Re: Carlos83 1983 Bronco
Welcome to the site Carlos, nice bronco, the more time I spend on here the more I want to build something similar to yours. Stay with the 83 front it's going to get harder to come by a clean one soon.

Re: Carlos83 1983 Bronco
updates are so sloooooow!
i wanted it ready by the B500 so. it wasn't , so I had to hitch a ride last weekend..oh well
back to the thread:
i am done with the wiring and started installing the gauges into the fiberglass dashboard...
i removed all the stock wiring in my dash (not really much of it.. this is a 83 bronco custom...no EFI....and the wimpy DuraFart III Controller went away in '99)
from this:
to this
(driver's side view:)
closeup:
now, the dash looks not su bad with the gauges:
another shot:
I am ready to order my limit straps and extended brake lines.
sooo i lifted it to check the droop.....
here's the rear droop:
here's the front:
finally i am having a hard time figuring the best way to mount the spare tire.
Flat on the floor looks the best. but i will loose all my cargo floor
vertical facing the rear frees up some space, but i will loose rear view (i dont have a rear view mirror since 2001)
what do you guys think?
oh well... i will figure it out
i will post updates as soon as they happen
