Thanks guys, lol ya that name may just have to stick Dan. I'm not working on it tonight, but will some more this week, and no plans for a nab screen at this time but maybe next year I'll add it in, I'm also gonna run one of the heater ducts to the rear so it gets a little warmer back there

[Colorado75bronc]

Here's some update pics of the console, sorry it's taking so long I've had some side work to do lately and my allergies have been kicking my arsh!

[Colorado75bronc]

And some more...

[Colorado75bronc]

And this is my helper and all his usefulness :)

[hockeydad4-22]

Hey now - don't be runnin down the help. Somebody has to be holding down the couch while you are playing with your bronco in the garage...

sheesh


Love the console by the way, seriously that thing is awesome. Actually subscribed to the thread just to make sure I do not miss how any of it goes together.

[Jesus_man]

It's coming together nicely Corey! Can't wait to see it complete!

[Colorado75bronc]

Thanks for the compliments guys, i'm pretty stoked about it, just need to find the time to work on it more, and ya Kota is good for holding down the fort, aka couch or when he can get away with it my bed lol

Made some progress today on the axle swap, the front is now a "3/4ton" Dana 44,or just 8 lug (; . Tomorrow is gonna suck, cutting the rear spring hangers off and pushing the axle back 3-4 inches, then cut and reweld spring perches to swap in the Dana 60 rear, also found out the newsed d44 flat top knuckles use a smaller tie rod end then the 79' bronco tierod I have now, so I may just step right up to cheby 1ton tierods and DOM, it's only money right? Lol

[akaFrankCastle]

Hmm. Do I see some recentered Humvee wheels with 37" tires on your future? Lol

[Colorado75bronc]

Nope these

[Rox Crusher]

that is gonna look great when you are finished

[akaFrankCastle]

Nope these

Helos huh? Look just like the ones I had on the Super Duty when I bought it.

What size tires are you running?

[Entourage]

Those are going to look great.

35x12.50x17,thanks for the comments, I'll post more pics this week, the rear 9" axle is out, I had other stuff to do today so I couldn't finish the rear, so I'll be doing that over the next couple nights, still gotta order the one ton steering kit from ruff stuff too

[Jesus_man]

Nice job Corey! You must be dedicated working outside in this heat!!

J.D.

[Colorado75bronc]

Ya it's kicking my arsh the smoke from the fire isn't helping either, thanks guys

[crawlercreations]

Looking great!! I am looking forward to the finished pictures!!

[ImIn4Lo]

That really does look sweeet! love the garage... At least you have a cool view of UCCS from there.

[Colorado75bronc]

It's at my dads actually, thanks guys, last night I got all the hangers cut off,pushed back 3 1/2"s and rewelded, and I had planned to get the axle under it tonight but the fire has made that impossible, people are acting like something out of the movie Dante's Peak here, and it's snowing ash at my dads house, it's really bad, also everybody please pray for zack and his family(aka. Frankcastle on here) as his house is in mountain shadows neighborhood where the fire is almost reached. So I won't be getting anything done tonight, here's some pics of what I did last night and how the area looks around my dads right now

[Jesus_man]

3.5" back would be awesome! I am interested to see how you do inner and outer fenders.

[Colorado75bronc]

That all will take me a while, I'll probably start cutting the inner fenders and outlets when I get it back to my house in a week if I get to work on it at all this week that is

[Colorado75bronc]

Here's a teaser pic, the rear is by no means done, it's just sitting on the 60, on Tuesday night they kept moving the evacuation zones closer to my dads and we didn't want to chance not being able to move it if they made us leave so I just cut the old perches off, cleaned the axle, and just set the old junk perches on top of the axle and bolted it to the leaf springs, this week I'll order some new leaf spring perches, get the pinion angle set and axle centered, weld on some shock tabs, still gotta take 1 leaf out of the pack to drop it an inch and rework the front coil buckets to drop the front an inch, also I think I'm gonna wait to do one ton steering as the new knuckles moved the tie rod up atleast an inch eventhough it's still on the bottom, once all that's done I'll get it over to my work and get it on the alignment rack to see what I need to adjust, I know the truck has a diamond in the frame, but I don't feel like getting the frame pulled so I'll just adjust the axle positions till I have no thrust angle or setback, oh and in 2 of the pics I moved the flare back 2.5"s but haven't done any body work or stretched the wheel tubs yet

[Entourage]

Turned out amazing. Love the whole package - color, bumpers, wheels, tires, lift, etc.

[Colorado75bronc]

Thanks man, sad to see you leaving, you probably won't get to see it before you do
