Took it out for my first solo trip today, Drove it to church.

Here's some *decent* pictures, since all the other ones ya'll have seen of it are from my cell phone... these are actually from the camera.

Looking good.
I find it amazing how clean and rust free older trucks are down south a 78 up here is a tub of rust.
I agree lose the bug shield.

How much you willing to pay? Make an offer... I'd have to find wheels to put back on it though.

That bug deflector has been on there since it was almost new... probably put on there around '79

and I kinda like it, to be honest.

Yep, only rust I'v found is bottom of the door, bottom of the tailgate, and a little bit of surface rust on body.

Dad said he always kept the inner fender wheels sprayed out when he got the chance, so that probably saved the fenders.

I believe I need a brush guard, what ya'll think?

I love how Broncos always look like the rear window is open.

 

[Blue Goose]

Yup Tyler, it's official, I'm jealous!!!!

 

[FordF-SuperDuty]

You stool that thing! Now I want 33s too.

 

[DNFXDLI]

Great pics Tyler!

Looks good. I may have to look for one of those... are they pretty sturdy? I don't want something I have to worry about bending.

Yep. In the first pic it actually is open...well it didn't have one in it yet.

Will 33's fit on yours? without rubbing?

Great pics Tyler!

Thanks.

As long as you don't drive into anything, you shouldn't have to worry about it bending.



Seriously, though- congrats. I still remember the first time I drove my '97 by myself...hell, driving that wore-out ol' truck still managed to put a big grin on my face today.

I don't make a habit of driving into anything, but ya never know. and I don't want to have to worry about it.

and I was grinning ear to ear the first time I drove the Lumina, Monte Carlo, and the Bronco by myself... Bronco is probably the most fun to drive though.

They'll rub on the radius arms a bit like with 31"s.

 

[1985 Ford F-150]

31s dont rub on mine ya just need the right back spacin.
Its farily sturdy weve pushed a truck with the one on the 85 and it was fine. Just dont hit nothin too hard or itll probly bend. It was 189 bucks or somethin around there so it aint too expensive to replace if ya do bend it. Them stock ones ya got on there aint too bad. I had em on the 76 and pushed a truck around with it and they were fine.

Ok, just aslong as it isn't complete crap. I don't plan on pushing anything, but you never know.

I like whats on it now, but I just want something a little different. I need to get a new grill too, since mines busted. Picked up about $60 worth of stuff for it earlier too, I'll try to get pics and show ya'll what that was tommorrow... I can already see this thing turning into a money pit.

Check craigslist, regularly. you'll find a deal.

Ive been pretty happy with it. The name of the company is Wildcat Flash. JBG has em on theyre site but I had to wait three months cause it was on back order. Next time im goin directly to the manufacturer.

Yep, just ain't had the time lately to really search anywhere. Between church, scouts, school, and working on the Bronco. I really ain't had that much free time.

Alright... I'll around for one.

This probably won't be something that gets done in the near future either, but just an idea I have in my head.


EDIT: JBG has them $140 for black ones, and $150 for chrome ones..
