My best bronco yet! ....careful lots of pics!

Postby rtreads » Mon Jan 17, 2011 6:14 pm

So back in September 07' I convinced my lovely wife that a bronco would be a great hobby for the 2 of us and we could still use it camping and all once the family go bigger. I had 2 broncos earlier. My first car was a 66' bronco. I then bought a 73' a year later and tore it appart. I sold the 66 to fund the finishing of the 73'. I have always regretted selling it. Anyway, when a neighbor moved in with a bronco, my passion surfaced again!

I bought this bronco out of Kansas. My brother and I drove 22hrs straight to go pick it up. I have been working on it since.

Here are only some pics of the process...

That is one bad-A Bronco. Great Bronco story. Love the Rock Skis, custom dash, and the front bumper may me the coolest ever. Really nice work. Really happy you found the club.

Here is my second bronco... the one I built in highschool. It was cool, but no where as built as the one I currently own.

What Bedliner did you use your current Bronco? It looks professionally installed. I am going gray and have found very few DIY Liners in Gray.

Welcome to CCB.

I really love your new front bumper.

Functional, great lines, and not "over the top" like most pre-runner style bumpers look to me.

It isnt a bedliner. It is actually an epoxy primer. DP90, in a valushade 3 if I remember correctly. I used black raptor liner after the primer and seam sealer.

I dont know where you may have seen it? I have been looking to find it for the last 3 years. Heck I would have bought it back.

I wonder what condition it's in? I put MANY hours and tons of $ in that bronco.

I used to see that yellow and purple bronco around broomfield a bit. In fact my dad and I were talking about it the other day and how we haven't seen it in a few years. There was also another one around that was green if i remember right that used to always rev and wanna race.

Here are some pics of the weldernator and york compressor install on the explorer serp system. It took a while to figure out where to place everything. I made a custom set of brackets to get it all in. The first bracket mounts to where the factory explorer AC unit mounts. It has tabs and holds the weldernator down low. Then there is a sled that mounts to the york compressor, then bolts on studs welded to the main bracket.

It was a long process, but I think it turned out really well. All I have to do now is wire the weldernator and plumb the compressor.


...I have more pics, but it will only let me post 2??
