Well it has only been 10 years since I started to tear down my Bronco for a frame off resto mod. I think I might actually have it done for next summer should everything go well. With the light at the end of the tunnel I thought I would start a build thread now as opposed to letting this drag on for the last 10 years. As with most people and their hobbies, time and money were responsible for the big delays.
I bought the Bronco back in 1999 and drove it summers until 2006 when I tore it apart. I didn't know much about them when I bought it other than I liked it and it was in decent shape. Over the years I have learned about Broncos and more about mine. Its a 77 and probably one of the first 77's off the line with serial number 00026. It does not have fuel doors and never did which I know is somewhat of a controversial statement but it is what it is. When I bought it, it came with a 302 (1968 from an Econoline van from what the PO told me and the numbers on the block support this), a 3 speed manual, power disc brakes and power steering. It was all stock suspension, D44, 9" with 3.54:1 gears and a trac-lok. It also had some funky paint work on it where the PO was going for... well I have no idea what he was going for but there was red, white and blue painted parts all over it. This thread will probably take me a few days to bring up to speed.
