1978 Bronc Mudder

Hey, I'm new to the forums and thought I'd share my bro's Bronco with some folks that may appreciate it. Here she is... I'll post up a picture of my mom's too.

1978 Bronco, 351m, C6, 44" Gumbo Monster Mudders, spooled rear, cut fenders, custom grill and tail gate, Good story- he jumped it over 3 cars this year and broke the D44 in half so he gusseted the replacement D44, then he jumped it again and when the shocks broke in half the axle hit the oil pan luckily not hittin the crank. Lesson- Bronco's aren't stadium trucks... It's all good now tho. Here's the link to a video of him monster truckin it Monster Bronco Video by Kirby - MySpace Video
Here's a link to a video of one of his successful jumps

Just proves that if you wanna do things the truck was never intended to do you need to swap in components that are equal to the tasks you are going to put the truck through. Both are nice rigs. When I find a '78 or '79 that looks as good as that '86, I'll be thrilled. Welcome to the forums.

that f250 project with rockwells sounds like a good plan, maybe the bronco needs rocks too!

Rocks for the Bronco have been in the back of our minds for a while but he just hasn't had the $$$ to shell out for em yet. As for the 250, I landed four brand new 53s for $400 about a year ago and knew immediately I'd be savin for 2.5 tons.
