This is my 2012 Bronco trapped in a 1978 body. In Feb. 2012 i decided it was time to rebuild the ole boy. As always i started off with the mechanical, cause great looking trucks look ridiculous on the side of the road with the hood up and hazards on. I dropped a 480HP 460 in it, attached it to a freshly rebuilt C6 and NP205. Completely rebuilt both axles (9" rear/ Dana 44 front), all new everything. The only thing original now is the body, frame, and interior. This was going to be a show truck for the truck club me and my boys were going to try to start here in AZ, but the economy tanked and now i never have a spare nickel. I will add more pics as the project comes along, and i enjoy looking at the other builds on here for ideas.

It had four diff sized tires and white 8 spokes on it when i bought it, so we threw these horrible 17s on it to drive it around. Can't beat free;-)

 

As you can see my wife's name is Amy and that was a parts bronco.

 

This is the typical load we used to haul,since the economy tanked we no longer have any of the toys. They will be missed:'-(

 

I bought this bronco just for the factory push bar that i had chromed and the bench seat i need for all my kids.

 

This is after installing the 4" rough country lift with rear blocks.

 

I didn't like the California sag, so i installed new rear springs.

 

My factory push bar that i had chromed and my buddy JB78F150 wants to permanently borrow.

 

Looks ridiculous with these little tires and big rims.

 

Test fitting some 35s.

 

Sitting on 35" non-dot legal race tires.

 

This is when we started the tear down. The HOA loves me.

 

Talk about a greasy mess!

 

I'm going to miss the pockets on the doors. Unless anyone knows where i can get brown ones.

 

All cleaned up and ready for paint.

 

Front axle complete.
