So I'll be fine with my well-worn 5.0 and old farmer-like driving habits. Thanks. Todd Z.

Why would a 9", for example, with a TrueTrac in it, be a giant door stop, as opposed to a 9" with a Detroit in it? Todd Z.

I have one of each :). Also one of the trucker hats! The t-shirt isn't too flattering on me but I've worn it nonetheless. Todd Z.

I was scratching my head on that one too and then realized I think there's a WCB plate on there for the bolts on both sides to thread into? Todd Z.

It was good to see Autometer back at the show this year. They haven't attended for quite awhile. Todd Z.

I bought a Quick Performance unit (nodular housing, TrueTrac, 4.56) about a year ago and it's still sitting in my garage waiting to be installed. Yeller's recommendation and I'm impressed with what I see. I also learned that shoving the 3rd member in a 5 gallon bucket is a pretty good way to...

A pic of the new Optima Lithium battery. They now say "Optima by Clarios" on them - haven't researched if Optima is now owned by another company (other than Johnson Controls) or not. And finally, you always see a few celebrities at SEMA and so I present a few that I saw this year: Jay Leno...

Nice looking trail truck in the US Shift booth built by CBM Designs. I had a nice long chat with Josh from Performance Adapters who explained his 6R80 adapter. He knows the shortcomings of the other ones on the market and has addressed them with his design(uses a Chevy starter). I believe the...

A Bronco in the United Pacific parts booth and Felipe Ibarra's "Orange Crush" Bronco - which was a Bronco Driver magazine giveaway years ago. Felipe also had a Bronco in the SEMA Show last year. Todd Z.

This was a Bronco built by Vini's Hot Rods in Birmingham, AL. The metalwork and quality of the build was fantastic. @nvrstuk has volunteered to move the rear axle back an inch for them :). Todd Z.

Here's the stained glass marker lights that @Broncobowsher was mentioning. A friend saw them and sent me back to take closeup photos of them :). And there was also a surprise under the hood. Todd Z.

They should have a upward bend to them as they come out from the frame. The shocks don't sit at a 90 deg. angle to the ground. Todd Z.

The Coyote 6G Bronco on display only has a 2.3 under the hood :). Todd Z.

Thanks for the info on that! Higher than I expected. Todd Z.

Here are two more photos I took of it. And I found this document online which explains it well. https://documents.holley.com/d1311fa35632f986d7171dc58b11825401cf9e27.pdf Todd Z.

A new Bronco builder showed up at SEMA this year - Alchemy. They're located outside of St. Louis, MO, and their co-CEO, Tyler Clark, told me he's been an EB enthusiast for 25 years and worked for Bronco Hut in CO for many years. Their rigs feature all-steel bodies (Carpenter with metal flares...

Some photos of Kiesha and her "brag card". Kincer had an electric chassis AND a completed electric truck on display at the show this year. Todd Z.

So as to not pollute @904Bronco's thread, I figured I'd create my own here with some photos and thoughts from the show this year. I'm sure @Broncobowsher will have some thoughts to share as well when he has a moment to post. I did a quick count this week and I think this is my 26th SEMA show...

The metal work on the white one (built by Vini's Hot Rods in Birmingham) is absolutely incredible. Todd Z.

The '96 pump (assuming it came on a V8 car) should be up to the task of handling the hydroboost since those cars came stock with it. However the '96 Mustangs were also rack and pinion and rack and pinion systems run at a lower pressure than recirculating ball systems. That might be part of...
