Ok Here goes on the project that should not be done ;D I have a 1970 Bronco that i am going to strip down and put a mildly built 460 in just to have something different and keep it drivable and NOT cut up. Here are some pictures of what i started with and of me ripping it down to the bare frame. Ill be getting the frame back from being blasted sometime this week or the begining of next week. I am going to be running F-150 coils and L&L Motor Mounts for a full size a C6 and 205 tranny and transfer case, and illl be building as much of the fabrication i can myself. I dont expect to be done with the whole project tommoro, or next week, or next year for all that matters, for one because i pretty much have to find (and afford) a whole nother body cause the one that came off of it was way worse than the pics show.

Very nice! 460 with a C6 is going to be a BEAST.

Good to see you're realistic about the time frame - take your time and do it right - Im still finding little rushed "fixes" that I did last year that I wish I had taken the time to do right.

Good luck on the build - we'll be anxious to see updates here.

Cool. The wheels in the first pic are probably worth a little coin to someone. Are you going to use them in the build?

Ive heard there aint to many of these wheels left out there. They are made by Firestone and what i heard was that they came on a select few pickups from the factory they are 16.5 inch wheels with the bigger triangles and 5 lug bolt pattern. I havet decided if im going to use them on the bronco when im done or if i would go with a chrome or aluminum wheel. I like them a lot especially on the 16 wide 38s that are on them but well see i guess,, thats quite a ways down the road yet ;D
