The tire rim combo on that one is nice, blends perfectly, looks killer.

Exactly what I told my buddy. Those wheels and tires set it off.

The black Bronco had an EFI 302 in it. It was a speed density setup, but still cool...

This bull nose was in it too. Seems like one of you share the love I have for this front end too. I heard a lady telling her kid it was a GMC and one of the best looking trucks.... I had to straighten out that GMC deal, lol.

The 98's parts list order is just about complete and here. I got my clamps today, had to get them from the manufactured since they don't have distributors for the new OEM standard in clamps, pricey suckers, but man are they hefty! Still awaiting Percy gaskets. Ordering the Cerakote (ceramic) dead last. Mocked up a bushing damper for the Y pipe that should work well. A few more test fits, then ready to fab....had to use chevy dampers (2), since Ford didn't have a replacement. Well, the gaskets just arrived. I have everything except for the tail pipe. A buddy going to drop his TP from his EB. The worst is over, I get to assemble the stuff now. I ordered a Borla muffler, the largest one they make. That came a few days ago. It should be quiet, unless you get on it. We will have to see since there isn't a vid or set up alike that I can find on the utube or anywhere. The Magnaflow sounded good enough and don't sound much different than Borla from what I can tell. Hope my daughter enjoys it.... regardless, it should last. Rear axle complete is next.

Probably be all for the old 98 his year, too many problems came up with the truck to get to the body work this season. A slue of other projects to finish up before winter lol.

I plan on making that trailer for my
Highboy. Matching bed, camper shell, tires and all. There's a gorgeous early 70s bronco that drives around town and man it makes me want a bronco... or at least have my truck finished lol.

Something like this pic (camper shell on truck would only be on for road trips or when necessary) it'll have a spare tire, spare gas tank, toolbox and maybe on board air

I love that 2100! What a cool looking rig.

The 78/79 is a great looking Bronco for sure!

LOL, - good catch with the lady, that could be considered abuse putting something so wrong into a kids head.

Brew, what headers are you using this time? I need to get messing with my exhaust before winter. I've had a muffler for it for a long time now.... just been lazy, lol.

PM'ed yuh white, pics. Didn't want to weigh down the thread, car show stuff = much cooler lol. Might be better just to replace the manifold and muffler. Our factory piping is stainless ( either 409 or similar) on these trucks. Better than the cheap plated shiny crap that sells on the net. 409 will rust and look like hell on the outside but it's just on the outside and are very durable. The factory sections of pipe held up fine, still usable.
For the headers, - It's either coat steel 16G headers with something good (non rattle can lol) or fork out a grand for dyna-tech replacements. I couldn't stomach that for headers on this truck lol. Anyway, sent the info, feel free to hit me up if you need a hand or more info
