Professionally put together 1993 Ford Bronco that is sporting one ton running gear and a 1996 Powerstroke Diesel engine as a power plant with a brand new clutch. Hooked to the powerstroke is the ZX5 5 speed transmission mated to a married 1356 transfer case. The Bronco has the legendary Dana 60 front and Ford 10.25" rear end. The powerstroke is out of a 1996 F350 that had around 128,000 original miles. The miles showing on the odometer is the exact miles of the engine/tranny/transfer case as that is the diesel cluster from the F350 so all the RPM readings are right. It was very important for this build to be done right and look stock and I have to say that the attention to detail shows. The engine has a cold air intake and the upgraded 3 inch down pipe so it could breathe. The Bronco has the TS 6 position chip that functions perfect. This Bronco runs! You can keep your eye on your turbo boost and exhaust temps with digital pillar gauges.
The one ton is sitting on a suspension lift that is done right. The springs were reworked by Boise Spring Works to stop axle wrap from the torque of the diesel. All details for reliability were thought about and addressed. The tires are like new 37X17 Toyo MT's mounted to aluminum directional mags. Of course it is 8 lug wheel pattern. The front locking hubs work flawlessly. There is a brand new 38 gallon fuel tank that was installed during the diesel swap. The Bronco tracks smooth and straight. There is absolutely no drivability issues with this thing at all! The transmission and transfer case shift as new. The body is very straight with no rust. The hood has the famous clear coat peel that these years are known for but the rest of the paint is clean.
The interior is very nice with one wear tear from getting into the vehicle over the years. The air conditioning blows ice cold and the heater will cook you out. Looking at the dash you will think you are in a mid 90s F-series diesel pickup. There is a brand new windshield installed and all glass is good. The rear window goes up and down as it should. There is a good sounding Am/FM/CD player in the dash. The lucky buyer of this Bronco will get in and go wherever they want with absolute confidence of reliability. Needs nothing but an owner to drive it.
The lucky winner will need to place $500.00 down through Paypal or wire transfer within 24 hrs of close. The rest can be wired or a certified check sent with clearing complete prior to pickup. The vehicle is about 1.5 hours north of Boise Idaho. We can meet you at the airport for delivery if needed. I can deliver the Bronco and fees would have to be determined by location. If you need to use a credit card or Paypal, you are responsible for any charges incurred by me. There are countless hours of time and money invested in this Bronco so that it was done correct, my reserve is well below what is in it and what it is worth. Bid with confidence and you are welcome to come see it before closing as there are no hidden surprises or defects in this one! Good luck.

The USPS needs 180,000 new delivery vehicles, automakers gearing up to bid
Wed, Feb 18 2015Winning the New York City Taxi of Tomorrow tender was a huge prize for Nissan, even though the company is still working through the process of claiming its prize. The United States Postal Service has begun the process to take bids for a new delivery vehicle to replace the all-too-familiar Grumman Long Life Vehicle, and that will be a much larger plum for the automaker who wins it, perhaps worth more than six billion dollars. The Grumman LLV is an aluminum body covering a Chevrolet S-10 pickup chassis and General Motors' Iron Duke four-cylinder engine. The USPS bought them from 1987 to 1994, and the 163,000 of them still in service are a monumental drain on postal resources: they get roughly ten miles to the gallon instead of the quoted 16 mpg, drink up more than $530 million in fuel each year, and their constant repair needs like the balky sliding door and leaky windshields have led the service to increase the annual maintenance budget from $100 million to $500 million. A seat belt is about as modern as it gets for safety technology, and the USPS says that assuming things stay the same, it can't afford to run them beyond 2017. Last year it put out two triage requests for proposals seeking 10,000 new chassis and drivetrains for the Grumman and 10,000 new vehicles. The LLV is also too small for the modern mail system in which package delivery is growing and letter delivery is declining. The service says it doesn't have a fixed idea of the ideal "next-generation delivery vehicles," but it listed a number of requirements in its initial request and is open to any proposal. Carriers have some suggestions, though, saying they want better cupholders, sun visors that they can stuff letters behind, a driver's compartment free of slits that can swallow mail, and a backup camera. The request for information sent to automakers pegs the tender at 180,000 vehicles that would cost between $25,000 and $35,000 apiece, and it will hold a conference on February 18 to answer questions about the contract. GM is the only domestic maker to avow an interest, while Ford and Fiat-Chrysler have remained cagey. Yet with a possible $6.3 billion up for grabs and some new vans for sale that would be advertised on every block in the country, we have a feeling everyone will be listening closely come February 18. We also have a feeling the LeMons series is going to be flooded with Grummans come 2017. News Source: Wall Street Journal, Automotive News - sub.

Creations n' Chrome Top Notch Mustang is a one-of-a-kind fox
Thu, 07 Nov 2013Is there a cooler car from the 1980s and early 90s to mod than a Fox-body Ford Mustang? No, there isn't. If you disagree with us, we suggest you have a look at this 1990 Mustang Coupe, which just might change your mind. Although considering just how extensively modified this car - the Top Notch Mustang from Creations n' Chrome - is, we wonder just how much Ford is left in this old pony.
It rides on a custom race tube chassis that weighs a scant 700 pounds, while carbon-fiber bits and bobs help lower the overall curb weight to a mere 2,400 pounds. When paired with supercharged, 5.0-liter, Aluminator V8 from Ford Racing, the results are, doubtlessly, exciting. 855 horsepower at the rear wheels and 667 pound-feet of torque are available from that force-fed V8 should be just plenty for this car's intended purpose of running in standing-mile competitions.
The Top Notch Mustang is more extreme than just weight savings and a big engine, though. That 5.0-liter is essentially in what's known as a front-mid layout - where the engine is actually behind the front axle. In this case, the 5.0-liter V8 is 17 inches further back than a factory Fox-body, for better weight distribution. As a result, the cabin has been completely overhauled. An SLA front suspension, wheels from HRE, Wilwood brakes and Sparco interior items round out the extensive list of mods.
