72 Bronco Rebuild

[Big Red Dog]

Thanks! I'm currently overseas so my "project" is on hold for the moment. However, I'm going back to the states for a month this summer and I'm lining up all sorts of work to do. Hoping to spend 2 solid weeks on this (maybe 3)!

I've been looking at a couple different fiberglass tubs. I'm liking the looks of the one from broncodesign.com. The bad news is shipping is $500 plus $300 in crating costs. The good news is my project is sitting in a garage in Sumerset, PA and broncodesigns is located about 4.5 hours away in cental PA. I could save myself some $$ by renting a trailer and dragging the rolling frame 4.5 hours, installing the tub on the frame and driving back. Even if I had to spend the night there I think it's still worth it. Just dunno about the quality. I read over the website and it sounds good. I really like the thought of the underside being as smooth as the outside. (thoughts of installing fiberglass bathtubs with jagged edges ripping the skin from my hands are flashing through my head!)

I'm also worried about the fit and finish with a fiberglass tub. Of course I may end up buying the tub, hood doors the works from this company.

Appriciate any thoughts/comment on fiberglass tubs.

Thanks,
Cliff

Broncodesign is a top notch company with a great tub. I checked one out at the MEB Round up and a couple of other shows. I have not used one personally but give them a call.

Back In The States (finally)

Hello Everyone,

I'm finally back from my overseas assignment. I actually returned in March and have been doing some minor work on the Bronco.

I met a woman before I went overseas and ended up doing a long distance relationship while I was gone. We ended up getting married in Oct. She's a wonderful woman who supports my "Bronco" habit"! She encouraged me to buy a trail rig and has enjoyed 4 wheeling with me at Rausch Creek,

In fact, she bought me a new tool box, 3 tap Kegerator and a SCAR H! She's a good woman!! I'm So lucky!

New work complete: installed rear brakes, Duff long are suspension, brake lines, fuel lines. I've ordered a tub from BroncoDesign. That's the good news. The bad news is I'm so far down on the list I won't take delivery until June of 14. So while I am back and can work on my project, I have limited work I can complete. Unless someone has some suggestions for what other work I might be able to complete while waiting for a new tub.....

I'll post a couple pics.

Cheers,
BRD (Cliff)

I can't post any pictures. What am I doing wrong? Has something changed?

It looks like you dont have Contributor status. You need to pay to get it.

I cant remember where it is but if you poke around the site you should find the form to upgrade.

Thanks John for all your help!! He welded in my Duff long arms, lends me tools and I even use his blast cabinet for part cleaning!!

Thanks again John!!

I'm really considering those arms. Mainly because I want to run a bigger tire and don't want the rubbing.

I'm actually considering doing my F350 the same way. The turning radius stinks. It is a cowboy limo "crewcab".
