What have you done to your Bronco today?

Started mocking up the Saginaw pump on my 351, couldn't justify the price on the correct bracket so tryingto make my own. I also started installing the arctic air box.

Patched yet another hole in the floor. Getting more practice welding than I thought I needed.

Did a test fit of the seats just to see how they look in place. Not especially happy with the height of the D/S seat. Too close to the steering wheel for my liking.

Got it cut out thanks to a buddy and his plasma table! Ill grab a longer belt tonight and fill everything up.

Finished up the power steering and it works way better than the stock explorer pump so far. Also got the arctic air box mostly installed and everything working. Need some sheet metal screws and some foam tape to finish it off.

That grill looks awesome.

How well did the lights work? Do they have a good beam pattern?

Still fine tuning the I’m but very good. I went with the softer white. I was a little disappointed that they have plastic lenses but I got over it.

Your Ididit column is up next!

Every day in Merica guys like us work on these old trucks we grew up with (68yo). We share our lessons and failures, successes too, on this site. This is one of the few sites where I can come and not expect drama. Keeping grinding guys. 14 years went by before I finished mine only to have a fresh transmission fail. Yall keep me motivated to get it fixed. Ordering a F red Brown tranny tomorrow.

Ididit Steering Column.

 

[JefeAZ]

Got some new roommates. The blue 71 is a 2 owner that never left Tucson. Came with the original sales receipt, inspection report, title and keys. Very original but needs floorboards and a new drivetrain(running170/3 spd is available for purchase). The green 77 is also a 2 owner from Show Low and was owned by Gary on here. It is being drive almost daily by my father-in-law. Its his third Bronco since the late 80s and he is tickled over it.

Got the “paint booth” delivered today. Unfortunately, my phone was on silent because I was asleep at 0645 (I AM retired) when the driver arrived. Picture will kinda show why my wife is not happy with where it was dropped.

It’ll be fine, I told her…still unhappy with her decision to agree with the purchase of the paint booth. lol

Hydro (Boosted). This is the Tom's kit. Big difference.

 

[cjcargo]

Replaced the master cylinder and all the brake lines. Prior replaced all the drum brake components. Disc brakes converted on the front axle.

 

[BGBronco]

I've posted a few times about my recent upgrades ... Hydroboost, Ididit Steering Column, High Torque Starter, New Oil Pan) as well as several smaller things (Painted Grill, Rear Seat Latch / Seatbelts, New Battery) to get everything buttoned up. I wish I would have done these things sooner, and best of all, no leaks. I'm in a great place, for now!

Test fitting the gift the wife found for me!

 

[SouthPaw74]

Changed up my wheels from 15x7 Ultra slots to 15x10 Pro Comps. The 15x10s seem to track better on the street and I like the wider stance!

 

[Slowleak]

Ran my booster thru the blast cabinet. Now I’m going to crack open a beer and watch this paint dry.
