Are you going to cross the driveshaft over from the Jeep Tcase to the Bronco Axle (Tcase output is Pside and Axle is Dside)? Or am I missing something? Looks REAL nice!

I put a wide Jeep Dana 30 in the front now, so the drive line drops on the passenger side now. i thought it would be too narrow at first but having it sit in there, it looks fine.

It all looks great but why a jeep axle and trans case? A dana44 from a 76 or 77 would have had disc brakes, been bolt in and is stronger? Bronco Dana 20 t case is also just about bullet proof for most broncos so why go thru the trouble of mounting a jeep case. But I will say again everything looks real nice!

i used the jeep setup because i had already decided to use the Borg Warner Super T-10 tranny, and they dont make an addapter for the Bronco Dana 20. if they did i would of left the ford setup in, it would of been alot easier.

I really like the removeable panel you built into the cowling. Is that your power brake setup under there? Is there still room for your window defrost, steering column, etc? Very unique!

its just regular brakes and the clutch. its for a hot rod but i wanted the fire wall to be smooth. plus its all hidden under the dash now. i wont have a heat or defrost or ac in it. the column is shortened i will post a picture
