This Bronco has undergone an incredible transformation. Thousands have been spent with Ford Racing (The real Ford performance counter) parts. We have a Cobra Jet 460, a 5 speed transmission, a ¾ drive train swap, air conditioning, original paint body with no rot. This Bronco has 1200 miles on it since the upgrades/restoration was completed. I drive this Bronco at 70mph down the highway pulling 2100 RPM in 5th, 1 finger power steering. Incredible driving/handling vintage 4x4. The motor is a monster, we built the rest of the truck to harness the power of this beast. We have the best of both worlds, incredible torque and horse power with matching drive train, with a 5 speed that lets you run the highway all day.

We changed a few things to make it perfect for a 4x4. We stepped down the camshaft for incredible low end torque. Ford aluminum Super Cobra Jet heads with Scorpion roller rockers, the best of the best internals with a premium pump gas friendly compression ratio of 9:8:1. Edelbrock intake, Holley 4 barrel carburetor, electronic ignition with re-curved distributor. L&L ceramic coated headers with o2 bungs. We set the motor up on the computer, it is dialed in perfectly. Aluminum Ford valve covers and aluminum Cobra air cleaner. The complete motor costs $11,750. We didn’t just drop in a monster motor with stock 79 Bronco drive train (it would not last). New radiator for 1 ton Ford pickup. We have a 5 speed transmission (rebuilt) from a mid 90’s Powerstroke diesel with a racing clutch to hold the power, a rebuilt NP 205 gear driven transfer case, the rear axle is from the same Powerstroke with a factory trac-lock (Posi). The front axle is the stock Dana 44 housing with upgraded axle shafts and Powerstroke disc front brakes. We now have a true 8 lug ¾ ton drive train. Warn hubs, axles are 4.10 geared, completely rebuilt. 33 gallon fuel tank. Custom drive lines and U-Joints built for the power, front axle has a skid plate, both axles have sway bars. Skyjacker 4 in suspension lift to clear the 35 in BFG’s on vintage aluminum turbine wheels. This type of conversion is costly and takes skill to get it done right. Dual 3 in exhaust with equalizer pipe. The power steering has been upgraded, 1 finger turn. Factory Ford air conditioning, works great, been converted to modern R134A. I could go on and on listing all the parts, the entire undercarriage has been rebuilt with 1200 miles on all of it. BODY The body is 100% original to the truck, original paint, 100% rot free. Very hard to find a nice 78-79 rust free original paint Bronco. The paint is original 36 years old, so there are chips and imperfections. We cut/buffed and applied a heavy wax to seal it up to prevent rust from starting. Painting anything is easy, but pretty damn cool to keep this original paint, I love the look. So all the black paint is original with some very minor touch up pen spots, the white top has been removed and re-painted. The interior is in excellent condition, some of it is original, some have been replaced with LMC aftermarket parts. Nice new sunroof, Ford Racing steering wheel. All the glass and seals are good. New front bezel and grille from LMC. The undercarriage is coated with POR-15 to prevent rust from starting. This Bronco drives great for what it is, tight and smooth. We spent the money on the drive train, but the cosmetics look good as well. I’ve owned several 66-77 Broncos, I love them, but they are getting stupid dollar wise, now the 78-79 are coming up. Frankly, the 78-79 full size handle and drive much better than the older smaller units. I have not seen a 78-79 Bronco built like this, I hope someone will appreciate the dollars and hard work put into this truck, I’m very proud of it.
