So I have had this truck for 17 years. Bought it as a stock 76 bronco with 302 and three on the tree. First put a 3 1/2" lift with Cage arms and 33" tires. Then roughly fixed some rust and painted it flat black. Then put a 351W with factory EFI and 5 speed ZF. Then changed to 4R70W. Next was to change to coil overs front and rear and 4 link rear and custom Camburg floater rear housing. After this I pulled the body off and totally cleaned and painted the frame and suspension. During this time also I installed a 427 SBF with Haltech EFI system. I then removed that and installed a 408 SBF with Holley Terminator EFI system.
I then decided that I wanted to try a 5.0 Coyote engine and 6R80. Works great.
The rear suspension has great travel and works great. I did have to cut holes in the rear bed for the coil overs so that makes it noisy and dusty inside.
This next step is to removed the body again and totally fix all the sheet metal and repaint. I am fully sick and tired of the flat black color on the truck. Thinking a grabber blue but not sure yet. Also some other revisions to be made to make it a bit more friendlier to drive and fix some issues.
I have a Currie 9 inch from axle to install and will probably builds my own front links for it. probably going to put D60 ends on it also. Going to maybe a bit shorter coil over in the rear to maybe make some more room inside.
What is peoples opinion on 2.0 coil overs instead of the 2.5 i have now? Would help a bit with some packaging.
So Here are some pics of the progress. Plan on also changing the front seats as I am sick of climbing over the Corbeau Baja seats high sides. Also probably three point seat belts as sick of the 4 point harnesses also.
It is crazy how many times I have changed this truck but it is was it fun about having these trucks, I hope to never sell it so changing it is part of the fun.
