I did this exact thing to a 78. It was a long haul. I dropped a 300 inline 6 cylinder engine in it. Best engine I ever used in 40 years in a Bronco.

Nothing better than old fords. I have 7 good video thanks.

You got that right

I had a 79 Bronco with a 351WM and a 2bbl. Loved that truck.

Gotta love the Bronco. I'm partial to the early '70's.

We’re about to start on a 78 bronco that we’d found 20yrs later after my dad had passed.! She’s in rough shape, However it wasn’t something we’d thought we’d ever find so the restoration is not anything we’re familiar with and gonna have to learn as we go.

I had a '79 Bronco. Awesome machine.

My daughter got her own 78 bronco when she was 6. We stored it for the last ten years. Now she has her drivers license so it's time to build her truck. We would love to see the rest of this build

Lugs are an inaccurate way to align the front end, raise each wheel off the ground, rotate the tire while using a grinder and a zippy blade to make a minute groove full circle as close to center as possible, use a jack stand or milk carton to steady the grinder, place a piece of plastic under the tire and spray with wd, repeat on the other side. With the truck back on the ground wiggle the steering wheel to neutral tires, Measure the front and back groove for a true number, 1/8 inch of toe in is a great place to start and far more accurate tan lugs. congrats, you just saved a hundred bucks.

Best looking Bronco body? you've got to be kidding!

Old SUVs kicked ass. 80s they got smaller and now they are built for soccer moms.

Difference between me and then, is I would spend a weekend cleaning the frame with a wire brush and then follow up with some paint

i have an 87 ford bronco that im rebuilding its got a (as far as i know) stock 302, it had aircon but- it also had cruise control but like the ac the owner before my grandpa who is the one who drove it last, took those out, so ac rebuild, cruise control sat out in a rat infested barn for a few years so yeah wiring issues and it sat outside under a oak tree and hail.... so lots of rust damage i need a roof on it now but its fine other than fuel system issues (new tank ect) it also had a 4 barel put on it but..... yeah it was never used as a 4 barel, the linkage was taken off so it was a 4 barel that had been converted to a 2 barel it also had an after market oil pressure gauge put in oh and did i mention the fact that in the 15 years my grandpa has had that 10 ro so of which where it being used as a daily driver. it never had any fluid changes and theres over 750k miles acording to the odm yeah ima probably need to ship that trans off for a rebuild if i change that oil ... also tar oil and presumably (judging by the lack of proper care to certan parts of the truck) the dif fluid in both difs and probably the transfercase... yeah ill do a full oil change on everything after i do all the other crap i need to do

That the sort of truck I've dreamt of. Huge wide tyres, big block. Hmmmmm

After reading through the comments I remember why I quit watching This TV series ('TRUCKS'). This could be considered a budget build - as compared to paying someone else to do it, or buying someone else's and then having to redo half of what they did. Builds like this can be done - by one person - in the driveway/garage at home, but it's a Monstrous Project that takes months to finish, it's not "toss it all together in no time" like EVERY EPISODE of 'TRUCKS' wanted people to believe. (I did a few, myself, it's a WHOLE LOT of hard work) I love how he rattles the cam into the block like he's stirring a can of house paint - nothing like having to tear the engine back out and down and put ANOTHER set of cam bearings in because the ones that are all nicked up killed the oil pressure at idle. (roll the engine upside down so you can SEE what you're doing) There were a few good tips throughout the series, but not every episode. Yup, this series was "this is so easy" while they hacked and slashed away for the cameras - something to fill the spaces between the commercials I guess.

2:45 I was a year old when that was built, glad to know I'm only 31 now.

hi guys wanted to ask you i bought a 93 dodge Dakota with no motor i bought a 93 318 to put in it is the 318 a good motor the only thing i no bout them motors they never came with a lot of horsepower it's fule injection witch is better for power fuel injection or carburetor

Where are you guys taking this to, the Moon? Before I spent all that cash on off-road gear, I'd have spent a few dollars on cleaning and treating the rust.

So many experts commenting how they would do it better. if the chassis is like that after 30 years and sitting in a field for however long how much worse you think it’s gonna get he says they’re building something they won’t care about bouncing off trees but by all means spend your time cleaning and painting coz you’ll definitely notice the difference from the drivers seat while you go mud bashing

I can't believe you had the body off and left all that rust on the chassis as well as did not replace those rear springs. Many other parts that needed upgrading and replacing to make it worthwhile to add all those other parts. This is a cool video to watch but flawed in so many ways.
