I've owned and built a bunch of Broncos over the years, seems I spend a lot of time in the shop working on something.
The latest project is this '70 Bronco, been working on it for two weeks now. Pulled the body off and cleaned up the frame, swapped a different 9" and a D44 into the front, '90 Mustang 5.0 and NP435, 33" MT/Rs.

Also have the new buggy drivetrain mocked up, thinking about the tubing that will begin to surround it soon. This is an Explorer 5.0, built C-6 w/4R70W gear set, 4 speed Atlas.

The buggy how it looked till a couple weeks ago (climbing out of Devils Hottub):

Still finishing up odds and ends on the '71(ish), mostly tuning the engine. 408W, custom roller cam, AFR heads, Crane RR, AOD, Atlas 4.3, RC D60 front and 35 spline True-Hi-9, etc...

The '83 Bronco, MAF SEFI 351W, ZF, BW1356, SAS, etc...

I retired from the Army in 2006, been working for the same company since.
Hobbies include: Building rigs, wheeling,

ing and hunting, best of all worlds is to combine all of them.

In 2 Weeks you change a motor, add EFI, remove the tub, and add a Dana 44 - you work in Fast Forward! Great looking trucks. Welcome to the Club!

Hey Joe (I love Bob Marley) -
Any chance I bought a Fan Shroud from you off I70 in Aurora? If it is, you are a Body and Paint guy - I remember you telling me you had done a ton of Broncos and a Buggy.
Chad.

Thanks, wheelbase is right around 102". The next one is likely going to be just a bit longer.

Nope, not me. There is a guy who lives out near Bennett who's a paint/body guy and has a couple EBs.

Hey Joe, I knew I'd see you on here someday! Glad to see you have another project going! Funny how we live so close, yet I don't see you!
We might have to do a M&G soon.

Hey Joe, That 70 looks a lot different now than when we were doing my cage. Oh, by the way, did you get your tubing notcher back from Eric?
