee to michigan. The first thing I did was wash the salt off it from its ride up here. Now I start planning out my build. Plan so far is McNeil racing glass and dash Holley efi and going to a built 460. Going to buy extended beams 12” coil overs and cage it. I’m undecided about the rear right now. I keep telling my self just keep it simple with leafs but I also want to just link it lol. As far as shocks go I’m going with Carbon Shocks 3.0 coil over front and 3.0 triple bypass rear. I would like to add a set of twin turbos once I have it up and running which is why I’m going with the Holley terminator x. That’s all for now I will try to keep this updated as I get parts

Cyote swap would be sweeeeeeeeeet!!!! For the “keep it simple” a single or twin turbo would be nasty! Love me a big block sound.

I priced it out trust me lol I have one sitting in the corner lol it was $5000 by time I was done with wire harness power steering conversion ect. The big block with twins will do lol

Well in a nice turn of events I was standing at the clock about to leave work when a bronco popped up about a hour away from me. So I called my dad said hook up a trailer I’m running to the bank then coming to grab your truck and trailer lol the bronco had a solo motor sports cage, solo coil over mounts solo radius arms solo rear shackle hangers and shackles as well as Q80 springs. Yukon axle shafts and 4.56 gears with a Detroit in the back. It’s a roller but was a frame off from out of state (Arizona) so it’s clean so I will be selling the black one and picking up where the guy left off with this one.

Nice.. I actually saw your listing on the black one and thought, hmmm, wonder what he found... lol
 
Just saw the other one for sale on facespace and jumped on here to see what was up, good deal on the new one. That is a nice base to build off of!

Few parts have started to show up for this. I told my wife I wouldn’t work on it until I finish my 77 super cab build but that doesn’t mean I can’t order parts. I got my switch pro which I plan to use to run all my electronics in the bronco. My 460 swap motor mounts showed up, I also got a 2:1 steering quickener my beams should be here in a week or so. I have my 460 up on a stand and getting ready to order a cam and gaskets for it so I can get it set in the frame.

Well I did a few things on the bronco while I’m waiting on parts to show up for my Cummins swap. I picked up some used +6 front fenders and temporarily installed my steering quickner. I took the opportunity to teach my niece how to use my lathe and mill had her make me a Litle adapter. I also picked up a 4x4 c6 that needs a rebuild and started collecting parts for my 460 swap. I’m waiting on my solo beams and some 2.5x14 coil overs. I also picked up some used 35” claws for $300 the km2’s were super dry rotted and kept going flat. On to a couple pics

My beams and coil overs came in yesterday! I can’t wait to start building this! I also started assembling the 460 that’s going to be in this. Cleaned the block up put the ported dove heads on it and sat the intake on it. I have also installed the cam and lifters and roller rockers since I took this picture.

Nice getting the kids involved.
My son is always helping. My daughter is 5 so she helps sometimes but mostly like to play in the sand box lol. My niece has been asking to help when she’s there so I give her something to do. My brother in law just likes to garden lol
