great job on the rear seat install!

 

Thank you 78Explorer

 

I do have some news, there is a change of plans in the bronco project. There was a fellow at work who has a 79 f-150 with a 400, 4speed 4x4 that he is tired of looking at an wants to get rid of it . so I am going to be taking possession of this truck an will be parting it out ! I will be converting the bronco to a 4 speed truck . I love driving stick .

 

hey what shape is the f150 in wink wink

 

I don't know yet joe f350 . I have yet to see it . When I do go pick it up I will post some pic's

 

As I promised here are the pic's of the parts truck that I'm getting the 4 speed parts from.













That's all for now its winter time but I will keep you all informed as there is progress.

 

Parts trucks from Oregon are sure in much better shape than parts trucks in Virginia ! that thing looks fixable to me !

 

That's the benefits of living in the desert .Don't worry won't be wasting anything from this truck . What I don't use I will sell. I could fix it but I need my bronco done so I'm going to sacrifice this truck for the good of my bronco.

 

Hello I know its been years since i posted anything here so let me give an update on my bronco. The parts truck i got for a manual trans swap was a bust .The trans turned out to be junk so i will just going to pull the c6 out an repair it .The other thing that has changed is i'm going EFI on my 351M it is a budget build cause $$$$ s always tight. for my EFI i scavenged the computer,wiring harness, MAP sensor,coil an the ignition module. I had the throttle body already .
making the harness



time to solder everything


harness done

fitting harness on motor



throttle body with adapter plate



MAP sensor an fuel pump relay mounted


coil an ignition module bracket



Okay coil and ignition module mounted .That's it for now and it wont be 4 more years till next post lol

 

It's ok, this way the newest members get to see your project too, without searching 4 years of threads.

 

I see you have a yellow and white one there taken apart, back in the 80's i had two,the ladies loved them colors,it was a great time to be single

 

Well the yellow an white body you see was the original body of my bronco It was to rusty to fix plus the cost of rust free tub from work was only $100 an i pulled it on my weekend was a no brainier .

I also received a box from speedway today that contains a 20 circuit brand new wiring harness cost $180 with shipping will take some pics tomorrow .
I also ordered some relays from summit so i can redo the entire wiring in the bronco. well thats it for now

 

Update time :I got a few more boxes in the mail today . My wiring harness an the B&M Megashifter showed up, i ordered some fender wellheaders for the bronco okay here some pics of the goodys


one 20 circut complete wiring harness from speedway












hmmmm looks good right about there

 

UPDATE:
It is with a heavy heart to announce this project will no longer be finished the reason is I got really sick I was diagnosed with cancer in 2016 and over the years it has spread I'm fighting it with everything I got. I'm doing pretty good but the bronco project is too much for me to handle right now

 

Wow, that's sad to hear. Good luck on the cancer thing...
