1975 Project Sweet Pea -- KS

[addicted]

You tried wcb4x4.com? Im pretty sure they are still in business. Their stuff is pretty spendy but really good quality from what I've heard. Them seem to geared more towards racing than most of the other vendors so I imagine their long travel set up would be well engineered.

Yea. All the fabrication I've seen from them is top notch. Keep us posted with pics as you go along. Youre Bronco is Sweet!

Harvey, where are you at in KS? I have a 75 KS tag , needs a new paint job, but that year was white w/ green outline and numbers (if ur interested)

HEY! Missed your post...I am on the East side of town out by Andover. Work just south of Central Business District.

Hmm, I would be very curious on that '75 tag!

Your in ICT, sweet! Im up NW, K96 and Meridian. Good to see someone from around here on the site. When I get mine on the road (soon I hope) we should meet up and talk shop. I'll send you a pic of that tag, registering my 76 tag this week. ;D

Well, been a hot summer so far in the shop but managed to get some work accomplished. BC Broncos full front disc and power brake setup is on and finally working properly! Yay! What a difference a vacuum hose makes. LOL

Bought a Holley 470 Truck Avenger and swapped out the Edelbrock 600...AND the Flowkooler/Derale fan... No more warm horse. it was just over 100 today in ICT amd i let it idle for a bit, shut it down and it fired right back up...with the 600 Edlebrock it would have had to sit for a bit to fire...yeah baby!!!

the k&n was a TIGHT fit but just snuck under the stock hood with no BL.

Now a VIN inspection and new tags...then I can get my wife off my rear to sell it...when I get her behind the wheel again.

 

[FlogginHarvey]

Got a couple pics...man I am pumped to get this thing further along.

Getting there...ignore the bungee on the Optima...working that out.

Sounds like you need to give sweet pea some attention and start driving her ALOT more....I bought mine 5 years ago and have put 25,000 miles on the ole girl....

Coming along nicely. Looks like a track bar riser is in your future. Keep the pics coming and get to driving that bronco.

[FlogginHarvey]

Wow! 25k!? I think I have less than 200 since 2006... . BUT now she is almost there for grocery getting and mall cruising...then the dunes...and hoping for OCBR

Yeah, I noticed the trac bar/steering linkage when I took the pic...now I just need to learn how to weld...properly. not sure which to go with as I have a 55" lift now and looking into installing the 4.5" springs and the WH 2" BL some time later this year. It NEVER ends.LOL

And thanks to everyone who helped with details on the disc conversion install.

Hey bud! Good to hear from you. I lost your email/phone and wanted to look at that '75 tag if you still have it collecting dust.

Would love to get together when I get done bouncing around for work.

Working like mad to do it! My cousin has a 78/79 his dad bought new and they restored when in high school and they still own it! He is in Rogers/Bentonville area and trying to talk him into making it as well...too many farm shows!:-0

I would like to get together as well, I know how it is w/ work, I'm in the same boat. We have another Bronco Brother here on the site from Wichita as well (Brittain). Maybe we can all get ours together sometime.

That tag is still hanging on the wall out there in the garage, it isnt going anywhere, it'll be here when your ready.

I'll PM you my contact info.

 

[FlogginHarvey]

Just realized I haven't Ben around or done much of anything besides work in a long time. Now work on mine but had a holiday weekend and 105*+ temps. So stayed inside and got something smaller finished up! still wanting to get together with the Wichita EB'ers this late summer or fall when I get her registered!

Axial Wraith with Proline '73 EB body, Tekin RS Pro/13.5 BL on 2S. Really fun bashing around the yard and Lake with this and electric is so QUIET!

Nice RC man......

 

[FlogginHarvey]

Nice RC man......

Thanks homie! Wish I had some monsters on the SweetPea

 

[FlogginHarvey]

Okay, some small headway for bigger things finally...ordered the Battlement Fab front radius arm, coil buckets, and front shock mounts plus a bloody knuckle garage rear shock mount and 4x king 2.5 rezzies with compression adjusters today!!! I'm pumped to get them in and get the install over with!!! Currently have WH 4.5" coils & leafs to swap out the 5.5" lift.

If anyone wants a cheap lift and radius arms they'll be going up as soon as the new gear is on...

Hey Floggin Harvey, i might be interested in that lift, Im here in wichita, I believe we talked a while back. Kings on all 4 corners will be pretty awesome!
