My second Bronco... Crawler build...

[Mountain Ram]

At home- it definitely won't fit into the garage... Had to remove the top and passenger door.

The drip rail on the top is good, but both sides and lift gate are shot. Anyone need the glass??

Pulled the top and risked pushing the windshield down... But was happy with what I saw... Dirt and mud, but no rust or rot.

Awesome look, no cage, no top, windshield down!

Re: My second Bronco... Crawler build- pic heavy!

Sweet!
If you want a hardtop lift gate I have one with glass you can have. I trashed a top but pulled the lift gate off and have no use for it.
Just let me know and good luck with the beater.

Thanks John, but I am not going to keep the hardtop. I may try the safari top look, but no full hardtop.

On to the spare parts provided with the truck...

AFR 165 heads with ARP rocker studs and Isky adjustable guide plates. Included Scorpion 1.6 roller rockers. Came off POs dad's F100 when he did a 460 swap.

E303 cam... Already sold to a Mustang buddy for $150...;D

Very dirty Cobra valve covers

Misc aluminum radiator, electric fan and hoses... No leaks with pressure.

Extra hood- very good shape, cuz the one on the truck is no good

I will take some pics of the good and bad tomorrow... It was a really LONG day! We did get it o fit in the garage, I have some stocker roller 8 lug wheels to throw on it and a lot of work.

Last pics for tonight... Pulling into the garage in my ghetto lean seat... I still had to duck under the garage door!

Started doing a little work today. Pulled the tires to throw on some rollers... Each tire had 2 or 3 actual lug nuts and the rest were standard (non-acorn) nuts.

Got to messing with the floors... The actually felt somewhat solid, but were obviously sagging and fiberglass end over. 1/4" thick Fiberglass, but the extent of the damage was readily visible from underneath.

Digging into the suspension components... Can anyone tell me what's wrong in these pics... Besides the shock being at max extension, the poor steering and trac bar?

Good base to start with.... the demo is fun!

I'm subscribed ... I know you will do it right. Keep the pics rolling ;D

Thanks Robert... its funny to see a truck with good components so screwed up...

Above the D60 is actually rotated forward... and the shackles on the rear leafs don't even work!! Anything to get a truck tall enough for 39s!!

I have to see if I can remove the body lift or if I need it for the 351/C6/205

 

[Mountain Ram]

Do you consider it progress if you are still tearing it down...

Pulled the super awesome dual front shocks! I also got the front fenders & grille off. Looking for rot... Found some in the rockers, which will be cut off anyway.

It looks like it may have had a driver side fender bender at some point. Also- without the pass side front body mount, the rear of the inner fender has torn and is weak...

 

[SC74]

OH yea... demo is still progress!!! Got to tear it apart to build it back

Overall it looks like it's solid - I've seen a lot worse! For what you are going to do with it I think you've picked a good one.
