new guy from south jersey

[79_bronco]

hey, whats up? my names chris and i'm from south jersey. recently bought a 79 bronco i was going to part out, but i couldn't bring myself to do it. so i'm going to rebuild it, throw a set of D60's under it and wheel it. it's a 79 bronco custom. 400m(i think), C6, 205 case.. only has 84,*** original miles on it and runs like it just rolled off the showroom floor. the body was pretty rough so the previous owner cut all the rot out and started patching the floor up. once i move into my new shop, i'll start tearing into it and get it ready to wheel next spring. here are a few pics of it from the day i got it..









my plans are 6" susp lift(already has a 3" body lift), new tailgate, new 1/4's, new rod and main bearings, new timing chain, cam and lifter kit, headers, 4 brl intake and carb, and a set of 38.5 boggers or 39.5 TSL's

i'm definitely not new to owning a bronco though.. i had an 85 for a few years that was basically my daily beater/weekend wheeler.. lol

Welcome to the zone! You made a great choice on deciding to keep her.

Nice looking rig man. I am putting my 351 back together now after a tear down to do chain, lifters, cam, intake and carb. Welcome to the Zone!

thanks guys.. i had originally bought it to put the rears under another truck, strip and sell the rest, but once i heard it fire up, i knew i had to keep it. since the rears are long gone, i'm going to start lurking around the junkyard for a matching set of D60's this weekend. i would go back to a D44/9" but they're scarce in the yards around me.

i'll make up a project thread once i get it going.

does anyone know where i can get 'factory tinted' cap glass? my cap has it already but the driver side glass has a pretty big crack in it
