Steve's Narrowed EB

I'm a Colorado native, living now in Grand Junction for the last 15 years. Hope to meet more CO EB owners. If anyone wants a trail guide on 21 Rd, Billings Canyon or the Montrose trails, let me know. smokin

I've had this '69 for almost 15 years now, and recently completed a very major rebuild - the third time I've rebuilt it since I've had it. Specs now:

- The entire tub is narrowed 8"
- 302 with Howell TBI
- C4
- Atlas 4.3
- HP kingpin D60 front axle narrowed ~5"
- 14 bolt rear axle
- Full hydro steering
- Disk brakes all around
- 4 link rear suspension with coilovers
- Modified radius arm front suspension with coilovers
- 39.5" Red Label Krawlers on Spyderlock wheels
- Full cage mounted to frame

Lots more in the build thread here: http://www.colorado4x4.org/vbb/showthread.php?t=133522

Every bit of the work was done by me in my garage, including cage, suspension, etc. The only thing left to do is body/paint, which I'll do soon.

Here are a couple of pics of it in action recently:

That is an extreme Bronco. That may be one of the nicest cages I've seen - wow! Looks like every part is modified. I would love to see your Bronco in person - never seen a narrowed one before.

Welcome to the club and hope to meet up sometime.

WOW! I think I see a RCV axle hiding in all the mod work.

Yup, RCV's in the front HP D60. Full spools in both axles. I didn't want the weak spot in the driveline to be inside the axles; I think I met that objective. smokin
