Alright, this is a project that I want to do coming up soon and on the cheap (dont we all). Anyways, I was out wheeling with a truggy a few weekends ago and was really impressed with what a blank slate that creates and just the fact that it was cool. It will be a Bronco, well as much as a Bronco a truggy can be and I plan to build it in 1 weekend for $1000. I know I am smoking crack but I think I can get it done with the amount of spare crap I have as well as the skills and tools that my local EBers have. It will be a community Bronco so those who want to wheel but their rigs are down can throw $50 into the upgrade fund, fill it with gas and go.
Here is where I am looking for a little help. I have it basically mapped out in my mind but it is nice to have some brainstorming with the hundreds of you all on here.
A donor vehicle will be purchased, likely an f250 or FSB (they are both super cheap and can be had for $250-$500). I have a Bronco tub, trail fenders, inserts, hood, etc. I will need a windshield frame and glass or will make one. Have a half cab top, spare frame, etc.
Donor provisions:
Steering box and linkage
radiator - I'll find a spot for it - (may move cab back or put it in the rear)
engine Big Block if needed but would prefer a small - might need to use a spare 302 and a stock bellhousing to mount up to 435 and np205 (these are cheap if married)
tranny (would prefer np435)
t-case - np205
drivelines (shortened in the garage)
Other parts-Things I will likely have to find or buy
gears
tires
will likely weld the spider gears for spools
trailer lights
Anyways, I am just starting to roll this around in my head and like I said this will be on the super cheap and done in a weekend Bronco fest (I am sure some of the locals wouldnt mind helping...hint hint) Throw me your ideas.
