Diesel Bronco Build

[Bronco_Rodgers]

Hello all! ive got a 94' eddie bauer ford bronco that ive had for some time now.

upon some thoughts and calculations, i have come to the conclusion that, I WANT ME A DIESEL BRONCO! woot!

as the build goes i will keep everyone postedd. although it will take sometime to find all the parts i need... or to find the perfect donor truck!

i doing the whole sha-bang one it has started! D60 up front with a 50 or higher in the rear, 7.3 Powerstroke turbo diesel, 6spd manual trans(if i can find one), custom driveshafts, computer swap out, dashboard reinstall, 4 or 6inch lift, and i am going to box in the original frame and C channel it.

i dont have any of these parts yet, but i have been eyeing up a 95 4x4 dually diesel F-350. my question is, can i easy just mount a single wheel to the dually axel and use it as such? also, are there any 6spd transmissions for the 7.3 diesel? or will i have to find and custom fit one?

im guessing that my fuel mileage should be in the 20-25 mpg range, but im not entirely sure on that. with the right tuner i could possible achieve that i presume.

if anyone has done this before could you give me some tips or things to watch out for?

any help would be much appreciated thanks!

ahhh thanks! that gives me a good insight on what i need to prepare for! i live pretty much 2 miles away from a junkyard, but the guys here like to price gouge sometimes so it usually takes a good deal of haggling to get something away from an outrageous price.

im going to rhode island this weekend with friends to drop off a truck. so hopefully we can get some metal up there from a friend so that ill have plenty to box the frame all up!

this is what the bronco looks like as of now!
