clearcoat that paint man!Me too. Freshly vandalized 79. It will need everything cosmetic but 460 drums great. Good luck View attachment 171734
That's rough. I don't see any glass in the Pic. Looks like a crazy x did it. Somebody had to be really mad to do all that.Me too. Freshly vandalized 79. It will need everything cosmetic but 460 drums great. Good luck View attachment 171734
My daughter said the same thing but I'm going to paint it in pieces due to garage space. Since all the glass broken i figured it made the most sense to have the windshield area ready so I painted the cowl, roof, and quarters. I used raptor liner on the top. I wasn't able to find sliders for the top so I ordered all new glass and will convert to solid rear side windows. Hopefully I can get the paint finished and water tight over the holiday breakclearcoat that paint man!

I don't know a lot about 78 broncos yet but im working on it. Just look to see if its reproduced. If it's not reproduced its pure gold. Where do you live hiding the good bronco parts? I'm looking for towing mirrors like the old highboys what do yall think about the new reproduced towing mirrors like the ones on summit? They are only 30 dollars. Anyway good luck with your picking.There a local junk yard that has a rough 78 bronco and a few trucks. Someone beat me to it and grabbed the passenger seat tracks but rounded off the bolts on the drivers seat. Is it worth picking up the buckets without a passenger seat track. What about rear slider frames (broken glass)? Any other hard to find parts i should look for?

Those look nice but I'm looking at theseLike these? I believe these are the "West Coast Jr." mirrors. The regular West Coast mirrors have a larger mirror head and a third mounting point by the front of the door, so they're not easily foldable like these should be. At least they're on an actual High Boy.

Is that a compressor for inexpensive air horns? Kinda looks like one of those. Especially with that vinyl hose coming off of it.View attachment 171831
What is that? It has a hose coming off of it that goes about 2 ft down the frame then dead ends and 2 wires coming out of the bottom that go to a relay on the radiator core support. Dont think they had charcoal canisters in 78 did they? No emissions that I know of. Old charcoal canisters were pretty big to. This thing is rather small. Ac related? The compressor is on the other side and its ripped out and hoses are cut. What yall think?
Love it. 2nd on clear coating it 👍Me too. Freshly vandalized 79. It will need everything cosmetic but 460 drums great. Good luck View attachment 171734
Speaking of headers what ones will fit an efi 460 in a 78 bronco? I might call l&l. I know the efi and carb heads are at different angles on the exhaust side. All of the headers i have looked at don't specify efi or carb. I'm thinking outside frame rail. I'll give them a call next week after its together. Going to be a little loud with just the stock manifolds lol. Just going to run it long enough to tune the carb
