Sinking Creek 4WD Association

We made some space up at the garage for the Bronco. Now we can really get going on this thing.



We are gonna try and stretch it a bit and keep it as low as possible with some 35s or my old 36s if I can get a deal on something bigger for mine.

I like the look of this (33s)



Pretty excited about eventually getting dad on the trail.

Thanks for looking.

Looking good, keep us updated. Did yall rebuild the 302 yet?

hahaha, I wish. Dad hasn't gotten his kit yet.

My main goal right now is to get the stock axles and tranny/xcase out from under it. I know where there are a couple 79 F250 that we are hoping to get the HP44 and 60 out of and start the process of getting them under it.

Dad needs to develop a "budget" so I can start finding suspension parts options for him.

I will post up pics as they are taken.

Starting taking it apart on Saturday.





Next we are gonna remove the tranny, xcase and axles, maybe next weekend.

Got both the fuel tanks and the 9" rear end out!







I think the passenger side axle is broken.

I cut the rear springs and hangers off:



I am thinking about using some of the spring sliders from Liquid Iron Industries http://liquidironindustries.com/Liquid- ... featured=Y in place of the original swing shackle method. Any thoughts, should help keep it low.

I'm a big fan of Liquid Iron's slider boxes, I think it's a pretty trick design. Glad to see you're making progress on this!

I'd never seen those before. That is a beautifully simple and useful design. I'd run them.

My MIL was in town for the weekend to give my wife and I a break from taking care of the baby, she is a great woman.

I spent some time tucking the passenger side rocker and rear corner, it was rotten anyway.



here is some reference of what it was.



I suspect I picked up about 5-6" of body clearance and a straight shot back to the frame for rocker guards.

Looks good.

Worked on the drivers side.





There is so much to do on this Bronco.

Lol, I know exactly what you mean.

Just don't think about it. Just keep plugging away and next thing you know you're done

I rolled a full-width 9" under it moved back to a position I like to determine how much to open up the rear wheel openings.



Looks pretty good, probable about 3-4" back of stock.

I like it man!

Looking good, whats stock wheelbase on EB?
