btw 500 for a running driving 1978 bronco in northern mn screaming deal!!!!!! Just wait till u see the pics. The top is good and the back window works like a charm, all though the front axle needs a rebuild though thats all thats wrong with it!

Share Pics of your 78-79 bronco!

 

If its $500 the first thing I'd do is a complete and full all around tune up on everything. Grease every zerk fitting you can find and change all the fluids.

I like broncos, 33-35'' tires fit very nicely on them.

 

Yeah it's in really decent shape this guy had routine maintain done by a shop while he was driving it daily and it's been used only on his property to move trailers around for the last 7 years..

 

Here's my '78

 

What mods do you have to that pretty bronco..... Suspension, axles, etc. and motor if you don't mind me asking.

 

4" deaver superflex coils from BGY, radius arm drop brackets, chromo steering links and trac bar, 4" drop pitman and drop trac bar bracket.... HP KP D60 up front, sterling 10.25 out back under a SKY manufacturing rear shackle flip for ~ 4" lift in the back.

Mild 460 into stock c6 with ~2-2.5k (Kris?) stall, np205..

39.5" boggers, cut fenders

custom paint lol

Think that's about it. Obviously got a roll cage in it. Ask if there's anything else you're wondering about.

 

You must have done the coil spring on the front. I was figuring I'd just do leafs when I did the d60 conversion. Half ton should be plenty good for me with chromally shafts though. How's my setup sound pretty stout for mild off roader?

 

Yeah, you should be fine for a mild trail/mud truck as long as you don't lock the front and stay away from the rocks with 35's. Any bigger tire or any traction adder in the front and you'll probably start to see problems.

 

Why, you going to send him to me as well? I do need the money so I'm ready for another project

 

There isn't many rocks here it's old mine dumps swamps and mud holes. I'm in northern minnesota oh did I mention snow lol and lots of it.

 

get some mattracks for the snow

 

The Iron Range and Dresser have rocks......


Paul y do u always post the same dam pics ??

 

I don't care for competition stuff or big group rides. I am in Hibbing which has all sorts of mines around it. Red mud haha. Just me and some buddies hit the pond and coffee grounds. I will put up picks in spring.

 

'cause I'm a web wheeler and haven't been on a real trail since I got my boggers

 

Makes sence.........
