1980 Bronco 4x4 that’s ready to be a desert toy or made into a Class 3 racer. I got to the crossroads of toy and racer with this truck and just don’t have the time for either. The 351m has a fresh rebuild, only a couple passes down the alley to start the break-in. All new parts in the motor, balanced crank, arms and pistons (.030). Rebuilt heads and new kit in the Holley. All the Ford ignition parts are gone and replaced with a redundant MSD system, two of everything and on switches. MSD dual pick up distributor, 2 HVC boxes with rev limiters and two HVC coils all switched and can be selected on the fly. VDO gauges over the Art Carr shifter. Trans cooler on a switch. Full cage in the cab and ready for a bolt on rear bumper. Fuel cell bladder in the back holds fuel but the bottom is rusted. Has about a 4-inch lift on it right now with long arms on the front, this was the next step that I stopped on. All the 4x4 parts are in and working. This truck has the short transfer case that makes the rear drive shaft longer than the newer Broncos I’ve seen. I have a set of Sway-Away 14-inch coil overs for the front that go with the truck. The next step is yours. Also, I have a huge alum. Radiator included that was going to be installed after the motor break-in. Spare set of factory ford wheels. It is sitting on 33’s right now. Needs seats but have 2 Willans 6-point harnesses. I am rounding up all the other little parts and gathering them to go with the truck. Door panels are included; I was going to just skin the doors with alum. $4300 would make her all yours.

Still have this project sitting around! Had to put things on hold for awhile. Drove it around a little the other day on a three day "repair" tag. Little loud for the poor guy next to it with the 3" pipe aimed at them. Somebody bring a trailer and $3500 cash FIRM and haul it away. Oh and one correction, I pulled the SwayAways out the other day and they are 12" coil-overs not 14s.
