Vehicle Detail

This is a true one of a kind marriage between a 1966 Willys Overland truck and a 1995 Ford Bronco. The Willys body is set on the Bronco Chassis using custom fabricated mounts, the Willys bed has been shortened 5" and the rear fenders were relocated to accommodate the short wheel base of the bronco. The chassis is very tight using the stock 351w 5.8L fuel injected engine and the stock Automatic trans with a manual valve body. The Bronco Chassis was lifted 8" with a Super Lift lift kit with springs and arms up front and new leaf springs in the rear.The truck is Named WILLORD as is the combination. It runs great and fires up every time, its my daily driver.The wheels and tires are 39.5 Mickey Thompson Baja tires with 90% tread and the wheels are 15x12 Weld wheels, on stock axles that retain the 3.55 gears with a limited slip(Posi) in the rear. The Interior includes a nicely finished seat with fold down center for cup holders and arm rests. The floors,Dash and door panels have all been replaced with 1/8 in sheet steel, The steering column is out of the Bronco and uses the stock key to fire it up. It has the stock ford gauges but some of them stopped working but the Tach and oil pressure work and it needs to be mounted. The automatic shifter is a B&M shifter with a custom mount.The only window that has issues is the front windshield has a crack in it, but I was going to swap it out for the earlier split setup.The truck is Originaly from Northern CaliforniaOverall its a great truck runs down the road great . Thanks for checking it out. all four tires balanced with balancing beads or its also known as balancing compound, its the same stuff they use in big rig tires. When they are to big to machine balance they use this media to do the job. great stuff.This truck has Power ABS brakes with front disc and rear drum and also has power steering, turn easy.There is a small bit of rust in the front of the bed floor, didn't bother me as I was going to diamond plate the inside of the bed anyway.Also just added a set of small mirrors on each side of the truck they are black anodized.Even though I have it here for sale I still like tinkering with it, and I like to improve things as they come to mind, nothing major mostly cosmetic. It does have a single in and dual out flowmster muffler that has no pipe after that.These trucks don't come up for sale very often especially in this awesome configuration, a nice blend of classic metal with new advanced suspension,engine and power accessories like disc rakes that have abs or power steering. Overall a great truck, thumbs up every time I drive it even get people taking pictures with it. Just recently aquired, but really didn't consult the wife, she says its the truck or her.....
