89 Full Build Bronco

Post by damon1272 »

Too good to die, she is back and in good hands but will be built quite differently. http://www.gofastbroncos.com/forum/view ... =33&t=3712
Basically a rebuild/build thread. Ended up with the chassis and a few parts. The rest of the truck was parted out. I am having to purchase some of the parts that it was built for and have been working on it slowly but progress will be ramping up as parts come in. Plan is to make it a roller, fit body parts, and get it into paint in the next few months. Then I will start assembly. A good friend is throwing me a paint job so I don't want to pass it up, otherwise it would be the last thing I do. So here is a rundown of the parts that are being thrown at it.

Front End -
SWP single swing steering
Flight Industries fabricated knuckles, 13" brakes, and wilwoods
Shocks - King or Fox - whatever I can get at the best price
4.88 w/ tru trac and bolt in axle diff.
ABS power brakes
bump stops - king 2.0

Rear End -
Ruff Stuff - Strange Nodular 4.88 diff with ARB locker
Rear End - Most likely going with a Ruff Stuff rear end
Rear lower links - need to make new ones
Wheels - Performance Machine
Tire - 35" or 37" BFG AT KO. Waiting to see if a deal comes through on the 35's. If I have to pay out of pocket then going 37's

Body -
Autofab 3" fenders and hood
Autofab widened front end - 6" over
Rears - Fiberwerx (tail lights were cut out) otherwise I would run Autofab.
Baja HID lights
Twisted Stich seats
Road Runner fiberglass dash
Setting up for Vintage Air A/C
2 suitcase coolers

Power Train -
96 mass air 460
E4OD trans w/1356 transfer case
Wiring harness from 97 f-250
45 gal fuel safe fuel cell
CBR radiator

Here are a couple of pics of where it is now. Getting my son involved in the build to spur some interest. I'll post some more info later.

Regarding tires, just got an email from 4wp and they're having a sale on BFG AT 35/17's for 199.00 Figure I'd pass it on here.

Killer build BTW
