Re: 1975 Sweet Pea go-fast'ish build
And now the repair, and what a fun one it was...;) There is a fun river bed run out in western Kansas called the Pecker Head Run. The knickname my dad called my brother and I (yes, still) is Pecker Head. I have to run it. So I did and found out why everyone plates the frame where the shock mount att...

Re: 1975 Sweet Pea go-fast'ish build
Once it was cool enough to run around traffic it was time to get the family and the kids comfy. Added rear section to the cage to mount the rear bench and harnesses. While Charlie was at it, why not some sliders with steps? http://i1032.photobucket.com/albums/a409/pricetrey/1975%20Bronco/678D49D3-4F...

Re: 1975 Sweet Pea go-fast'ish build
Holy moly, another two years! Lots of updates and a repair! Motor kept getting warm in traffic, so I had Devlin Rod & Custom squeezed a Ron Davis rad with Spal fan...it gets TIGHT. Low pro water pump, machined pulleys, and while we were at it ran the engine bay side of a Vintage Air setup for down t...

Re: 1975 Sweet Pea go-fast'ish build

It now has a 5.0 Roller stroked to 331 and mildly massaged GT40 heads. It has tons more power...thank Gawd for 4 wheel disc power brakes! Fought some overheatin...

Re: TRC's 79' build
Awesome story and lovin the solid axle Steed!!! Thank you for your service! Jim is a great guy! He chatted and shared a ton of EB info when I was collecting parts for my build a couple of years back. I ended up buying a set of old style rear shock mounts from him for the build. I have a build in the...

Re: cdn bronco solid axle prerunner
Hate not having an edit button...too quick with a submit hit. Not sure if you want to consider but the "4x4x2" steering box swap on the early broncos is a pretty popular swap taking a F100 4x4 box and swapping the 2wd gears out so you can mount it on the outside of the frame rail. It might be worth ...

Re: 1975 Sweet Pea go-fast'ish build
Well, some news on the "progress" as of late. Took the old girl over to have the carb tuned (Holley TA was running rich) and a little mechanical dial-in attention. The owner of the shop thought the motor was making a little racket so he pulled the pan. Yuck, trashed main bearings and journals, trash...

Re: 1975 Sweet Pea go-fast'ish build
That is exactly right! Fun watching the smiles! We have really short vid of them putting around into the driveway around the block. Those smiles lock it in for at least another year or two!;)
