1974 Ford Bronco. It was restored 5 years ago mechanically and painted 3 months ago with a base/clear 2005 Ford dark blue pearl including new front fenders, door inserts, rust-free hood with hood scoop, and all new chrome and lenses. The door posts and striker posts are solid, and the cowl is rustfree, the inner front fenders are rust-free even where they meet the fire wall.
Modifications:
The engine is a 5.0 HO Roller Longblock from Ford Performance Racing with less than 7,000 miles since install and equiped with Electronic Fuel Injection from a 1993 Mustang using a Painless wiring harness. Mustang Serpentine Accessories. All the accessories were replaced within the last 6 months (Alternator, Starter, Power Steering Pump, waterpump, etc.) It has Dual Interstate Batteries that are 2 months old. Dual electric puller fans on the radiator.
It has the Original C4 transmission that was rebuilt less than a year ago. The truck has 4.56 Gears installed in 2003 with a Detroit EZ locker in the front Dana 44 with Disk Brakes and Full Spool in the Rear 9 inch. The tires are 35X14.50 - 15 Super Swamper Boggers w/ approximately 50 % mounted on American Racing 15x10 wheels with Aluminum Beadlocks. Rancho 2.5" suspension lift:cry: :-[ and 3" Body lift with custom front and rear bumpers that hide the body lift and provide optimal ground clearance.
New 24 Gallon EFI Fuel tank with High and Low electric fuel pumps.
Interior: Full family cage with Corbeau Seats and RCI 5 Point Harnesses with a Tuffy center console including a pioneer CD player and 2 6x9 Speakers. The tub is spray-lined on the interior with Linex (3 years ago). Brand new Tom's Bronco leather-wrapped steering wheel and autogage gauges (tach, temp, oil, voltage). Fuel Gauge is only factory gauge used. Stainless Steel twin stick shifters. Soft Bikini top
The bumpers were built to accomodate the Warn X8000i winch mounted in front with new motor and solenoids installed. Undercarriage offroad lights for night wheeling. Flowmaster exhaust.
Ready to go 4x4 now;D

That one was Keith's truck. One of the first guys I met when I moved back to Texas. Are you looking for his contact info? Well I guess that is a stupid question huh? I might be able to get him yours if you like. I don't want to give someone elses info out w.out their approval. I 'm sure you understand.

I was already afraid of that, i do have an extra mechanical fan though. I will have to check out the clearance issues though.
