I just joined on Friday and wanted to post some pics of my truck and introduce myself. I am a Colorado native and Purchased my first Bronco back in February. I love to tinker with my car, motorcycles and my truck. I don't know when I will get to my first meet and greet but I will, eventually. I look forward to meeting everyone and seeing your trucks first-hand.

Thanks,

PonyCorral

Welcome, is that a Denver Bronco?

Posted: **Mon Dec 20, 2010 5:11 pm**

Welcome! Looks like an awesome Bronco project you've got going. What are your plans? Where are you located?

Good to have you here.nice project thumbs up

Thank you all! My plans are to repair alot of the truck. For starters I have replaced the tail gate, DS inner fender and rear floor and fuel filler cover, I will also replace the fender, inner rocker and rocker as well as the kick panel and door post. For the PS I will replace the fender, inner fender, inner rocker and rocker. Once I get past that I have a Proto Fab family cage to install as well as front and rear Proto Fab Bumpers. I want my kids to be safe, mainly because I am not sure how far off-road this truck will get. If the body was better I would go right to making it look pretty! I am real close to Entourage in Commerce city, Reunion to be exact.

I have a few usable parts from the truck if anyone is interested. Let me know.
Thanks again,
Bobby Quaratino aka PonyCorral

Sorry, I forgot to mention it is not a Denver Bronco, that would be pretty nice. My truck is a ranger and I am kinda partial to their color schemes.

Thanks!

Sounds like it will be an awesome Bronco when it is done. The ProtoFab stuff is awesome. Cortez and I are close if you ever need a hand. I would love to come by sometime and check out the build and drink

a few

Very cool! I just got done getting all 26 holes drilled for my ProtoFab family cage. Took at bit of finessing but it's in there now. I'm going to have it powder coated before I bolt it down.

Posted: **Tue Dec 21, 2010 12:14 pm**

Can you check out the foot-pad that's directly behind the passenger seat? On mine, ProtoFab drilled the holes that mount to the fender well directly behind the tube. I had to drill 2 new holes in the correct location. The driver's side is correct.

Posted: **Tue Dec 21, 2010 2:14 pm**

I wonder if they have right and left and they used the wrong side? I will check when I get home and get back to you. I hope that mine are on drilled in the correct spot.

Thanks

Airbur,

On my Protofab cage the pre-drilled holes are to the inside of the cage in front of the rear wheel wells. If you want I will post a pic? Let me know.

Posted: **Wed Dec 22, 2010 11:11 am**

Thanks guys. I've confirmed with ProtoFab that they did it incorrectly. Their excuse is that they built 10 cages in 2 days. Still pisses me off....these aren't cheap!

Well if it bugs you to much, I will be glad to come out and take it off your hands so you can get a new one. I will even take it off your hands for no charge just so a fellow bronco brother can be at peace, it is that time of year after all...

Posted: **Wed Dec 22, 2010 12:51 pm**

Oh man...you are the best! When can you come over and get it? I can't wait to get it out of my sight! ;)

Posted: **Wed Dec 22, 2010 1:02 pm**

Anything for a brother. Let me run by the house and pick up the boys, I can be there in about an hour.

Posted: **Wed Jan 05, 2011 9:28 pm**

Some progress is better than none! Thanks to all of you for the technical support.

Posted: **Wed Jan 05, 2011 10:35 pm**

Nice job on the floorpan! Lookin good. Wish I could find the time to get to the garage to work on mine banghead

Posted: **Thu Jan 06, 2011 11:12 am**

Thanks! I am still working on the DS door post, but I have a good idea of what needs to be done in order to get it square. As soon as I get it on I can move on to the PS to start the process over.

Posted: **Fri Jan 07, 2011 9:41 am**

Hey Bobby, don't know how I missed this thread. I will be sure to follow your progress now. Keep up the good work and pics.

Posted: **Fri Jan 07, 2011 10:28 am**

Thanks, will do!

Posted: **Wed Jan 19, 2011 10:56 pm**

It worked! I finally got the door post welded on and the door even closes laughing2

. dsmith01, thanks for the info! Now on to the rocker banghead

hopefully it goes better than the door post.

Posted: **Thu Jan 20, 2011 12:46 pm**

Nice work man! I hear those door posts can be a bitch to get lined up right. Looking good!

Posted: **Thu Jan 20, 2011 12:53 pm**

Thanks, I might rest a while before tackling the PS...Those measurements from dsmith01 made me a lot more confident in final placement, tack, re-tack, re-tack, re-tack about 30 times and banghead

you begin to wonder.

Posted: **Fri Jan 21, 2011 10:51 am**

Glad you got it lined up. Looks perfect. Are you going to keep the rocker original or cut it?

Posted: **Fri Jan 21, 2011 11:49 am**

Thanks...not sure! I am going to have to trim it a bit...it is 39 1/4" long did you have any issues with yours?

Posted: **Fri Jan 21, 2011 12:41 pm**

Length was fine. I meant cut the bottom to put rock skis on.

Posted: **Fri Jan 21, 2011 2:55 pm**

Yep I know! The rocker is actually too long. I have to trim a little out of the top.

Posted: **Mon Apr 04, 2011 4:25 pm**

Here is my latest progress report!
DS-95% done, a little grinding and a few more welds.
PS-just starting to get rusted panels removed.
