Its a built 351 thats waiting for a Kenne Belle Blozilla . I have most everything but the blower to do the conversion . The only reason I am leaving the limited in the rear is it was in there when I got it and its almost new . I will most likely run a detroit when the limited goes .
Thanks for the input guys I will post some more up next week when its on all 4's .

Can I ask you all a really stupid question.... This will show my ignorance... 
Anyway when trucks are called 3/4 ton or 1/2 ton - what does that refer too? Cargo capacity or it sounds like from this thread, is it the axel weight?
I hate to show my ignorance, but my curiosity is killing me.

Well when you buy a truck from a dealer it refers to the handling capacity , running gear(axles,drivetrain) , in some trucks a heavier frame . I am using the term to describe the axles that I am converting to , considering the bronco comes as a 1/2 ton with a TTB 44 and an 8.8" and now I am going to a Dana 60 and a Sterling 10.25" .

I have a GT40 and almost everything to do the conversion . It has been down for about 2 months from when we tore the suspension out , I sold the old setup to a kid from the neighborhood . There are more pics on my Superford page , just search for Had2doit .

If only they came from the dealer that way! Nah.. it would only take the fun out of modifying your rig... Nice job BB94Bronco, I only wish that my skills for modification were nearly as good as yours as I only stick to simple stuff.

I will put it simple , its not easy to get a short wheelbase truck this high . I spent a bit over 6K doing it myself , I am also a perfectionist and even went the extra step to get it all powdercoated .
The truck will be at bloomsburg this year , I can't wait to get it there . I am hoping for a mag shoot but won't be disapointed if I don't get it .
Once again thanks for all the positive feedback .
