Thanks for the info. That tint looks nice, trying to figure out what I want to do on mine, and the truck looks good. What color toolbox you thinking of, black or the polished aluminum? I think black might look good.

Are you going with the tool box tonnuea? (I still can't spell that word worth a damn) LOL.
I was originally going to do a tool box tonneua on my 88 till I got the bed rails so now my plan is a regular tonneua and an in bed truck box. It will be more hidden to since all I will be keeping in their is my motorcycle gear and a few tools to work on the bike and truck (hopefully it never comes to that).

We did this awhile ago, but I don't think I ever posted it.


When we did the cab swap on the 93 we put in a new seat because the original looked liked this.


My cousin-in-law owns an upholstery shop so he fixed up the old seat, and my Dad and I built a frame for it.

So here is how it sits now, in our game room/man cave. (Dad's a big Cowboys fan)

A tool box and bigger, more aggressive tires and wheels are the best bang for your buck upgrade on a truck, cosmetically. IMHO

I've got the same thing on my pickup. I've got the fog lights wired to come on with my running lights, so I use them in traffic a lot. And when they're aimed right I've never had people flash lights at me to tell me they're too bright.


really love those older broncos. nice bronco.

Thanks. And I guess that, technically, it is a truck, and it's certainly pre-97. So I guess I could have posted a picture of it here before...

If I could have fit all mine and my sons hunting gear in one of those, I would have looked for one. I personally think they were the best broncos made(that will **** someone off), but a front solid axle makes it really great. Love that blue too.

I upsized to it from a CJ5 to get something that would fit my teenage sons in the back seat, as well as carry enough gear (and lunch) for day trips. I love it, being big enough for a family of four, but not too big (or at least not too much too big). But I still need the F-250 for carrying my family (and towing the Bronco) on trips.

I had it painted Sonic Blue (color code SN), a 2004 Ford truck (and car)color. I saw a lot of Rangers and Mustangs (and a few Super Duties) that color.

There's a build thread on it in my sig if you're interested.
