Well a lot of my plans got put on hold due to that body/paint work cost a fuking fortune(it was a little more than anticipated)
But for right now I am fixing all of the leaks in the original powerplant 300/C4 but I have a 351C I want to build and drop in someday. But the 300 only has 92,000 miles so it should last me a pretty long time. I am installing power brake booster, nice set of rims, cd player with new speakers, carpet, basically redo the whole interior(dashpad, door panels, seat recovered, etc.) I am the 4th generation owner of this truck and I am trying to make it into something I can keep for a long time.

Thanks, it is costing a small fortune, but I love it.
Rule #1 to any restoration it WILL cost twice as much as you originally thought

It is even better when I pulled it and the 3spd tranny from a 70 mach 1 mustang. :toothless :thumbup It will be at least next summer before I can spend the cash on it, but it will be well worth it.

Official "Police/EMS/Federal Agency" Bronco info thread
General Discussion/ Bronco and Wheeling related.I figured I'd start an "official" thread about this, since there really is no definitive information about FSB's that have been or were (in some instances still are) used across the US by Police, EMS & Federal agencies, etc. Use this thread as the definitive source and/or info gathering about...- 106

New bronco
General Discussion/ Bronco and Wheeling related.I did some horse trading and now the proud owner of one 1978 ford bronco.

The truck has zero rust and somebody did a a...- 71
