[UTFLIWGYA]

Well here it is....my first venture at a Full-Size!!!

1979, 400M, Edelbrock Carb and Head......ALL MONSTER.

HE is a diamond in the rough and will appear at future events, however, will be sitting this Veterans Day in the stable. MTF (that's More To Follow for the civilians in the forum upergrin: )

It looks sweet

Looks like the heater box is as big as the engine. Gotta love the bench seat. Is that original?

[UTFLIWGYA]

@Snipes - Thanx!!! @broncosbybart - Yep....that thing is HUGE. Guess they figured that a Full-Size Bronco needed a full size heater. The bench is original and the folding rear seat came with the deal too. Not bad...but has lots of tinkerin' left to do

Looking good!! That is one of my favortite color schemes. I hope to add a =78-=79 to my collection someday. That "Heater box" has an evaporator and the fan in it. The heat only boxes were much smaller and had the blower under the dash.

@Biff-I have yet to tackle the PMCS (Preventive Maintenance Checks and Services) or tearing the thing apart to make sure it works correctly, but I am sure that it'll generate more then enough heat when I get done with it. I saw a nice looking 79 on CL in Dunn, NC at: http://raleigh.craigslist.org/cto/3318354849.html Happy Hunting!!

That looks like a real solid one. Nice find.
