Well heres the deal. - About a month ago I bought a 69 Bronco with the intent of making it a nice off-road toy. Nothing major. just a new suspention and tires. - That sounded easy enough, espcially for me and my father, neither of us has ever really worked on a car before, We thought this would be an easy first stab at auto-mechanic 101.
HA - if only it were that easy.
Heres what we started with.
Fairly stock Bronc, the only mods were cut fenders, dual shocks on every tire and a roll bar. It had the original 302 with 200,000 miles (supposedly) and ran pretty good (except for the oil that shot out the tailpipe when you cranked it). The body had hardly any rust - or so we thought.The floor pans and bed, which are made of fiber-glass(its not very pretty) are a sad sight and maybe I'll show you the 2x4s someday.
Having never done this before, I forgot to take a nice "before" of it when I started. So heres how she sits halfway through the suspention.
