Hi

New to the site....not new to trucks. Pretty much had em all (nothing outside GM, Ford, Dodge though) Just can't justify buying "the others". Not gonna do it.
This is my First Bronco, after selling my 94 F-150 longbed to the neighbor kid for $600 bucks (He needed a reliable truck for a new job in construction, and I was glad to help him out).
this 95 Bronco has 207K on the odo. The guy I bought it from, (Know him from our USAR Team) purchased it new in 95. He has taken pretty good care of it.
To be honest I don't know too much about the truck yet...but I'm getting there. Has the 351w, 3" body lift, Warn hubs, and almost everything works....so not to bad considering.
In the near future, I plan on freshening up the motor, trans, ect....then go from there.
I look forward to everyone's experience...and TIA for the welcome.
Thread would be worthless without a few pics...so here ya go...

Thanks, I did put in for joining the chapter... waiting for a response from the "Chapter Manager".
I hope to meet some of the local gang in the future. In times past...and on a different forum... I put together a few GTG's that were quite successful.
Was really into drag racing then... different story now...so getting back into 4X4's.
I just met with an engine builder today...talked briefly about ordering a crate motor (Jasper), versus rebuilding. I am leaning to rebuilding...but we will see what the bottom line ($$) is.
There are pro's and con's to both.
He mentioned an RV cam...so that got my attention....
putting a different cam, heads, .and .. and . We will be meeting in the future to go over more details.
All I told him was I want to build for torque... and I do not plan to add blowers, turbo's, happy gas...or the like. Been there done that.

When the time is right... I will start a thread regarding this build.
Thanks for the welcome...see ya on the board.

One of my prior builds....




Was getting ready for "season" at Sunshine one night...working on my 60's and clean shift's... had one of my hose clamps blow off the radiator.
announcer made me look like an idiot... ("looks like someone forgot to tighten the radiator cap")
At least it was noticed before I made the pass.
