Re: cdn bronco solid axle prerunner
Thanks Broncodawg. I wish Moss would post a full review of their truck. It seems that they have everything dialed in. Here are some old pictures of the front suspension.

Re: cdn bronco solid axle prerunner
How much HP do you think the 460 is pushing? and how do you like the performance?

I hope it still has near 400 hp. I'm planning a rebuilt soon with Kasse P-51 heads and matching parts. I want a solid 550Hp on pump gas with good prerunner maners. It is daily driven so I don't want to go overboard!

Re: cdn bronco solid axle prerunner
Hi everyone it’s been a while since I posted. Camel Joe got me motivated to work on the truck. I finally got the rear bumps stops done on the truck. I’ve had these for 2 years lying in the garage. Took the poly bump out and fabricated everything and voila!

Re: cdn bronco solid axle prerunner
Also as you can see in the pictures I’ve got the rear quarters cut out since I rolled the truck on its side. Now I have to get my rear fiberglass quarters finished to. I will post picture when their done.

Re: cdn bronco solid axle prerunner
Problems are with the action shots is, I'm always in the truck with the friends. I will get my son's Go-pro settled up in a near future. But got to paint the thing first. Might go with satin black to keep it quick and easy and get the Bronco out of the garage?

Re: cdn bronco solid axle prerunner
Looks great man! Glad to see some progress on this solid axle beast! You getting custom rear fiberglass made? Cause autofab makes rear fiberglass now and they are really nice.

Re: cdn bronco solid axle prerunner
I did call Autofab for their fenders and hood in the pass but freight to my place was terrible. So I decided to make my own stuff. Time consuming but great when you break stuff so you can mold new ones. For the quarters I had done the molds before I flip the truck. I'm almost done prepping them with Autofab fasteners and did my custom fenders flares that enables the tires to cycle without hitting anything. They should match the front fenders.

Re: cdn bronco solid axle prerunner
I would have loved buying off the shelf pieces but paying twice the price in freight in regards to the price of the piece, I can't stand it.
By the way Autofab glass rocks we just live in the wrong place.
I know they make bulge rear quarters but haven't seen any pics. I hope someone will post their 78-79 on the cite!

Re: cdn bronco solid axle prerunner
Last I talked with John (Feb Pismo trip with the guys from this site) it seemed like he was still working on them. I'd love to see pics of them too.

Re: cdn bronco solid axle prerunner
This is the same reason I built mine. I built mine for half the price of off the shelf parts. No paying shipping.cdnbronco wrote:I would have loved buying off the shelf pieces but paying twice the price in freight in regards to the price of the piece, I can't stand it.
Look forward to seeing how your quarters turn out.
