here are a couple pics of my 74! she's mechanically solid, runs like a raped ape, and people in parking lots dont park very close
Ive had it for over a decade...it has limited slips front and rear (factory), a vic hickey sidewinder (in the garage), shift kit in the C4, lots of character, and 28 spline rear axles that are ultimately doomed (heavy right foot) out of all my cars, this one has scared the most passengers!
so there it is...any questions?

1) What headers are you running on that thing? They look pretty new.
2) What heads? Looks like you had them rebuilt recently or bought some new ones?
3) Bronco brand tires? Wherever did you find those?
Great looking truck. Love the fact that you are still running that thing uncut.

Well I'll be. I should have noticed the valve covers!

yup, she's a cleveland. has less than 1000 miles on it since I got it running right! it had regular ol' open chamber 2V heads, but after repairing 3 cracks between ports and water jackets, they hit the scrap iron pile. the heads I have now are an australian casting i scored on craigslist. over 11.5-1 compression and it runs fine on 91. the headers are Sanderson ceramic shortys, and yup, they're new too! The "Bronco" tires are made by Cooper. Ive had them for years....I think I got 'em at discount tire? not 100% sure anymore. to fit those 32x11.5s, I had to roll the edge of the fenders up. when they're stuffed, I can't even fit my pinky between the fender and tire. I looove that it looks like it'll rub if I hit even the smallest bump

me too! bottom one's the same way. instead of using crappy universal hoses, or off of some hard to find oddball car...I made the adapters. it uses the ends of the stock upper hose, and the ends of a stock 78-79 bronco's lower hose.
How do normal people make it through life without redneck ingenuity?
I like redneck ingenuity. You can find some pretty cool stuff that's been done using it.
