Here are some pics of a 77 Bronco I'm considering purchasing. I've wanted one forever but they are a major rarity were I live. I know of one show truck and one thats just beat all to hell from the mountains. I was planning on doing 7" and 37s on my F-150 w/ plenty of other nice mods to it but I found this little thing setting hidden on the way to go mudding a few months ago..been there for over a year. Apparently its in drive home shape, brakes feel good, 3 on the tree shifted fine, clutch felt good, gotta go sometime when the guy is there to start it and see how the old 5.0 sounds. It's completely original from the engine to the polyglas spare tire on the back. About as unmolested as they get. Body wise as you can see the front fender has a dent, the other has a couple places that are barely worth calling dents. It has some minor floorpan rust but the rest of it is as solid as a rock...even minimal surface rust on the body. Windows all roll good, wiring seemed in good shape overall, could use new tires and well...it could use a restoration..luckily i'd be a quicky to take to my friends bodyshop and get primed and painted and cost effective w/ me doin the work. Guy that has it at his place is selling it for a friend...he said his friend wants 4000 for it but when my '66 stang is sold I plan to offer the guy 3000 cash for it and just say 'look its been here for well over a year, needs restored, and some bodywork all of which isnt cheap(if i paid someone to do it) and this is what i'll give you for it" if he dont take it i might go up a little more but i'd be on about a 5000 budget including its restoration. Luckily I'm great at wheelin and dealin. Here's the plan if I get this little beast. Engine can stay how it is for now but I have an EFI 5.0 from a T-bird handy w/ only about 60k miles on it. Little cam and headwork and dump it in there. I probly could care less about the manual brakes, but power steering would be an addition. Take the body off the frame, strip the frame down and paint it and the axles and such. Clean the engine/tranny up and give all a refreshing. 33" BFG Mud Terrains which should use what, 3.5" lift and have full travel or do I need maybe a 1" body? Anyways rebuild the front suspension, strip the body, get it LineXed like Crazyhorse, interior, underside, front clip. Get it in paint, get all the new weatherseals in place. Maybe a 4pnt rollbar, high back seats, better restraint system, some type of system, prerunner bars front and rear, and just some other functional cosmetic changes, no hacking or cutting. And I'd probly drive it regularly..not every day but pretty regularly still..which comfort wise I've had 2 71s and a 66 stang so I'm very use to restoration and upkeep and habits. So what are your guys opinions on this...any suggestions from my currentl plan?
