poolman's 84 Bronco

Post by poolman »

Finally got my body back to my house. Been cutting bedside off and starting to remove dash. I'm going to strip it out and then paint shell. Hope to get it back on frame in a month or so. I should get it in running condition in a few more months.

Update
Finally getting some work done on project again.I ended up buying 91 f150 4x4 for 800 bucks sold wheels tire,fake hood and assorted crap and got my money out of it.I took out motor 75K....seems right for the mileage and wear and tear. I stripped all the fuel system,wiring out and saved whatever I could, then gave away what was left. I told the guy he could have the truck but he had to take everything that was in it! So I'm installing fuel lines,wire harness everything is starting to take shape. I cleaned out gas tank from other beater Bronco that I had previously. Starting to look like it may all fit back together! I hope to get the body back on before fall, then work on building cage when it cools off here (111 degrees today) Neighbors think I'm nuts....I was washing the chassis before I put it back in garage to work on it. Keeps me off the streets at least!

Screw those yellow wheels, they were such a pain in the ass to strip! Some of them are now polished, the rest are just plain..........

The driver side rear leaf clamp on compression will whack the gas fill tube... put a new hole in the clamp so you can cut it down as far as possible and round the edges.

I thought I would throw up some pictures of the Bronco. Coming together a little at a time. Money been short so a lot of cleaning rebuilding,painting polishing etc. Hope to get the body shell painted and back on the chassis in the next month or so. sorry but just getting Photobucket going so excuse the order of the pictures. I'm trying to get everything separated and in order.
