Hello everyone, I am a long time Ford fanatic 40+ yeers, I have had many ford trucks, broncos, and mustangs over the years. My current project is a 69 bronco. I've had this truck 19 years, project got put on hold for about 12 years until this past summer when I installed a new fuel injected 5.0 HO and NV 3550 5 speed. Direction of the project has kind of changed since I last left off, but it now has my full attention and plan on being able to drive it full time by spring of 2013

Photoshop! I guess the new pics give that away.

What do your rockers mounted in the stereo slot control?

Are you running a body lift?

Nice rig! Your grandson has the same smile on his face most of us do when we're behind the wheel of an EB!

Over the winter I rebuilt both axles, changed some suspension and sreering componets, new brakes. Now I'm working on the interior, pulling the cage to clean and paint, need to recover the seats. Next some bumpers and a little bit of bodywork
