sorry thought you guys might dig it, its been my motorized existence for a couple years. Trying to get it running and on the road so i can change focus over to my c10. I'm in the military so don't have a ton of time but i'm doing my best. I know its not a 200k dollar camaro, but i'm trying to buy the right parts the first time.

hope you liked it.

[CRCRFT78]

Looks cool to me. Something different is a good thing.

[onelapduster]

One of the trucks i would like to own in the future. Looks great.

[Rick D]

Nice build, I love the old broncos!!!

[SSLance]

My formative automotive years were spent in the 4x4 world and I still enjoy watching nice 4x4 builds, please continue updating your build. Looks like you've got a real nice start on it!

[WSSix]

Love the original small Broncos. Great looking build. Good luck finishing it up.

[BigJoe]

thanx guys i have been loving this site and can't wait to start on my c10/ls3 build but i know better then to tackle 2 builds at once especially on my paycheck, lol.

one this bronco gets running and driving i'll be diving into my c10. Still plan on completing my tri-fecta of muscle with a gen1 or 2 camaro as soon as i can find a base car.

[Spiffav8]

Love the color! Friend of mine resorted one not to long ago and it was the first I had ridden in a Bronco of that era. Love it! Sure to be a lot of fun for years and years!!

[intocarss]

:patriot: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

[INTMD8]

Very nice!

For some reason I have a strong urge to cut the window frames off of the doors :lol:

[efs69]

Nice Bronco. :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

[Hognuts]

That thing is badass Joe!

[Yelcamino]

I love the early Broncos (learned how to drive in my dad's '69) and yours looks like it will be bad azz!

[69x22]

I always liked those old Broncos. Looks like yours is pretty nice.

[grendel]

I do 4x4 as well.

I do many projects at once, or I go nuts :)

[BigJoe]

again sorry for the pro touring guys, I do intend to get to my c10 and camaro soon. Just need to wrap up this monster.

being in the service really hasn't helped me any. I've been gone pretty consistently the last year or so.

Some Assembly Required, Level of Frustration May Vary. : The Seemingly Sometimes Lost Art of Quality Work (http://someminorassemblyrequired.blogspot.com/2015/03/the-seemingly-sometimes-lost-art-of.html)

a blog i started just for some place to vent, and bull**** about my other two projects lined up behind this on
e. i'm deploying again and finally found a shop to help me while i'm gone that I trust. Working with strangefab metacraft out of tuscon, owner/ operator's name is Mark Hanson. absolutely insanely talented and a ton of offloading experience.

went to pressure wash the engine bay and the paint started peeling (great bodywork) so I went from this

[DBasher]

Joe the bronco looks cool and you've got some great parts going into it....does that "thing" next to it say C/BFMS? If so I'm going to need some more info on that!

[BigJoe]

That's a nice touch powder coating the console with a clear coating. Good luck!
