Yes he does.

But it shouldn't matter - you should be updating to 92-96 anyways

thanks but no thanks.
with all respect sir
i'll try my best to keep this 83 with an 83 clip.

Well said, Carlos, you are a true champion to our cause. On behalf of all of us at APEMFB, I welcome you to this forum and look forward to seeing the progress on your machine.

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.

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
