Bronco of the Day: 2WD Chevy Powered '69

 I can only think of one word to describe todays Bronco of the Day: Blasphemy!

Turning a Bronco into a 2WD is bad enough, then they add insult to injury and install a Chevy engine? Say it isn't so!

My mission here is to bring you guys weird, wonderful and wacky Broncos.....so take a look at the freak show...

We'll start with the motor, which is a GM LS1, it is backed by the 4 speed auto that came with the motor. There is no transfer case as the front Dana 30 pumpkin was removed and replaced with a hollow tube. A custom front cross member was fabricated to support the motor. Out back sits the stock 9" rearend.

The Bronco sits on a lifted suspension with dual shocks. Power steering was added with heim joint tie rods. The brakes are 4-wheel power drum.

Tube bumpers front and rear along with some nerf bar steps were installed. A Wild Horses fiberglass "GTX" hood was added.

The interior features custom seats, console and a tilt column. A full roll cage was added for safety as well.

Bronco Barn Finds 1966 Roadster/Half Cab

This month's Bronco Barn find is the 1966 1/2 Cab Bronco.

Upon inspection of the VIN it was discovered that this Bronco left the factory as one of the 4,090 roadsters that left the factory in 1966.

The Wimbledon White paint is still hanging on, barely. The only mods appear to be the fender flares in the rear and the aformentioned 1/2 cab top and doors.

Hopefully someone will restore this to its original roadster configuration.
