1970 Bronco Family Rig Build

[70BRCO]

Thanks everyone for the compliments...I can't wait to get it on the street/trail

Wow! Love it man. Great job.

Is the pic with the rear protofab bumper current?

The tire carrier is a Protofab, bought it from one of the members when he pulled it off...got the bumper from Tom's Bronco they have a local fab shop building them I think (I ordered it from them due to the turn around time, had it in my door step in 3 days). This pic is about 3-weeks old (had it chromed since this pic)

That is one sweet rig! I wish my project was moving as "slow" as yours!


Where in Glendora are you?

Thanks....I just can't wait till I'm at a point I can start driving it.

I'm right by Glendora High Scool, my front living room window faces the high school track...looks like we are in the same city, I'll have to keep an eye out for your EB on the road

Both of your rigs are sweet. Keep posting up the pics

Man both the bronco and F truck are awsome. It is nice to see that you drive and wheel the pick up. Too many people build awsome trucks and never use them!

Thanks for the pics of the truck. They don't build them like that anymore!

that is awesome! I have a question on the new backseat you bought since you have little ones, do you know if a booster seat and a car seat will fit? I want to possibly get some custom ones like you got but unsure if they would work with the little kids car seats.

I'm in love!!!

I just bought a 77 F-100 4x4 and it may have cost me one of your 40" tires! I planned on parting it out but looking at yours it makes my re-think it a little. That is one sweet ride!

Got some parts to work on my doors and start putting them together.

Rusty/broken pivet point

Took the vent widow completely apart to replace the pivot screw & weather stripping.

New pivot screw

Was able to get one widow put back together and mockup my new door panels before the rain made me call it a day

Was able to sneak out to the backyard this morning while the family got ready to go for a Sunday drive. Put on my new FORD letters and turn signal lenses

I hadn't really thought about whether or not the kids car seats would fit until you asked. The thought behind this project (aka as the way I justified another project to my wife %) ) was as a family toy, but I hadn't checked to see if the kids seats were going to fit....well now I know that they do fit, just have to figure out the seat belts still (btw my wife looked at me like what are you doing when I was taking the car seats out of her car ;D)...I have a 20 month old little girl in a car seat and a 3month old boy in an infant carrier car seat...here's a couple of pics

Hope these pictures help

Dude that is awesome thanks. I have a 3 year old and one year old. Where did you pick the seats up at?

Thanks bud. Congrats on the family. I actually got the seats straight from Mastercraft. The back bench seat is their Rubicon model 40" wide ( I think they might have recommended the 36", but the 40" fits perfect). Here is link to an article my brother wrote when he got me the seats

Haven't updated this build in awhile since I haven't really had time to work on it in a LONG TIME...I finally got around to finding someone local here in SoCal to get a family roll cage built for it and its coming out great, couldn't be happier with the great work.

Great looking EB!

 

[70BRCO]

Thanks...can't wait for the day when I finally get her on the road

 

[Heus33]

Cage looks beefy! Any frame tie-ins?

 

[stupidboy]
