Got the Brake kit and the new steering assembly... now to take care of the blasting and prepping of the rear axle.

Put in a order today for new bumpers (stock chrome) and new rear axle bearings/seals... making more progress :)

Pics soon :)

I read the whole thread and I have to say you have earned street credit. (I'm not really sure what that means) Great job. Are you ready to do another one?

I am pretty sure that you will drive yours before I drive it. Now, the question is, will you drive yours before I drive mine? ;D

looks great.
What did you use to cover the kick pannels around the speaker?
Love the look on the radius arms. Is that just silver por 15?

new photos...

Notice the nice ding in the tailgate from a runaway forklift :( Now the tailgate doesn't close... again :(

I have become the master tubing bender and double flare maker...

It's getting there... but I will AGAIN not drive to the NM M&G next weekend... I was hoping to limp there... but it ain't happenin'.%)

Hey Graf, you're way ahead of me!!!%)%) Heck, I wish my workbench was that clean!!!:cool::cool:

I'm one of the lucky few to get to help with this truck (a little), and I can guarantee that's not what that workbench normally looks like. ;D Adam's a genius at work, and geniuses are good at using every square inch!

That's a shame about the tailgate, but the work is excellent as always :cool:

Going to make some more progress on this biatch this week! Main thing is geting all the engine plumbed with this new badboy. The lower mounts will work fine but I'll have to fab some upper radiator mounts as the stockers just don't cut it.

Looking Good Adam.

I recently found out I'm gonna be searching HARD for a job in the next few months. That means, I may end up abandoning yet another Bronco project. I think I need to retire from this business and just work on Jeeps... There's plenty of those to dismantle. ;D
