I've owned my 69 for 22 years now. Hard to believe it's been that long. For the most part it's been my only ride and from the time I drove that strait 6 w/3 on the tree home I've never considered driving anything else. I didn't know much about working on cars then and so its been an eventful love affair. Over the years I made upgrades and changes mostly just keeping it on the road. When the six went out I put a 302 in. Later on a C4. Power steering, front disks, Power breaks, etc. I always thought someday I'd tear it down for a frame off but that never seemed to happen till last year when I thought I'd have the time and money to finally make it happen. I had been collecting parts and ideas for what I wanted to do but mostly I was going to take it apart and let the project and my limited funds guide the build. I knew from watching other builds here that it was going to be a big deal but I don't think anything can prep you for the actual scope of the work, time and money it takes to do something like this.
I wasn't planing on doing a build thread and I make no promises to keep this current as I'm terrible when it comes to remembering to take pics and follow up with updates but wanted to share some of the pics I've taken up to now. I've had some ideas about how I wanted to do things on the Bronco that are outside the standard build box so I can say that while you might not agree or like some of the mods I've done at least it's something new and different. Please feel free to ask any questions or share thoughts. I'll try to respond timely.
Now lets start with some pics. I guess I'll start with what I started with and where I'm at now. Then I can come back and fill in with pics leading up to now and hopefully carry on to a finish or at least back on the road.
