89 bronco build up.......

[Branman]

First off hello my name is brandon I'm from south Mississippi and i have a problem.:not_i: Anyway I really started on my 89 bronco when i was 12 or so. I'm now 15 the deal was i pay for half and my dad would pay half and i had to do half or all the work,and since then i have rebuild the engine, rebuilt and upgraded to a c5 trans and a BW 1350. I also swap front to a locked d35 and the rear to a locked 8.8. I added a 4 inch sus. kit and a 2 inch body lift. Then rust was becoming a problem and it was beginning to crack at the seams, so I swaped the body to a ranger cab and shortened the bed.:icon_bounceblue:

Long time ago....

Added 31's

I hydrolocked the engine on that ride and thats when it all began.:icon_idea:

 

[Branman]

Locked up 8.8

We then went to tellico and had a great time.

Before that ride we also put the 4 inch lift on....

Body swap

 

[Branman]

This was just temporary...

Started on the bed

Cutting

m, wow! You are only 15?

 

[Branman]

Skins

The rear lower body lines dont line up so a little body work will be in order.

I got anxious to see what it would look like so i had to put it on :icon_thumby:

We are moving the axle back 3 inches. We had to take 11 1/2 inches out of the front and 9 inches out of the rear of the bed. I am hopeing to be done completely by cruisin the coast. Thanks for looking Brandon B.

[Hahnsb2]

Good to see you over here on TRS too Brandon, rigs looking sweet :icon_thumby:

 

[Mark_88]

Very nice work...can't remember what I was doing at 15 but you are way ahead of me already...but I guess if you're dad encourages you to do stuff like that you have a golden opportunity to make your mark in the truck world...

Go for it!

 

[Branman]

Thanks guys, its not done i still have to finish welding & grinding, We also have to make a mount to mount it to. The gas tank will be alright the bed needs to come back a little bit and a new bumper will cover it.
