My Frankenstien

I have not posted this here yet so I thought I would grace you with my presence
here is my 78 Bronco that I am bringing back from the dead with parts from my other trucks and a 351W out of my street rod
it was a rusty, crusty pile of poo when I bought it for $700 with a blown motor, but it called out to me and I had to have it, the project stalled for a bit when I bought a 76 F250 4x4 Hi-boy but I am now back on track and using the 250 for parts (I broke it out playing with it) I hope you guys like it. Later...Rick

Yea they are the one the factory should have used if you ask me,
and no I didn't put new quarters on it, I was scrapping an old Chevy Corsica my mom left here, so I cut off any sheet metal and any other parts I could use and I made all my own patch panels, welded it all up and used very little bondo, I had ground out places that had over a half inch of bondo in them ??? later I traded my 96 s-10 blazer for a 76 F250 4x4, drove that until I broke it out beating on it, now I am using parts from that too
it is starting to come together nicely and I am very pleased with it so far

Well thats how the bronco was going to look like if ford hadent kept pushing the project further up. The fullsize bronco was originally going to come out in 74 or 75
