I'm just a chevy guy....
But all in all I've been seeing more and more old bronco's around that have been restored or modded. 302's are ok motors but if you could find one with a 351 that'd be just a little better. I've seen some episodes of TRUCKS on Spike TV and they did a project I think called Crazy horse. I'd take a crazy horse anyday.
The older Bronco's aren't as wide as the late 70's and 80's. They are more between a full size and a bronco II size. They make great trail rigs for just about anything and you don't have to get crazy parts to make it do it. They come with a ford 9" outback which is plenty strong, motor and trans will do the job, plus you can probably add a Atlas t-case to give some real low gearing. Suspension can be coil-over and such so it could rock crawl, mud bog, whatever really.mack said:

That bronco they did on TRUCKS was pretty sweet, they totally redid everything. They also had an episode where they got an old Willys wagon jeep (similar to an FJ55/FJ60) and lifted it up and rebuilt it. Sweet stuff....
Me, I have a 84 2door S10 blazer, and am unsure of whether I should lift it and mod it out, or keep it stock and then after high school get a Subie.
Message Kanter on here, he's had several siiick bronco's I believe.ridecruz888 said:

thats 10mpg. I didn't know landrovers where THAT bad with gas milage. Gas in Louisville is 1.99 for the cheap stuff, my 4X4 V6 Frontier gets around 20 mpg (300-320mi per 16.5 gallon fill up) about 60% highway and 40% downtown traffic.
THose first 2 are 80s model k5 blazers.ridecruz888 said:
It burns at about 3100 for 85mph, and has higher around town cruising RPMs than most vehicles as well. That, and I drive it like its an indy car.Booker said:
