The budget build
#1
As many of you have listened to me whine about the rusty condition of my EB, but I'm not willing to start swapping over parts to the new body yet. The body work isnt ready and I would be with out a wheeling rig for some time.
My solution, turn the yard truck into a wheeler ( hey it was either use that or the lawn mower :hystericalSmile.
So now I'm gonna do the budget build. I'm starting with this 78 bronco that I got in trade for some scrap material(no title). Since then I've changed the inside door pannel$50, and the oil pan$50( had a car pan), new fuel pump $20.
Its not all bad, the body is hardly rusty, 351M/c6/205 all work ok, both axles are open. The bad, only rear brakes work(stuck prop vavle), blown sway bar link, crappy 2bbl, and open diffs.
Some scrounging and I have a prop valve for $20, recently I scored an edelbrock intake for $100, and got a 4bbl carb ($20) for it at the meet n greet. I have been sitting on a mini spool for something, this will do. So far my cash investment is around $300. For now I'm stuck on 33's (my spare set, or the ones on my eb), but with the spool rear and the healthy engine it should do fairly well off road. Stay tunned for some build pics....
