Reason: add error msg.s.
Alan is a world class fabricator, I met him thru Craigslist many many years ago. I sold him a 77 grill shell so he could change his 79 to a 2 piece insert truck. We then became FTE buddies. Then I sold him a 79 4wd F150 frame and running gear to make his 2wd 4wd. He did the body swap by himself, over a weekend, with out a lift. Then I sold him a rear Dana 60 and Dana 44 8 lug outers/knuckles so he could make his truck a F200.
He has came to my house many times and helped me work on my trucks and Bronco. He has had a hand in many FTE Missouri chapter wrench fests. He is in deep in the modern day monster truck world. And will air out his truck just like the big high dollar rigs. And when he drives theirs for them, he really air it out.
He built this in his drive way for a friend.
He built this trailer into a hauler for his monster truck and even built the living quarters in the front of the trailer. Swing out tire crane and all.
And in his "spare" time (lol) he builds repop Warn winch bumpers.
He is the one that helped me with my Bronco roll cage and tube bumpers.
Designed to be able to run the fenderwell boxes and a 35" spare tire.
Love the old school monsters.
Back when I was a teen and monster trucks were just starting to come on the scene there was a dentside monster called Santanimal.
It originally had tracks at the 4 corners. Several years later it morphed into a bull nose truck with tires.
It is owned by a company local to me called Santana Trucking and they still use it for display and events.
They have a pick of it on their Google page: https://g.co/kgs/rEZZHfy
Yepp. The bull nose version I believe is like you describe.
Wheelie mode without even running due to weight shifting or something.
I think it also has a pivot that allows the frame to laterally twist letting the cab be in a different plane than the bed..
I don't think the original dent side had any of that.
There is nothing like the feeling of dropping one of your front tires off a ledge at slow speed and having the short wheel base Bronco teeter back and forth forcing you to make a decision on which way to proceed.
My CB hasn't left pavement for many years as it is too expensive to fix after any mishaps.
When I commit I commit, I once started to go down a very steel trail/cliff with many 3' and drop ledges. As soon as I went over the 1st ledge the Edelbrock gave up running. So I went dead stick down the hill, no p/s, no p/s, no throttle. I can tell you what flavor my seat cover is.
I hear ya on not wheeling the real nice ones. My red one came with a dent in the front fender, some rust in the typical Bronco places. Cut fenders and quarters and 5.38 gears. Rear spool and front locker, so not really a pavement rig to start out with. I like being out on the trails in a early Bronco.
The Bruggy is mostly stock, but I at least do not have to worry about body damage.
The son in law got this Bronco a while back, well what is left of a Bronco. No tears shed if you bump something. I worked on it so much I just bought it from him. https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1...-wing-man.html
Not even close. I was referring to the way the site changed my avatar pic.
I can't afford (even the #4?, 3? condition it is) to bring in new/pieces for those
if damaged. 40* is about as much as the drive can go, we’re in hill country, not
mountains (East: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tully_Mountain;
West: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mount_Greylock ) and centered in the Connecticut
River Valley between (see my Lawrence swamp bio).
Avatar pic placement problem, is a FTE IB "contact us" for help issue. I can not do much from my end of the line, but reach out the same way. I would not want to have to buy repop pieces either.
I would not want to have to buy repop pieces either.
then how do you do it? U must as you’re replacing stuff all the time? Enuff junk prts around?
No, I C new stuff too. Besides
I gotta B gentile, not just on $ but my stomach (upside down, jigglin, I too old’n sore) too.
BTW: I did ask 4 help when it occurred (2 yrs ago?). "Cant do it" is what I recall...
Well I do try to wheel it carefully and within my driving capabilities and manage to still have fun. Lol I have not had to replace any "body" panels. Who did you ask for what 2 years ago?
Our local (FTE Region) leader isa puter maven. I think he said "it’s a site anomaly (?). so they
may not have a solution”.
Not replacing body panels is a testament to ur driving ability !
