[dieselboy740]

I bought a bronco for 400$ and sold the tires on it for 400$ lol. That and im using the maf setup for my other bronco.
anyways the truck was falling apart and the frame was cracked so on with the pics!!
the truck 94 turbo 190k

remove the engine





while it out im going to add a to4e compressor and intercooler setup.

The bronco

sell the tires


I hope to have the 5.8 out this weekend and the axles out too.
its getting the d60 front and 10.25 rear too.. Should be a nice setup.
I will add to this with time

Drivers side needs 2 bolt holes drilled and a bracket made to catch the 4th one.

Looks good. I've seen your truck out at Ocotillo runnning all over blow sand and since then I've wanted a regular cab longbed with stacks but ended up with an extended cab.

Whatca doing with the 350?

spare parts.. the only thing that im not going to use is the frame. Were using the bed for another friends truck and im taking alot of the interior parts for the bronco. Im going to hang onto the cab for spare parts like the doors sinci i know that i will hit mine on the bronco sooner or later. You need something?

and it all installed...... Oh yeah. And the small cooler is a Volvo transmission cooler that I'm using for a powersteering cooler

I put the diesel wiring harness in too.

That's awesome. Nice looking welds - your Bronco is going to be darn near bulletproof! :waytogo:
