Maybe I can get the project moving forward again.

My body on the original Bronco was just too rusted out to try and repair. This body will go on the chassis I have already built and then the new Ford Racing 351 will go into it.

I'm wondering how it's possible that a guy with all your toys doesn't have his own flat-bed trailer and has to rent one from U-haul ????

Now unload that thing and get back to work on the Donzi for Powell!

Yeah, not happy with Donzi in background. I am really sick today. Felt it coming on the trip to Park City yesterday. Might mess with it if I feel better later.

Nice early generation Thule. I had the same mounting brackets on my CJ. :D

Steve, kinda like that retro look. Gonna keep it. Plus, you can still get accessories for it.

Body on this one is decent, mainly no rusted floorboards or rocker panels. Has a nice top (better than the one that came with mine) the 33 inch BFG's are in great shape, chassis is good, has massive oil leak somewhere. Need to see if it has a Dana 44 front axle vs. the Dana 30 on mine. If so, and it is not too hammered, might switch to the 44. It is a much superior axle, especailly if I am going to turn the 33's. It is lifted 4 inches, mine only 2. Don't want a big redneck bronco. Overall, I have a lot of work, but now I am no longer at a standstill. Predicting July 4th I will have it running.
