    1972 Ford Bronco project



    ^^Hence my MAF vs SD thread earlier. Utah truck doesnt have the cancer thru the body mounts we expect from up here in the rust belt. It does have rot thru the pillars but it came with all new metal, have the drivers side about wrapped up, actual closes smoothly with nice body lines! Aint pretty yet but I've missed my Jeeps and Scouts for too long....another project I need!

    I have had two, '66/'76, and they are by far my favorite Ford trucks! Good luck with the project Russ.

    Nope, been so buisy with welding in new door pillars
    and inner fender sheilds I havent worried about it.

    I'll bite the bullit and spend the $34 for one, if I ditch
    the Ford powerplant someone on here will get use of it
    Im sure. Speeking of wich, truck came with a fully machined 302 block and ground crank, never assembled!

    Badass truck, but you gotta stick with a Ford powerplant.

    Do that Dave, should look presentable on one side by then.


    Keeping the Ford powerplant is definately simply, gonna need an
    EFI swap at a minimum for wheeling....hand in hand with turbos

    Ya know Jim I got this 550hp Dodge 4 banger Im not
    using yet, bet you'd like the Bronco more if I put the
    2.5 Dodge Turbo in it wound'nt you

    Working on this thing Im guessing its not much longer
    than my old CJ7, only thing I miss more is my glass
    bodied, 327 CJ5...bad little toy.
