Sounds sweet, can you be so kind to bless us with some pictures?

Nice year man, did you do the motor yourself or did you buy the truck with it in it already?

 

[badabing67]

thanks guys, the motor was in it when I got it it just needed a little TLC (oil leaks and such) now I'm in the middle of the 1 ton brake upgrade so we'll see how that goes

here's the link to my supermotors page

I like it! I think my next Bronco should be one of those.... if I can find one that's not rotted to pieces...

Anyways, nice truck and welcome to BroncoZone!

Looks like a very "well kept" truck. I've always liked the 78-79 body style, but like Trailmule said, its hard to find one that's not a rust bucket. The first picture I opened was the front view, I was wondering, "Why does he need all those antenas?" ) That's a pretty good idea for transporting long fishing rods.

Thanks, the tires are mud king radials, the truck had m/t baja claws on it when i got it but they were shot and tracked everywhere on the road.

bidibronco I'm in New Kent just east of the richmond airport

B) B) Very nice looking bronco. I like yourself own a '79. This is our first one and we are loving it!!! Welcome to the zone and hope it is as helpful as it has been for me! Haven't had a chance to take the bronco on the beach, have any problems there??? We go to Florence, OR quite a bit for vacations and my sons are trying to talk me into putting paddle tires on the bronco to ride the dunes.

 

[badabing67]

the only time i have problems on the beach is when i try to take it out of four wheel drive, (there's way too much motor for that). my wife's truck is an 01 f-150 supercrew and we go all over the beach in 2wd but i can't in the bronco. oh well
