I'm new to the forum. I joined for the good exchange of info. I have a '73 Bronco that I purchased off Ebay 2 yrs. ago. I drove the slightly modified Bronc for a while, until the Bronco bug bit me. So, the frame-off has begun. My wife shakes her head since I spent 6 yrs. on our 67 Stang. Which by the way we have enjoyed racing and showing.

I am installing a 351w stroked to 408 into the Bronco. Cast stroker crank, Probe forged pistons, RHS heads, Comp Xtreme 4x4 cam, Holley carb (for now) and eventually when I save my pennies AffordableFuelInjection.com for a complete SEFI kit. I am going to use a Extreme radiator I purchased off Ebay along with an electric fan. Also installing a C4 W/ 2500 stall, forged rear axles in 9 inch, Dana 44, 4;10 gears, 35 inch Procomps, Cage Offroad suspension, Wild Horses cowl induction hood, Painless wiring, custom 8 pt. cage, etc. I completed the body work and the Bronco is primed. Next the body comes off so I can install the new suspension. I used Hippo liner on the tub. Hippo liner is tintable to ANY color you want. About $70 per qt. it took 3 qt's for the interior tub. Looks great! The spray gun is about 25 bucks. I used a 5 gal WalMart special air-compressor and it worked fine. I cut out the glovebox and flipped it over so it can be used without hitting the cage. I am fabricating the seat brackets and welding them in today. I will then remove the body and strip the frame so I can paint it with Por-15 chassis black. I have painted everything with Por-15, and I swear by it. The backside of the dash received Por-15, the underside of the dash, etc. Wear gloves when painting with it. The Mustang received por-15 on the entire underside. High gloss and very durable years later.

Well, I've rambled enough. Keep the rubber side down and enjoy the journey.

Welcome to the Zone POR15 fan > . I feel the same about it. I'm getting ready to install some new rocker panels and lower posts; Step 1 paint inside and out with POR15 so we don't get the Ford rust again.

Nice looking Truck :D/

Good luck,

:)>-

Been duck hunting there in Fallon MD? I'm in Sparks, and I haven't been out duck hunting yet. My lab and I bagged 3 chukar last week in Winnemucca. Thanks for the welcome SeaBronc!

PS Anyone have a good set of after market heads for a 351w? I am going to purchase a set of RHS 180 64cc 2.02 cast iron when my commuter car sells! Booya!

OK! I'm removing the body tommorow am! woot! Then the frame, suspension, brakes, etc. will be full steam ahead. More photos to follow. Great site! I come here for the motivation, that, as you know, comes and goes. Some days I want to sell it and others i can't wait to get it done! I want to hit Son-O-Beach and other family runs next year in the Bronco! Cya
