i started this build the middle of may and finished it in time to go to tellico last weekend with fsb.com
as you can see from the pics , ive been busting ass.
i'd like to thank a few members from this forum for their help.
studnuts: tube work, gubni: selling me the bronco, upnover: propane , cyjcrawler: delivering me the propane from chip,
hd78bronco: welding up some mounts for my ram assist,
doc: helping me strip my 79 for parts and putting it back stock and we had to strip 2 stock fords to get all the stuff i needed to get the 79 up and running in near stock form . we turned lots of wrenches for long hours, zubz: andy hooked me up with psc gear box- psc ram- synthetic winch cable - and a few other parts. s104u: side bars .thanks to all.

thanks.
remember , i had 90% of the parts off my 79.
i bought the 74 for $1,000.00 and i sold $800.00 worth of parts off of it. i also sold my 79 to doc and i sold several parts off the 79 that i didnt use on the 74 and i hussled lots of axles, tranny's, and t-cases for extra cash.

Good job on the build Mike! If the Bronco works half as good as it looks you'll have a great rig!

working on paint right now.
 
Wow Mike! I don't know how I missed this thread. It sure is a far cry from the bronco you had at tellico last spring when I met you. I know you were talking about building something more appropriate for wheeling, but geesh. Nice work!
