Vehicle Description
This custom 1979 Ford Bronco has undergone a no-expense-spared
complete frame-off rebuild that took 2 years to complete and
included everything being restored or replaced. Every effort was
made to use OEM and American-made parts wherever possible. The
Bronco is now powered by a Coyote 5.0-liter engine backed by a 6R80
6-speed automatic transmission with an electronically controlled
BorgWarner transfer case. It has a custom aluminum fuel cell and is
cooled by a Wizard aluminum radiator with twin SPAL electric fans.
Fat Fender stainless-steel long-tube headers are installed using
Stage 8 locking fasteners and breath through a full stainless
2.5-inch dual exhaust with Flowmaster mufflers. A new power brake
booster was fitted with a Wilwood master cylinder to push the
Wilwood disc brakes at all four corners with massive 6-piston
calipers up front. The front Dana 44 and rear 9-inch differential
was stripped down, powder-coated and rebuilt using all new gears,
seals, bearings and axles. All suspension parts were powder-coated
and a 4-inch lift was installed. The chassis rides on new American
Racing 17-inch aluminum mags wrapped in BFGoodrich MT tires. The
body was removed and stripped to bare metal. The bodywork and panel
alignment were perfected and topped with a black PPG base/clear,
with Freewheeling reflective sunset graphics added on top of the
clear coat. The frame was stripped and coated using all PPG
products. The removable hardtop has been restored, retextured and
finished in matte black. It also features RestoMod brand heat and
air conditioning as well as a new tilt steering column from Ididit
with billet controls and AMP Research power side steps. The
interior features new carpet and sound-deadener, TMI Bomber Brown
leather front bucket seats and a rear split bench mounted on
sliders (both sides recline). The center console and headliner have
been custom-finished in matching leather. The climate controls are
RestoMod billet to control the under-dash HVAC unit, and the Bronco
has Dakota Digital VHX silver-faced gauges. The electronic 4x4
control switch for the transfer case has been recessed into the
dash just below the custom Autosounds head unit.
