^^Hence my MAF vs SD thread earlier. Utah truck doesnt have the cancer thru the body mounts we expect from up here in the rust belt. It does have rot thru the pillars but it came with all new metal, have the drivers side about wrapped up, actual closes smoothly with nice body lines! Aint pretty yet but I've missed my Jeeps and Scouts for too long....another project I need!

HELL YEAH!!!

I have had two, '66/'76, and they are by far my favorite Ford trucks! Good luck with the project Russ.

Nope, been so buisy with welding in new door pillars
and inner fender sheilds I havent worried about it.

I'll bite the bullit and spend the $34 for one, if I ditch
the Ford powerplant someone on here will get use of it
Im sure. Speeking of wich, truck came with a fully machined 302 block and ground crank, never assembled!

Badass truck, but you gotta stick with a Ford powerplant.

Keeping the Ford powerplant is definately simply, gonna need an
EFI swap at a minimum for wheeling....hand in hand with turbos :)

Ya know Jim I got this 550hp Dodge 4 banger Im not
using yet, bet you'd like the Bronco more if I put the
2.5 Dodge Turbo in it wound'nt you ;)

Working on this thing Im guessing its not much longer
than my old CJ7, only thing I miss more is my glass
bodied, 327 CJ5...bad little toy.
