forgot to put a picture of the original seats i was gonna used after they were cleaned and converted to go in the 84


the 84:



and the seats for it:

 

Subscribed, looking forward to another great build, Matt!

 

sold the trans, transfer case, and nine inch rearend out of it.

Entire drivetrain and axles are all gone.

next step is once i swap my axles on my 97 to mock up the one tons on this.

bought motor mounts for the cummins too

getting the trans out was a blast!

Found out what was wrong with the motor. knew it was blown when i bought it

The number 1 cylinder piston was in the oil pan in pieces.

the oil pump shaft was bent like a "s"/ the two rear most cylinder must have spun a bearing and were seized to the crank.

Had to unbolt the main and rod journals, beat the pistons up into the cylinders, and Andy beat the ever living **** out of the crank to finally get it out, all so we could get the torque convertor off.

I have made 550 bucks on this bronco so far, selling all the crap i didnt need.
here is my list: bought the bronco for 980
Sold:
Wheels and tires 400
front axle 225
front seats 150
rear axle 250
rear sport bumper 150
trans and t case 350

+545

here are some pics.

big thankyou to Andy (DazedandConfused) for all the help, His giant self comes in handy

 

That engine was FUBAR and I didn't help it with the hammer. I still believe that pain in my a** belongs in the bottom of the river. Lol

 

lol it was a nightmare

 

got some wheels and tires for it. was a good deal from a friend that wanted something different so I got em.

Sorry I forgot

Yupp the body now belongs to a young guy in Indiana

I came across a deal on a very nice 01 black excursion that is getting the cummins with a nv4500 Andy rebuilt and a dual disk south bend.

The red excursion is one from Georgia that was in Ohio on a trip when trans **** the bed I got for a steal and traded to Andy for the nv4500 he fully rebuilt since I'm a good friend


I'm gonna keep looking for another bronco body since I'm a huge fan of them only gonna try to find one a little nicer tub wise since I'm very ****


This one was nice but the tub had some spots

My next will come from out west

So for now it's on hold
