So, I did the Bronco thing

[DSG2003Mach1]

Installed a Redhead steering box on Friday, what a difference it made compared the 26 year old steering box! When I turn the steering wheel, the Bronco actually turns now

We took it to a car show on Saturday, it drew a lot more attention than we were expecting.

Im pretty sure thats what we put in our super duty as well and been very happy with it

Do you have any photos of your Bronco from the car show?

No. Funny thing is we went there only to see the other cars, so I didn't park with the cars being shown. But there was a constant line of people checking it out, even outside the show car area.

Man, really giving me the itch to start doing work on mine. I think this spring I'm going to start getting it into the shop and get some stuff done. I mean, I do work at a shop so it is stupid of me not to. I just know I'm going to have to drop a pretty penny to do everything I want.

Finished up some more stuff this weekend. Got the last of the tailgate seals put in. I also got an OEM interior trim hardware kit to replace all of the nasty, mismatched screws.

So many self-tappers.

So many self-tappers.

Most of those came from the door sill plates, a-pillar trim and the tailgate cover.

Minor details. I think a battery leaked at one point and caused the old battery tray to look nasty. New one installed.

That old battery tray was nasty. Smart move to replace it, as it would only get worse over time.

My older son asked "Why are you replacing this? No one will see it."

I explained it's the little details, the things that I would know.

Replaced the bad passenger side arm rest with a nicer unit.

Old

New

I miss having a real fullsize Bronco so much I'm considering trading/selling my 25k mile 2006 TBSS for a nice one lol.

Do it! They are fun, and a great conversation piece.

I'd still like to find a decent Bull Nose Bronco.

With a 300 and ZF5.

Prices are high on those too. I saw a ratted out 91 with a 5.0 and they wanted almost $9k, it was in horrible condition.

Bingo

Busy weekend ahead! Parts from LMC, NPD, Gibson and Bronco Graveyard.

Love me some LMC. When I was doing GM square bodies, they were the go-to.

They are a great source for older parts! They seem to have almost everything needed.

Gibson....? Which system? Will be SO much more fun getting 15mpg when it makes GOOD V8 noises!!(Although...that vintage of truck has so many cats on it...you could probably run a straight through glasspack and it wouldn't be very loud)

LOVE watching the progress on this thing!
