This Bronco was originally owned by a friend of my father. My first trip four wheeling in it was when I was about 10 years old. That was about 34 years ago and I fell in love with the truck. He finally sold it to me in 1998. It was a rough old duck hunting vehicle then. I spent about 5 years and every dime I had restoring it according to my wife. It's been done about 3 years. I have receipts over $40,000.00 from all the usual places you go for Bronco's. It was painted on rotisirre and the underside looks just like the top side. The chassis was completely disassembled and everything was powder coated, axles and all.It's got hydroboost brakes with disc up front. I did new power steering, gear box and all that. It has new oversized fuel tank assembly. Most importanly I keep hearing everyone say Foose is doing a Bronco with steel welded in rear fender opening. I am proud to say I beat him by 4 years. We welded in arches from another pair of stock front fenders so they's match front to rear. The cobra jet style hood scoop is all steel too. It was originally done becasue I thought I would need air cleaner clearance but the hood retains it's original structure underneath. There was heat and sound deadening material done under floor rubber and headliner. The Weld Wheels were "one off" when I ordered them but there may be more in existence now. They weren't custom for me but there was only the prototype in existance when they made these. I love the ole bullet holes but wanted to be original. I don't think a lot of the new Ghetto wheels work on an Early either. The motor was completely rebuilt. Nothing special, pretty big hydraulic cam and some bolt ons as you can see. Hit me with your questions as I'm sure I've forgotten plenty. And if Alan Jackson is reading this please buy it and remake the "Drive" video. That's my story too.

GM also sheds parts from its pickups to boost payload ratings
Thu, 31 Jul 2014The row between Ford and Ram over who boasts the best-in-class tow rating for heavy duty pickups has revealed a number of things. Chief among them is a report that Ford removes items like the spare tire, jack, radio and center console from its vehicles in a bid to lower its base curb weight and therefore keep the truck's gross vehicle weight rating down.
For those that need a refresher, GVWR is the vehicle's curb weight plus its maximum payload. A lower GVWR allows Ford to station its F-450 among the so-called Class III pickups, despite the fact that internally, it has the makings of a more brutish Class IV truck.
Ford explains away these deletions, saying a customer could order their vehicle in such a manner. It has also come to light that Ford is not the only automaker to engage in such practices.
Watch these Australian Ford and Holden muscle cars duke it out
Wed, 21 Aug 2013Australia's Motoring has put together a little video on two of the great performance vehicles available down under - the Holden VF Commodore HSV GTS and the Ford Falcon FPV GT R-Spec. And while both FPV and the Falcon might be on their way out, there's still plenty of time for a little head-to-head comparison between the two.
The cars aren't all that well evenly matched, though. The Ford boasts a 5.0-liter, supercharged V8, which the Aussies measure out at 449 horsepower and 420 pound-feet of torque. The HSV, though, with its Corvette-derived, 6.2-liter, supercharged V8 is just too powerful - 576 hp and 545 lb-ft of torque.
Predictably, it doesn't end too well for the Ford. As the guys from Motoring point out, the new VF Commodore is just too new and too good, with its extra power and its adaptive dampers (GM's excellent MagnaRide). Interestingly, Motoring did point out that the Holden's electric steering is better than the Ford's hydraulic steering, which is a lot like a Porsche purist saying they prefer water-cooled engines to air cooled.
Ken Block walks you through his new 'Hoonigan Racing' HQ
Tue, 24 Jun 2014Ken Block seems like one hell of a nice guy. I ran into him at CES this past January, and he dropped the video games he was playing to chat with me for a while. His crew also recently gave our Steve Ewing a tour of the offices you're about to see on this video. Good guy to know.
As it turns out, they're some fairly cool new digs. Dubbed 'Hoonigan Racing Division HQ,' the office is open to Ford Focus ST and Fiesta ST owners who attend the driving program offered out at Miller Motorsports Park. The very same program that Ewing reported on just recently.
Or, if you've no plans to buy an ST or travel to Utah any time soon, you can let Block show you around himself in this MTV Cribs-style video. With interior decorating that relies heavily on shipping containers and luxurious amenities like a ping pong table, 10 refrigerators and a bear(?), there's no lack of eye-candy in the driverly HQ. (Judging by Block's outfit, you'll probably not go thirsty if you're a Monster drinker, either.) Take the tour along with the Gymkhana master, below.
