Can you tell me more about the electric assisted brakes you are going with?



The brake booster is frame mounted and manufactured by ABS brakes. This leaves only the master cylinder mounted on the firewall; freeing up a lot of real estate. I don't have a picture of mine because it is not that far along but I have attached a picture of another build Bronco Connection installed the electric assisted brakes on. The picture only shows the master cylinder. I believe the booster puts out 1,900 psi.

Very nice, I was also interested in what kind of lift it has.



The front long arm suspension and brackets are manufactured in house by Bronco Connection. It has a 2.5" lift. They offer many suspension packages with several lift heights. Mine has progressive coil springs and Bilstein shocks. I don't know who makes the leaf or coil springs.

The fuel tank is stainless steel and I had it custom fabricated by Rick's Tanks out of El Paso, Texas. I purchased a standard steel version from a Bronco parts house and shipped it to them to reproduce in stainless. They now manufacture their own version for Broncos with more adjustability than the one I had them produce for me.

ECS Automotive Concepts reproduced the factory door jam VIN decal. I blurred the VIN and removed it from the top right of this picture so I could post it.

Modified a roll pan off of a 1966 F-100 to fill the gap between the tailgate and bumper. The body is lifted 1" so the gap was rather large before the edition of the roll pan. The build is nearly complete

That is one of the shiniest engines I have ever seen. Can't wait to see the rest of the build. It's going to be a fun truck for you.

My 1971 restoration was finished on 3/30/17. I can't wait to get her home and start driving her. Dig the power folding running boards!

Looks fantastic! I'm sure you're excited to get behind the wheel after all this time.

Are those LED lights frenched in to the roll bar? That's very slick.

I can't wait for you to get it home either because we need more pictures/info. The LEDs in the roll bar look awesome.
