Finally got this project up and going...

[ProjectCumminsBronco]

Got all my parts sand blasted picked up a body with hardly any rust just a few minor spots in the floor. The Cummins is out getting rebuilt right now so it will be fresh. Ordered my lift the other day 4.5" Superlift with new rear springs and traction bars. Built a little 2.5" aluminum body lift to help clear the intake on the cummins. Got my 4:10 Yukon gears in the mail.

Almost ready to start putting everything together...

Here are a few pics.

Minor rust

No more motor mounts and stock shock towers

The only way to move Bronco parts and sandblasted

Wow, just think I had to lift my frame with my little 29hp Tractor, hope you didn't push the load limits on that crane! ;D


And now my sandblaster and Air compressor seem really inadequate...

Looking really good! Can't wait to see the Cummins mounted up. What size and what tranny are you going to use?

Haha I heard that ol Galion bog down a few times haha;D ;D Those Ford 9"s are awful heavy!!

this also works good for moving bronco parts around haha

Yea I was using a piss ant blaster and compressor and a buddy of mine told me to bring it out to the pipe yard he had a real one we could blast with....like 2hrs for the whole sheeebang!!!;D

I'm using the NV4500 and hopefully an Atlas 203 Tcase

Looks very good! Sandblasting everything and starting clean is the way to go. Can't wait to see this come together.

....like 2hrs for the whole sheeebang!!!;D

That is awesome! You don't know how many hours and hours I have in wire wheeling all of mine down and they still were not that clean (plus the hours of scrubbing afterwards)!

Whats up JD? Hows the rig going? Gimmie a ring sometime.

 

[Bronco]

awesome set of tools. I'd like to tell myself if I had access to that sort of stuff I would do a frame off, but you and me both know that's a load of bs.

 

[KuttySark]

I very much envy your workshop.

I used to own that tub! That was my first floorpan replacement (driver side) and those are my chalk marks for patch panels. You got a good tub.......cool to see it getting a diesel conversion.

Did you change the spring rate for the front?

Whats up man? I've got new panels for that one side, new rockers, new rear tail light holder and new passenger quarter panel all ready for Matt to start putting it on.

It should all be together and going pretty quick.
