Paul I PM you months back about motors etc, at that time it was going to be a few tweaks, a new motor and some paint. But of course it has taken another direction. I was when I spend a month scraping Bondo off the bed that I noticed there was nothing right about this Bronco, I was one big piece of poop. One of the great things about this site is I can read all the gread advice that has been given over the years. My plan is to get the truck square, screw and tack weld, turn the truck over, epoxy prime every noke and cranny, seam seal every seam and lay down some sort of undercoating.
I have a real hard time making decisions.. product of my upbringing I can't shake it.
Suspension - all purpose but with good manors-have skills just need to know what is best for my needs: street driving, 30%, Highway 30% light off road, to maybe moderate think Sierra Nevada, MOAB easy trails stuff. I don't mind spending $$ to do thing right, I have spent plenty of money doing this wrong.
Transmission - I think I am going mack to manual transmission AX15 or something with OD
Motor - still on the fence. 351 with some sort of EFI, I like I would go with a F150 Coyote just not sure how to start that process.
