Alright people I need some opinions. Let me start off by saying this will be a long-term project and I will be working on it in stages.
I've got a chance to purchase a early 80's bronco for $500. The engine is blown and the body is crap(rusted out). The frame, transmission, and current suspension is in decent shape.
Here's what I want to do:
1. Scrap the body and build a Tube cage/body welded to the frame.
2. Swap out the TTB front end with a D44 or D60
3. Keep the 9" Ford rear end, Lock front and rear.
4. Ditch the leafs and go for Coil-Overs front and rear
5. Atlas 4:1 transfercase
6. Drop in a brand new crate motor( Not sure what? )
I've got more, just got to go to work now. So what do you guys think? Like I said this wuold be a long-term project that I would work on as funds come in. Ideas or Suggestions?
THANKS!!!
