- 1985 Bronco 2
I started the 1985 Bronco build shortly after I found a lifted B2 up in Hayes Kansas for sale I arranged a purchase price and was quite pleased to find the body almost rust free and in running condition, I knew that most of the little truck would be sold for parts and that most of the body and all of the interior were history anyway. The body lift was a most 3" which greatly facilitated the install of the Boss 302 V8 and C-4 transmission.
The install was one of the easiest I have ever done and the least difficult part of the Broncobra build to date.
Posted some photos to my album of current B2 project...4x4 junkie kindly helped but I am somewhat computer challenged which means I'm making this way more difficult than I would have imagined (his instructions were VERY clear) it's me that needs remedial aid or more with my computer, camera and online skills which are virtually Non existent
Bronco2 is an interesting platform to work with and has nice inherent lines, I just sold a 1987 to my next door neighbor and he is in love with it! My daily driver is a 1987 Eddie B. edition (auto) that I bought new, it currently has about 94,000 miles on it, the only major problem was replacing a waterpump on a sub freezing Oklahoma night in a 40 miles per hour wind. I will never sell it!
I have owned Jeeps, early Broncos, full size Broncos and several B2's...I like them all but my favorite is the B2.
I never understood Ford's marketing strategy for the B2, no V8, no removable top or doors just to list a few of my pet peeves...and barely put up a fight during the great liberal rollover debates and witch hunts (wasn't built to be a sports car or for mass yuppy transport at high speeds.) I guess you get my drift I kinda like 'em.
