Introducing Milton

Hey Guys & Gals,

I picked up my first early Bronco about 8 weeks ago and am excited to get it ready for summer action here in Michigan. Milton is a '72 Explorer Sport with a 4" lift and 35" Weld off road and Nittos currently. 302 with a 3 speed on the tree. The body and frame overall are pretty good compared to what I have seen in the past, but I do need to do a full floor pan for it to be great, which I plan to do very soon.

Future plans include Silver Lake Sand Dunes along the shores of Lake Michigan, as well as a trip across Route 66 with my wife in a couple of years. We plan to do a floor pan, family cage, paint job, and a future drivetrain swap is inevitable as my life prior to Broncos has been all about racing Coyote swapped Mustangs. I'm here to learn, not to brag. I love my new rig already and am excited to start on the build once I finish my son's fox body Mustang in the coming month or so.

Looking forward to meeting some of you at some of the Bronco events in the future!

Welcome! It's nice to see another EB in Michigan. Sounds like you're already getting a plan together. If you haven't heard about it before you may want to put the Hudsonville swap meet on your calendar - May 6th this year - It's a good place to pick up some parts & ideas for your build. I've also heard rumors of a Bronco event at Holly Oaks ORV Park but I don't have a date for that yet.
