Nothing Special Class 3 - Trades!?

Post by ESHALLBETTER »

Hey Guys,

I'm thinking about putting the truck up for trade... when I started the build some 8 years ago I was a single man with big dreams of desert racing. Now I've got a wife, a kid, a mortgage, and grown up bills!

I am mostly looking for something a little more street-able, with 3 seats so I can get out in the dirt with the family. My preference would be another Bronco, but if it's not a bronco it would have to have 4 doors.

I'm not super worried about getting out of this thing, and if I don't get any interest, I'm going to keep slowly plugging away at it.

Here are the specs:

1984 Bronco, 351W, C6, NP205

Full 2" Chromoly Cage
1996 glass by Perry's, about a 3" flare front and rear, fiberglass hood.
Built 358W - 411HP, 410 Ft/Lbs torque on the dyno
-Edelbrock Victor Jr. Heads
-Edelbrock Intake
-Ford SVO cam
-C&J carb, built specifically for this truck
-DUI distributor
-Aluminum valve covers
-Edelbrock water pump
-Remote oil filter
-Moroso high capacity oil pan
-K&N filter
-Autofab "race style" motor mounts
-Custom headers
-Magnaflow mufflers
-Aluminum radiator with mechanical fan and custom shroud
-AGR steering pump with custom reservior
-Aluminum radiator overflow
Ford 3G alternator


2.5" Fox Coilover front
2.5" Fox Bypass front
Cut and Turned beams with gusseting and bracing
Uniball pivots
Clocked Diff
all new bearings/seals/moog blue ball joints
new 4:56 gears, open diff
Wran Gold hubs
5/8 studs
New brakes and rotors
AN pluming to aluminum vented puke can
Fabricated radius arms, welded to the beams
1.25" Heims joints in Radius arms

Single swinger steering
7/8 heims for all steering hardware
1.75" ram assist
rebuilt steering box

Deaver leafs
3.0" Bypass Rear
Custom 4" fabricated ford 9"
4:56 gears with spool
35 spline axle shafts
Chrisman TT hubs
5/8" wheel studs
Schreiner drive flanges
AN plumbing to aluminum vented puke can
Custom leaf mounts with multiple mounting positions
custom fabricated hangers and shackles
Laser cut 3/8" rotors

6-35" Goodyear, yellow label kevlar race tires
6 -KMC Enduro beadlocks

32 gallon fuel safe cell
Plumbing is 99% done, all AN plumbing
Have most of the hard fittings for the brake plumbing, but nothing is started
"Nascar style" trans cooler with SPAL fan
Seatrab oil cooler

Wiring is not done but most of the big ticket items are purchased
Full fabricated dash and center console, powder coated white
Autometer Gauges
Black anodized panels with laser etched labeling
Mil spec sealed Honeywell switches
Bluesea disconnect
Bluesea fuse blocks
Motorola radio
PCI race radio Prolite 4 link intercom
Winters Gate Shifter


Suspension seats with Mastercraft harness

I have a handful of other parts not installed like a B&M shift kit for C6 trans, and 4 Hella Rallye 4000 lights, and a bunch of misc wiring supplies. I'm sure there's more I am forgetting.

To finish this thing, it needs the exhaust finished, wiring, drive shafts, finish welding, aluminum paneling, and paint. I'm sure there is a bit more, but this is the big ticket stuff. You can contact me for more details.

I figure I have just north of 25k into the truck, not including all the fabrication. I am willing to take a bit of a hit as this is a project, and I hope to get into something the is done and running. As I mentioned above, my preference would be another Bronco, but would be interested in other 4 door trades. Must be a 3 seater at a minimum. I know being in MN makes this kind of goofy, but I'm not to worried about logistics right now, so if your interested let me know.

PM me here for more details or potential trades. My build thread is below:

Progress looks like a disaster! Garage still isn't set up but we're pressing on regardless!

I'm over the whole trade thing... A good night in the garage brought the fire back! Sure there's a lot I would change or do different now, but it's a sweet truck, and I want to use it!

Yes!!! Hate to see you sell this Erik. Always hoping to see it finished and staged at the start/finish in Ensenada.

Yeah, don't sell. That way we can continue our "who can work on it less" competition! Seems you evened up the tables again a while back. How is being a dad anyway? You enjoying it as much as I am? Although it does put a BIG dent in shop time...

Steve - It's the raddest thing I've ever done. I knew I would love it, and it would be a lot of work, and it's more of both than I anticipated!

Nick - I appreciate the offer, I'll consider it as my wife keeps my old one in her purse now.
