it really needs a big block, be it a chevy or a ford. Trust me every time I look at it I want to put my 525ci BBF in it out of the bronco and I would do if I found a buyer for bronco as a roller. But I will say in my Supercrew I recently sold that thing with LS based motor would get like 20 mpg. So...

Have not touched the truck in a week or so. But here are some pics for fun.

Haha, you gotta love John. Curious, why did you want them in white vs. gray?

Honestly it came at request of my body guy.

I think you'll be happy with the Chebby in there. No hate here for that choice. Best part for the job at the most reasonable price. If you can save $10k+ and use it somewhere else while not losing anything other than "keep if Ford" why the heck not!! And what bedsides did you end up with? Looks lik...

Well after too much consideration I have opted to go Cheby. This is a very hard decision but I had a low mile 525hp ls3 fall in my lap that Danzio recently rebuilt 1000 miles ago as well as a new built 4l80 trans. My budget just will not support the $30k motor I want and saving that money will allow...

More Updates as we lace up the tubing. Pretty pumped on how this is coming out. Roof will get cut off within the next few days to weld top of the tube junctions. Almost ready to start engine cage. Then it will sit and collect dust while I save for motor and finishing stuff that kills budgets. trk1.j...

Few Updates. Main part of the cab should be done tomorrow. Friday afternoon my body guy is coming to cut the roof off so we can Tig the top of the roof tubes. Shock mounts are in their home for the rear. 26" of well tuned travel should do the trick.

Shoot me a dm with info I will pass along to him.

Just saw this. Have you gotten ahold of Ron?

Been a while since I posted anything on the bronco side of things. Got it running and driving again now I keep going back and forth on whether to keep or sell and whether to use or have completely rewired. I think I will finally get it in the dirt again next weekend for a day.

We have started burning the cage up. I was just going to mig weld due to time but all my buddies talked me into tig welding the cage for resale value. It is funny when I set out on this truck I had mindset this is it I will never do this again. A lot of people outside the hobby have no idea what we ...

Thank you guys it has been a team effort and I love how the truck is turning out. Also we are only working on this thing 6-10 hours per a week. But had most of it designed in my head for a while. I am coming up on a critical point where I have to figure out whether to keep going and finish or get to...

The more I look at this truck and think about using it the more I am inclined to throw a big BBF in it. Like 525ci or larger. Funny story as everyone knows how I operate I have a couple people that have already tried to buy this truck but not for sale yet if ever. Basically as I tell everyone get yo...

Now I am getting to the point where I better figure out what power plant I am going to go with. Keep bouncing back and forth between ford and chevy. Want ford but budget says go chevy. Contemplating pulling Big block from my bronco and selling it as a roller. But here is an update. Links are in plac...

We opted to radius the brow bar and tuck it. Nobody likes to look between roof and brow bar and see out the window. We will also be rolling the roof bars to have them follow roof.

Spent the afternoon on the truck yesterday. Cage is moving forward. Opted to go 2" 4130 vs 1.75". We could not get it as tight as usual but should be tight enough. So excited to have this truck moving forward. Trailing arms should be finished today. truck01.jpg truck02.jpg truck03.jpg truck04.jpg tr...

Cage is starting to go in. Also figured out where the rearend will live.

What was wheelbase? I think short bed crews were 150" or 155" but I've forgotten all that crap I used to know. What are you doing for bedsides with the shorter wheelbase? Just trimming/shortening something someone already offers? This thing seems to be moving along quickly - I like it. Not much roo...
