short time reader, first time poster

hello people,
i am new to this board as you can see. i have a 78 - 79 bronco that i have been working on for the past 4 years. i ended up changing my mind a month and a half ago to change it from a bronco to a pick up. i tore every thing out of the bronco and ripped the body off. i have since installed a 1976 F-100 cab on the frame, got the wiring all back together, reattacted the front clip, installed the dash and all others that accompany it. i left the 33 gal gas tank in it. i have 38 inch swampers with cut front fenders. i installed a 1974 460 over 2 years ago and have got it running but am haveing a few querks with it. i want to put a wooden flat bed on it ( since i cant get any box to fit it with out extencive sheet metal work). i will be coming to you guys for advice from time to time. from what i have read you all have a great knowledge of stuff that perks my attention.
Thanks for your time
Shane

Welcome to the site Shane. If you can't find the answer here, it probably isn't the answer. It sounds like you like to work on things.... I think I'd have found another pick up to do rather than change out the bronco, but what the heck... its all fun anyway.
