“BigBird”1981 Ford Bronco

The story

Vehicle was in salvage yard to be scrapped,I purchased a little over a year ago.I purchased two other parts Bronco's to start the build.I bought a monobeam dana 44 out of another scrap yard and completely went throught it,then I did the SAS on the front. Added 9 inch lift to the truck from one of the parts trucks. I also replaced the rear springs with F250 springs and a lifting block.I replaced the stock tires with 35X12.5X15 Mud Tracs. I replaced the bench seat with the bucket seats and rear seat from the other donor truck. I had them recovered with fabric used for boat seats,makes for easy cleanup and doesn't hurt to get wet.I rhino lined the exterior of the truck and then sprayed it with Osha Yellow Paint (just to get noticed).I replaced the bumpers with tubing for rock drops, I installed a Warn M8000 on the front for those solo rides. I mounted a set of KC running lights on the hood and one set of aircraft landing light on the front bumper.Future plans will be a motor re-build along with some lower gears. — 81yellobronco
