these kits are old amt 1/25 scale 81 bronco(even though my particular kit has an updated 83-86 grill) and a 92 f150 lonbox (there are shortbox versions). and alot of careful cutting .if you don't need this style grill the easier to find kits are the re-released 1/24 monogram bronco and 90ish f250 s/cab

finally getting to it..
suspension mockup for height.these tires should be scale 31"


glued and smoothed out front clip and wheel rear wheel wells



grafted on front chassis clip from 84 bronco model.was just going to use the complete 92ish chassis but felt this was easier than messing with front suspension alignment(92 is 2wd) .still need to fill gaps and smooth out



should have body in primer soon and interior is just glued up with 80's dash in and bench seat

Is like it. The EFI'd 302 looks good with a C6 and NP208. But what's with the shorty headers?

.when I first got the truck 8 years ago the manifolds and exhaust were toast.on my truck I've got 1 5/8" equal length's leftover from my stang.not the correct ones as the drivers side exits wrong spot but exhaust is bent to fit.on the model these are just stock ones from a stang kit
