I can't wait to see this!!! Putting a PSD in a Bronco is something I have wanted to do for a long time. I wanna keep it 4wd though. A 2wd lowered with a PSD in it is gonna be sweeeeet! PLEASE post pics!! Good luck with the project! Where did you get your drop beams? Are they DJM Dream Beams?

Another PSD Bronco project; very cool!
I will be following this as well, as I am still trying to decide if I want a 7.3, 6.4 or cummins in my Bronco. (Leaning toward all Ford)
The 2wd bronco will be interesting to see though!

the bronco is already restored and has a black soft top. I wasn't going to offroad it and wanted to be able to pull my trailer and still get decent fuel economy. DJM dream beams, were not in stock and had to be ordered, they fit F250 and F350 2wd and were significantly more $$$$ than F150 beams. I figured I should do it right as I figure I will drive it like its stolen
I have a low mile 2005 6.0 Van that may donate its heart to the Bronco eventually but the 7.3 is all bolt in parts form the 96.

Well you could do it the harder way.
I saw a guy at the Hudsonville swap meet that had a 78/9 bronco and he cut the front half of a '00 SD with the 7.3 and put it together with the back half the Bronco frame. Was some pretty nice work, but it took him like 3 years or something.

well I messed this up, started into some checking ove rmy donor truck and it was a 4/95 build date, not 4/96 I wrote down in my notes.
wasted a week off work, so i'm using a 97 powerstroke/ZF I had stashed away. not quite the build I was planning but?

This is something I will be watching. I think it should be an awesome project.
A build date of 4/95 should still be a PSD. I don't know why it should make any difference...

Yeah, it's a PSD. I was wondering why the 4/95 powertrain couldn't be used. There are minor differences (HPOP type, etc), but shouldn't affect a transplant. 'Course, if it's a near-complete truck, and gotten for a song, it might be more apropos to clean it up and turn it around for a few $$$$.
