I wish I dropped a 7.3 in my Bronco instead of a new 5.8.

Just as i ordered the new 5.8, there were a few 97 diesel 4x4 F-350s for sale.

Most trucks just seem to disappear of the island somehow.

Maybe they are making a new reef out of them.

A diesel swap would be awesome, but its alot of work even when you have the donor truck.

I'd love to have a 53 no matter the engine but a diesel would be awesome.

A 1988 with a flux capacitor would be even cooler,
Imagine a time traveling Bronco.
I wonder what brand new Broncos will look like
In the future?

Hey guys... for those of you who live in the southwest part of the country, I've posted in the California and Nevada forums an announcement for a Death Valley Poker Run in March 2013. The more Broncos, the better, IMO.

Hmmm, I might have to try to make that!

But 175 miles off road in a newly restored Bronco is a bit hard for me to swallow...
