1988 Bronco II
Hey all. Had an '84 Ranger I had built a number of years ago that ended up being a donor for the BII. It's front end was a dana 35 with a tl diff and manual lockouts. The motor was a built 4bbl 302 with a T5 tranny and the Ranger's xfer case behind it.

The BII already has the front end transplanted into it. I intend to put an H.O. 5.0 from a wrecked '95 Mustang GT into the little rig, and yank the 4 spd auto and push-button xfer case out, replacing it with the gear from my Ranger.

That HORRIBLE Whorehouse Red interior has been gutted, getting all replaced with gray.

It's been an interesting project so far, and I hope to at least have the V6 back up and running here soon, with the V8 project patiently sitting in the wings.
 






BTW--that front end assembly originally came out of an Explorer. I then added the TL diff and the manual lockouts. Also, the BII looks like its ride height is about spot-on with the Ranger's front springs, as well as a single hockey-puck body lift.
