Peices and parts are as follows , 1977 F250 dana 60 rear , Front TTB with the ( dana parts from the C word conversion for 8 lug ) , Detroit locker in back with detroit true trac up front , 5:13 gears , 351 W with motorsport SVO aluminum heads , cobra 1.7 rockers , fluid damper , total MSD ignition ( ditributor,timing computer,MSD 6 OFFROAD box with rev limiter, holley 725 CFM , NOS cheater kit set at 100 HP , . The tranny is a worked over E4OD with a bauman engineering baumanator controller ( wow what a ball of wires ) . All suspension is superlift with 6 inch rear springs superrunner radius arms and superrunner steering kit , ( think im goona do a coil spring spacer kit in front to level her off cause its starting to sag in front and dont want to lower back ) Fuel is give up by a mallory comp 140 gph , All custom powder coat is done by me ( yes all the blue and yellow is powdercoat with the exception of the rear springs cause they were brand new and i didnt want to take them apart so I painted them. The front bumper is a warn enforcer which im goona move up to matcht the body lines ( just didnt look right ) and the rear is a 10 inch drop bumper front has a custom reese hitch and back has a drawtite for a ten inch drop . Inside theres all kinds of stuff about $5000 worth of stereo and video equipment . LOL this is what happens when youve always wanted something and finally get the time and money to do it . Hope you guys like her .

AWESOME, DUDE!!!

DId you do the powder-coating at home, like the stuff you bake in the oven in the garage? I want to try that...

You might try swapping front 8" lift coils instead of adding a spacer under them. I like the forward rake, though. Again, nice work!!!

Thanks for the reply . The powdercoat I use comes from a place called Eastwood they have all kinds of restoration stuff there I will include the link but will break it cause I cant remember the rules about active links out of a website I know some places dont allow it because of the bandwidth useage . If anyone wants anything powdercoated I am very reasonable . I have many local people bring stuff to me . I have done everything from snowmobile tunels to yard ornaments , The powdercoat is kind expensive for how much you get but it looks really nice and is way more durable than paint . The most expensive part is the oven . For small stuff you could do it cheap but to do bigger stuff ovens are expensive . I built mine around wanting to coat a yamaha banshee frame and the dana 60 full floater axle that is under the bronco . I also did the complete tunel for my 98 thundercat 1000 cc ( did that flourecent green , Looks way cool ) Well heres the link just take out the space after www . Thanks again www. eastwoodcompany.com

Concur with the other replies... Smokin' look, especially the fwd rake. Where did you find the roof visor? Been looking for one for mine (with or without marker lights)... Nice job.
