Round these parts, we call that "Hifalutin"

here’s my hangouts, sold the green 77

One day... My goal is to have a shop big and tall enough for a vehicle lift on one side for maintenance, and another for stacking storage. One day....

What arm fittings do you use and what lift points on the truck to lift safely?

As you probably know there is a lot of different opinions on lifting a Bronco safely! Here is my method:

The rear is pretty straight forward and I use lift pads on the forward rear spring hangers.

For the front I only use the pad extensions (no pads) and insert them into the body mount hangers between the body mount and the frame.

I've been using this method for years now and have never encountered an issue. And my trail rig Bronco has fiberglass skins over a tube frame so the rear is very light. This also keeps the lift arms pretty much out of the way for doing various jobs under the Bronco. With the Duff long arms I can't use the arm bracket as it's too far back.

Ok. That’s how I do it. Still a bit wobbly and I und up placing a few 6’ jackstands as well. I was looking at these adapters to reach the frame rails and be able to spread the arms wider

I should also have mentioned that my trail rig's frame is stretched 10 inches so that helps with stability on the lift.

Here’s one of them.

Just put it there to store it & it acts as a bumper when I push it up against the 66.

After several years of working in the driveway and very cramped garage situations. Ten years ago after the children moved out. I was able to move into a house with five stalls of space. I coverted the single stall into a fully insulated, heated and air-conditioned shop. For my machines tool and overhead storage. It also has a mop sink.

In the four stall portion. I have the Bronco work area and the rest of the space for our two daily drivers and stuff.

Man alive! Seeing all these CLEAN (and organized) shops in here is giving me an inferiority complex. I think I’ll screenshot some of these clean workspaces and show them to my rats nest of a shop. Maybe it’ll shame my shop (me as well) into getting some semblance of neatness…or not.

Here is mine. Pretty messy right now. Always seem to have too much crap laying around. Pretty lucky to have a good sized shop. I have a paint booth that also works for cold storage for the winter storage of either mine or my brothers summer cars. Only bad thing is low ceilings so cannot use a lift.

don't know if i would call it a therapy room or a spot to "FIT" everything

This is a great idea. Work on the Bronco and work on your abs at the same time!

 

[tasker]

DIDN'T really work out that way....

I am jealous of all you guys with decent sized garages. My garage is barely big enough for two cars but it only has one 6g bronco in it because of all the other crap! The Bronco is my wife's and her motorcycle and kids bikes and blah blah blah! and well you know how that goes.
I keep my EB at my work shop but dont really have room to work on it. It just gets stuck in the corner with a cover over it to keep it out of the weather.

If I had a garage or shop at my house that was big enough to work on I would probably still be working on old broncos all the time. But it is far from convenient to have to move stuff around every time i want to work on some thing then have to put it all back.

That pic that I attached in the initial Post to this thread was my "Therapy Room" for ~20 years. I have since moved and downsized following my wife's passing, and now have a much smaller house with a gravel driveway, no garage. I have since gifted my '69 EB to one of my daughters to keep in her three car garage.

No more wrenching for this old man...

At least your vehicles are small.

I just noticed that you are in Vancouver, WA. I used to live near you in Washougal. Miss that place, but it has grown so much since I was up there. I hope to someday give my Bronco(s) to my daughter also, such a great gift! If I was still up there, you could come over anytime for some wrenching.
