New Colorado Springs Guy

Post by **giantacairrider** » Sat Oct 15, 2011 11:45 am

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 BroncoΓÇÖs that my family does!

Cheers

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

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.

Looks great man, sorry I wasn't available to help ya, glad to see you got her done

Post by **Jesus_man** » Mon Jul 09, 2012 1:13 pm

What a great looking rig. If/when I get my second bronco, that's the look I am hoping to achieve.

Sharp as hell!

Don't. Change. A. Thing.

Seriously, that thing looks great.

The one itty bitty change I'd make is different color headlight bezels. The grill needs something to contrast the color. Or paint the FORD letters on the front.

What Punisher said. Just needs some dirt on it. If you don't get it dirty, you'll wind up moving to Arizona. That is one sweet ride, welcome to the club!

Man that thing looks killer with that lifted. Really clean look.

Thanks everyone for the great replyΓÇÖs! 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!
