As requested, the Bronco.

Some pics of when i got it. I bought it because the guy dumped a lot of money it. Rebuilt 400 and C6. D44 front 5.13's & Detroit locker. D60 rear 5.13's, full spool moser 1.5" 35 spline axle shafts. Bucket seats w/ 3 point harness. Bla bla bla plus it came with new quarter panels, new front fenders, new tailgate, and MINT oem hood and doors. Plus a whole nother parts bronco. I couldnt pass it up, just alot of body work.








Panels on:



Primered:









Done:

It looks good, but are you positive that it's got a D60 rear? It just doesn't look right with 5 lug hubs in the rear and it deffinately isn't a full floater if it is a d60. Shoot a pic of the rear diff cover and we'll tell ya if it is or not.

Motor wise i don't really know. It has been rebuilt recently, and sounds like it has a decent cam in it. However when i got it still had the ol' 2 barrel, that had to go. Found an performer 400 intake for $50 and topped it of with 600cfm Holley and wow what a difference. Hedman fender well exit headers w/40 series Flowmasters into turn downs. One of the best sounding exhausts Ive ever heard.

It has a 9' Skyjacker lift on it, which i looked up it was about $1200 for the lift alone. Axles I already mentioned. 37x14.5 boggers with atleast 50% thread. What else would you like to know?

Glad you asked.
Well first off, how much did you pay for it and the parts bronco?
Was the C6 built up or just rebuilt?

Uhmmm... actually I think that's all i've got.
