might be a lil early starting a build thread...
after ready Greatguy,Behemoth,and 77bronco_ed, Ive decided to take this next step myself. Even since I saw Odd Rod at a Charlotte Show(7-8 yrs ago) Ive wanted one!
This probably wouldn't have even come to light, if it werent for us getting the 77 for the wife(which happens to be my daily driver-no kindin) got all the bugs worked out with the 77,5.0 EFI swap,new tires,cyntech harness...thing runs sweet and dependable.
So now, I can focus on actually doing this lowered bronco. It started a decent 72 halfcab that had a frame off done a few years back...but never was finished and never left a garage.
Didnt want to cut up a really nice frame with all new suspension lift...so i sold the rolling chassis to a friend, and he brought me another frame to go crazy with.
went to a swap meet a few weeks back and saw this narrowed nine for $50(couldnt resist!) dont even know if this will work out later done the road, but we will see.
my plan is to atleast have something like Odd Rod(for now)...my goal will be what 77bronco_ed is building(streetrod bronco)
I really want to skinny/fat look and would love to drive to the loacl track and lay some rubber down-then drive home ;D
I know alot of folks are gonna say...screw it!-build what you want once...and agree some. But, as funds are low...I feel I can get this lowered bronco rolling faster by going this route, then collect all the rear suspension stuff,new wheels/tires,etc...then redo the back half at that time.
Ive collected a few things already...I will be adding more pics.
