My name is Cody I've been a lurker for while not much activity on the site/sites for all broncos my projects go to slow for anyone to follow anyway. I've had a handful of broncos already I'm only 28 my dad has had one of our broncos longer then he has had me..that's where I get the soft spot for them. The 73 was my first "car" rust through the floor you could see the highway underneath..anyways what I've got now.
1996 bronco Forrest green (owned all white ones till this one ..3)
4bt Cummins 60's 4.10s 35s onboard welder winch this n that.. still needs a lot

1972 bronco red 10k miles no rust/minimal rust..here's the kicker.. bought new in 72 rolled in 73 stored inside ever since kind of a diamond in the ruff.. everything is shiny but everything has a dent. My dad brought it back from Iowa off his high school buddy (original owner) and here we are collecting pieces to save her.

Nice stable & welcome. It doesn't matter how long it takes, everyone loves to see builds. So the 4bt is in the FSB? I'd like to check it out.

Yea the 4bt is in the full size.. has an hx35 from a 12valve which I think is perfect...good highway turbo. I don't want it to spool off the low end with the torque that the 4bt makes I feel I'd break stuff. I'm still pushing 15lbs but damn I get good fuel mileage with a 4cyl ha! I'm thinking I'm going to do a 351w in the 72 BC I have one avail. Having that 4bt I now wish I had 6bt in it and use it for a tow vehicle for the EB and put a 4bt in that..(Just a kid dreamin there unfortunately)

Looks like a fun collection? What front axle do you have under the green one?

Wow, nice collection! By the looks of it, you live out east? I love diesel engine conversions!

Anyway, my Dad worked at Climax for a couple years.

Welcome!

I grew up in calhan 30 miles east of Colorado springs. I now live in springs with my fiancé and 3mos old son.. my parents still live out there that's where the broncos (except my green 96) stay... I still have family that works for climax. My cousin is a geologist for them
