I just bought this 1974 Bronco with a Bronco designs tub to build as a daily driver to replace my 2 door JK.
There are a lot of missing pieces $ but overall a good start. It has what looks like a mid 90's 5.0 with a Centek or Howell harness it's mated to a NV3550 and a dana 20 transfer case. Kingpin 30 front, bb 9" rear. Massive blocks in the back and tall coils in the front. New tank, useable doors and hood, dash, driveshafts, wiper assembly and other small stuff.
I have been a Jeep guy my hole life. I just put together a 96 Bronco and didn't love it. It was too large a truck with a narrow stance. I sold it to buy this project.
I have a lot of work to do that will take moee time than $ then I will slow down until I figure out funding.
The goal is a dd on 35's and I would like to go full width with a 17x 8-9" wheel. I plan on cutting the rear fenders and using steel everywhere but the tub. I will replace the suspension, new brake lines, fuel lines, steering linkage and add pwr steering and brakes.
I am working in a open carport so my goal is to get the frame rails painted before it gets too cold. The first thing was to pull the tub, I hung it above the frame using ratchet straps(worked great) I pulled the engine, covered the trans and degreased the frame. It looks like it was stripped, left bare to rust over(medium surface rust) I trued several different methods to remove this. The best so far has been a pressure washer sand blaster. It doesn't do as good as a big dry blaster but ut is acceptible. I have just started this so I will post progess.
The last picture is after blasting and a quick hit with a roloc scotchbrite pad thingy. The blasting laeve a rough looking texture that smooths up easily. I then wiped on Ospho. I a headed out to do more now.
