Pics first
Stack of receipts
400m motor with np435 trans and np205 tranfer case, factory ac. It's the federal model so it does not need cats and in the stack of receipts and paper are smog test paper that show it has passed for over 15 years. Plans right now are just to enjoy it and drive all over the place. Future plans are to instal a ttb, full roll cage and a 351w c6 combo, but that is not even the near future hahaha

Also has 4:56 gears and rear detroit locker, so the rpm is a bit up there on the freeway. Will install 35s when these 33s wear down.

Yea probably going to pick up the outlaw 2 style wheels that birdco has for sale. Even though they are not the alcoas they will change the look.

yup. not quite as cool looking as the alcoas (to me at least), but close enough. Will change up the look for the better though I'd say.

Nice bronco, that 400 is a great motor I have a 78 bronco with one and a short bed f-150 with one, there not big on horse power but good on torque, and if you treat them right it will run forever.

Have to get used to the locker engage and disengaging when pushing in the clutch. Makes it for an interesting ride on the curves hahaha

This happened
Then Robert (RMC) helped me out and I finally was able to instal the axle this week.
Before 33 bfg's with chrome steelies
After 35 general red labels with stock Alcoa's
Still have a bunch to do regarding the steering and other misc stuff, but the my 78 is finally back on its own weight after way too long. Super happy
