Must be the high altitude! I'll have to be careful and take my spray foam can to ward off the lack of good air, when I go to Nashville week after next. LOL

I noticed Red has the 39s for the Bama Brawl, Ford Man. Did you tell me you sold the 19-44s? My half cab trail truck still has the trans buzz in reverse and I was thinking you could bring those 44's and I will put them on Old Blue(even though its not a Bronco)and ride! We might have to trim or beat the fenders into submission for the big meats but those 8 lugs should bolt up! What do you think? You can see a little room around those little 35s!

That 77 250 is bad ass! What's under the hood?

Ole Blue

That 77 250 is bad ass! What's under the hood?

Ole Blue is an October '76 build that has a FE engine. It is a 390 bored .030 with 4v rods and crank. The heads are 428 with stainless valves and manley double springs. The cam is an isky with hedman elite headers and 3" exhaust with big block (series 50) flowmaster mufflers. The intake is an eldebrock performer RPM with a Holley TA 670. It really needs a little more carb, but....
Here is a photo.....It's not a good shot.....The only one I could find tonight.

Sorry to mislead you - I thought I was being positive;D

As for the spray foam I believe ProjectBronco70 can be considered an expert in the application to Broncos.
The build is coming along slowly. It's a wagon that had a very few rust issues that have been addressed. Now trying to get the body ready for paint. Was four different colors - original paint, repaint, primer, and rust.

Good deal I dont know if that winch is going to cut it. Whats the finish date will it be ready to do some riding this fall?

 

[fordfan]

WOW...NOS Half Cab & bulkhead.

Look at these awesome parts! Notice spot welds and gas weld on bulkhead! (NOS with my finger crossed.)

The winch and bumper were one of the first things to hit the scrap pile.
