I have only toyed with the idea of moving the steering box forward, in order to lengthen the wheelbase. Otherwise, my trail rig that has quite a bit of articulation has worked fine, with the steering box in the stock location.

We are almost done with a restoration on my stock looking 70 halfcab. In order to retain the stock look, I am ordering one of these.... Radio For a standard looking stereo with recent amenities, I am interested as well, for my fiberglass EB build.

You are correct, that the frame may have warped from the heat. The frame is made from mild steel, so I don't believe there would be any real hardening or tempering effect. From the pictures, I would take a chance and buy it for $500, and rebuild the components such as the c4 and power...

If he sells these in parchment, I am definitely buying one. I would make brackets to mount them to the inner stock locations. Also, a set of rear seat belts would be added.

Very good deal, as that engine retails for $7,300. 430 hp and 390 ft. lbs. of torque would be a lot of fun. GLWS...8-) Edit.... What is required for the engine, and how was the fitment in a Bronco with stock inner fenders?

This sounds really legit......;D

I can pm you my cell. I can run over and look it over, if you like. I have no interest in buying it myself, as my friends (mostly ;D) and I are just finishing up a restoration on my 70 halfcab, and I am investing my discretionary income on my business.

If a person has the time, knowledge, and access to the proper equipment, I would highly recommend this option. You can also add your own custom details. BTW, Mike also sells an external halfcab roll bar as well.

Mike at Extreme Customs has been building cages since he founded Complete Offroad years ago. Here is an internal cage he sells. The only thing I am thinking I would change on it is to go from 2" diameter to 1 3/4" diameter tube to tuck it in tighter. Halcab Cage Kit

I'll post up a few pics of the 70 when it gets back from the body shop, anyway...... ;D

Very nice examples, Karl. My 70 halfcab is Reef Aqua, so it is a little too dark, and green for her liking. It will be in the paint booth this next week getting the new paint buffed out.

A member's wife wanted to see a few pics of a lighter turquoise Early Bronco for their halfcab project: A project that was posted on FB.

Ben, the local yard has plenty. I was out there today looking for an am radio faceplate.

Pm sent.....

The new one looks really nice, Rich.
