Vehicle Description
This custom 1979 Ford Bronco comes from the hands of Mason Rush and
is the recipient of a frame-off restoration. It is powered by a Gen
3 Coyote 5.0-liter engine with a 3.0-liter Gen 5 Whipple
supercharger, mated to a 10-speed automatic transmission. It is
equipped with a custom-fabricated, hand TIG-welded stainless-steel
exhaust by RadFabs in Phoenix, AZ. Fuel is supplied by dual Phantom
Aeromotive Stealth fuel pumps in a Boyd Welding aluminum gas tank.
Power is transferred to the wheels through a rebuilt New Process
205 transfer case, new drivelines and rebuilt axles with new gears.
This Bronco is finished in 2023 Ford Azure Gray Metallic paint by
PPG that was sprayed with a white two-tone and then clearcoated. It
was carefully buffed before the freshly polished factory trim was
installed. It has new exterior lighting, high-quality trim and
grille, new chrome handles, new chrome bumpers, new emblems, and
all-new glass. The rear window and tailgate mechanisms are restored
to factory operating conditions, including turn-key window
operation. This Bronco rides on 17-inch KMC wheels and 35-inch
Nitto tires. The suspension includes a 4-inch lift kit with dual
front Fox 2.0 reservoir shocks, single rear Fox 2.0 reservoir
shocks and a Fox steering stabilizer. Stopping power is provided by
a CPP hydro-boost system and 4-wheel disc brakes with stainless
steel brake lines. The interior features new all-black carpet,
custom leather seats, new retractable seatbelts and custom leather
door panels. The roof features black suede and custom LED
backlighting. Dakota Digital gauges complete the dash in modern
fashion, along with a tilt steering column and factory steering
wheel. For comfort, a Vintage Air system was installed to control
air conditioning and heat, while a RetroSound Bluetooth stereo
pumps out the music. To complete the vintage look and feel using
modern technology, the Bronco was connected by all-new wiring.
