Tweaking Chucks most excellent build
#1
It's a rare experience to find a bronco that doesn't require a ton of work to get it where it needs to be. Chucks build is one of the sweet finds. Having now 7 broncos I'm thrilled not needing to rebuild major components, doing paint and body work(cutting out rust) wiring and other Bronco chores


I"m going to take some pics soon after I find the camera.

So far I've changed the wheels. Spacers are something that worries me. Some folks are ok with them but if I didn't have bad luck I wouldn't have luck at all. I like the stance of the bronco so I got a set of 2.5 in backspaced wheels. Comes out to where things were.

Next project is getting the heating system working right. Every once in a while theres a leak at the heater core. Not sure what the root cause is but I'm going to install a new heater core and move some hoses around.

Next project will be getting a parking brake system installed and functional. I want to get some kind of hand pull system in, looked into the lokar stuff, kinda pricey and reading on classic broncos there seems to be some less than desired results. I have access to a junk yard with hundreds of various 4x4 so I may poke around.

Visit back for some pics in the next couple of days.
