I think the real question is whether you will be putting some wild ars paint and graphics on that ol girl when you do the lift and tires ?
I'm thinking totally 80s retro

Hello Everyone, I am new to the forum and though I would introduce myself. My name is John and I am living in Colorado Springs. I am a proud new owner of a 1974 Bronco. My family has had an early Bronco in it for about 20 years now and I recently purchased my own first Bronco. My Bronco is pretty much stock with the exception of a newly rebuilt 302 (with a Holley 4bbl carb and Hedman headers) out of a Lincoln and a 3 speed shifter on the floor. I have plans to be lifting it up in the near future (it will be a winter project) and putting some tires on it, roll cage, stereo, and some new gas tanks. I am excited to meet some more folks in the community that have the same enthusiasm for early Bronco’s that my family does! Cheers |

Thanks for all the good words everyone! I am pretty excited about it. And Rox Crusher....I think I am gunna pass on the retro look, haha. I am thinking I will go with the half "Oreo" look, black wheels and tires and interior, white body and top....keep it simple and modest, haha. |

Some nice wheels would really set it up nicely. Something like this with chrome accents would be killer:

So I finally got my Bronco lifted a little. Put a 3.5" suspension lift on it. Doing the lift included brake extensions, ebrake extensions, rear springs, dual shocks front and back, front springs, c bushings, drop pitman arm, re-worked driveshafts and an adjustable track bar. Also put in a new front gas tank, dual exhaust (now coming out behind the rear tires (flowmaster Super 40s, sound amazing!)) and tires (33x10.5 km2's). In the garage I still have a 1" body lift and roll cage to install. Next step....power steering! Decided to go with the stock wheels and run some of the stock wheel covers, gives is a nice unique look IMO. I am super happy with how it turned out to this point. As mentioned above, next step is power steering. Then, hopefully power brakes, discs in the font. And at some point, a locker in the back axle.

Thanks everyone for the great reply’s! I am pretty excited about it. Body lift is going in this week. Hopefully roll cage in the next week or two, once its welded up and painted. Now I just really want to get the power steering kit in it, haha. In time.... Badlands, once I get the roll cage welded up and installed, I will post some pictures of the interior as well! |
