The New project, 84 Bronco II

I'll be picking my new find tongiht, Base model 1894 B2. very little rust, no holes anywhere yet, 55k on it, drivers seat is the only bad thing in the interrior (not that it matters, it's all getting changed). Beige with a tan interior, that has to go. I'll post pics of this later. Many upgrades to come on this one, it's a good solid truck to make a project out of and the price was better than right!
Starting with the interior, total color change, new gauges, stero equipment, new front buckets and I'm sure other little things.
Next will be the body work (what little there is) and a good paint job. then the motor is getting the duraspark swap
last will be the suspension and axels with some new 33's.
I'll get the pics up later and I might start a build thread on it since I'm doing a complete build in and out, all but the motor swap (that comes last).

Sounds cool. Is this gonna be a show rig with offroad style? Or an offroad rig that looks good? If the later ditch axles and put in a 1st gen explorer front 35ttb and 2nd gen expo rear (disk brakes). Or skip all that junk and put an 8.8 or 9" with d44 up front. Good luck sounds fun.

If you decide to go with a solid front feel free to ask me some questions. I have done it on my 93 expo and have also swapped in a set of full width axles in a jeep Comanche so i some experience.

coupld of bII's in this vid. I'm the green explorer towards the end.
