You know you've found a nice one when:

[NicksTrix]

thought this could be a fun thread. let's see some of the interesting upgrades you've seen or come across. here's a couple i've seen.

every bolt broken off in door the posts and some interesting patch work
custom exhaust
lawn mower fuel tank
carriage bolt through windshield frame


this was all on a "partial restoration"

I haven't seen those mods yet is that where someone tried to weld across the bottom of that windshield? I take that back I did see the mower tank on an old dodge before.

Sig bottle connected to an aquarium pump all held up with a coat hanger to fuel the carb...

range? 48 seconds!

 

[broncosbybart]

... the first thing you notice is the signature 'Bronco lean'. Upon closer inspection the rear leaf spring is broken and the broken end has punched through the floor of the tub!

I did enjoy the aluminum tailgate that someone fabbed up and used fence hinges and latches on. They even took the time to spray paint 'found on road dead' on it.

My '70's coil was powered by the oil and temp sending unit wires spliced together.

Some of them are just better left out to pasture.

foam filled rocker panel , plastic filled over....was a good one.
wood a-pillar with many carriage bolts holding all together.

and I have used the snowblower fuel tank on my 66 but used bungee cords for the real affect under hood...

 

[73stallion]

when i got mine the top had been sectioned, and it had 50lbs of bondo on it. tree branch had fallen on it....

 

[bax]

Did some one say foam in the rockers? here you go. Been there, did not do that. Also some fancy exhaust work.
Good thread Nick.

 

[DevilDog]

Ok, who wants to explain the reasoning for the foam? Recording studio?

 

[El Kabong]

... it has Super Extendo bumpstops to keep the diff from hitting the front sump pan, & uses the starter cable to soften the impact.

Or if it has a low profile air cleaner.

Flotation during water crossings!

How about all thread rods and double blocks on the 9", then there's the glad-loc fuse box and the one of a kind cup holders!!!!%)%)%)

Does the backseat carb location get less trail dust than one mounted under the hood?

 

[lonesouth]

someone could fill this thread with pics of my 73...

 

[tasker]

The tupperware fuse box is quite ingenious but crude nonetheless.

Here is the rare metal rear shock retainer band and bolt kit. Bolt brakes off of shock mount so what do you do, bolt a piece of metal over it.

I wish I had pics of mine when I got it. Chevy truck rear bumper cut up and made into a front bumper, no rear floor just a plastic bed liner cut to fit and drywall screwed to the inside and must have had a leaking brake like cause it had a nail shuffed in it oh and the center roof brace was drywalled scerwed to the roof skin from the inside out
