Spawn build (72 Bronco rebuild) (On the road finally!)

langester · Apr 1, 2018

I got to work on the Bronco today finally. My buddy got most of the body work done on the drivers fender so I was able to install the last fender flare. I then removed both of the front flares and cut the front fenders to mach the grill that I cut flat across the bottom. I put the windshield frame and the doors on so i could check for fit before we do any final work before paint.
I have a few spots to play with but for the most part it is ready. Did I mention that I hate lining up doors! 3 hours of playing with those damn things, Uggg!
Here is a couple pics, nothing exciting, still making progress though!

Lookin' good Langester! Keep the ball rollin'!

Thanks, I appreciate the reply! The ball is starting to roll a little easier, finally!

I am waiting on my buddy to get some body work done on the drivers fender so I decided to rebuild my transfer case. It was pretty tight and looked good but I didn't want to take any chances. I got it torn down and started the clean up and paint on the case and cover. Hopefully I can finish up next weekend.

Thanks Hank! I am trying, my wallet is not as willing to help as it needs to be!

3 spindle nuts, 3 rear output shafts and a lot of cussing later! I finally got the t case rebuilt! Here are a couple pics to prove its back in one piece.

I got to finish my twin sticks today. I started them a long time ago, I had a t shift to start out with and switched to a j shift. I had to scrap some of what I had, but the levers worked out okay. I used 9/16 hex stock, I think it looks awesome. I bent them for now I will probably have to tweak them when I install the drive train. Here are a couple pics.

My buddy shot some paint on a few parts for me today. We still have a little work to do on the tub but should be shot next week I hope. Here are a few pics. Its not a show truck, its going to be a daily driver. It has a few dings we missed here and there but I am loving it!

Speaking of paint. I was looking at my glove box door just now and on the bottom inside it has "PAINT OK" in yellow and some other writing I can't make out. I never noticed that before.

Usually the stamp would also have the date and inspector’s last name.

langester · May 24, 2018

Thanks for the reply. I bet that is the part I can't make out. Good to know, it amazes me the amount of little things that pop up on Bronco's that I never noticed. Always learning something, thats what I love about this site!
Thanks again!

x2 on all the little details. This stamp is located under the dash, so may have been a different format from one used in a glovebox - but it shows the name and date.

What color is that?
I'm looking for a good gray for some of my interior.

langester · May 26, 2018

LUBr LuvR, Thanks for the pic, that is very similar to mine. Always cool to see something I didn't know on these rigs!
Thanks for posting it up.

SykanrOng, I am not sure what the name of the color is, I will check today when I am down there. It is a Martin Senour paint from NAPA, Acrylic Enamel. I will let you know this evening, I will take a shot of the label.
I bought a quart when I was shooting my Raptor liner to mix with it to get the color I wanted for the interior. I was going to go with a darker color on the outside of the body but changed my mind. I am very happy with the results.

Here is a pic of the label of paint can.

I got a little more work done today. I got the glove box door and the door panels sanded down and a little hammer work on the panels to fix them up. I think everything is done now except sanding a little on the tub and hopefully we can get everything all painted next weekend.

Have a good one!
