I no longer own this Bronco. I built it with help from my buddy Jason, and Mark at Beach City Broncos took care of the body work/paint. Found this album link in an old email:

Oh wow, I owned this Bronco just before you. I got it when I was 17 and it was in a poor state. My buddy (whom you got it from) helped me get it into decent shape until eventually he needed it to settle the deal with you. Nice to see it being cared for!

We didn't bring our Broncos but I did bring a photographer friend who got some pictures of some of you coming back from a run when we were on our way out to wheel... here's a link to an album with just the Broncos we passed, enjoy: https://photos.app.goo.gl/9JiSQQrNu17jJw1d7

Sorry, I'm going to eTDS. Gonna come up on Saturday afternoon

Finished filling holes in the dash. Need to put some filler on it and sand it down. Then I'll take it to Beachcitybroncos.com and Mark's body guy is going to teach me a bit about paint. Also scored a rebuilt 302/c4/d20 so now I pretty much have all the big-ticket items to get this thing running...

Since I installed a new motor 2 years ago I've been having running-hot issues which kept me from going off-roading and enjoying it as I was troubleshooting it with a new e-fan + controller, going through the whole cooling system even though everything was new etc. Turned out it my EGR valve...

I plan to drive my '78 F150 up on Saturday morning (leaving Sunday) with my buddy in his '05 Rubicon (each with a passenger). My dad is thinking about coming thru as well in his Gladiator. The Bronco isn't ready this year.

It's been slow for the Bronco; one of the guys at Beach City Broncos in San Diego has a motor for me that's ready to run but I've been doing some work on my truck that I should be wrapping up in the next week or so. Then I can drive down to San Diego and pick up the motor. In the meantime I...

Thanks, awesome resource.

Hey Mike, this was TDS in 2012. Yup, last time I saw you and I think you had just finished putting 1-tons on the green Bronco (love that thing). That inspired me to build something entirely different from the Bronco I just "finished".. 9 years later and I'm gathering parts for a 1 ton swap on a...

Awesome, I bought this Bronco shortly after this TDS trip (the brown one), daily drove it for a year.. and then used it as the donor to build this one (which I took to 2012 TDS):

I believe I do have a copy of the schematic referenced by the calibration code on my valve covers and I do indeed have all of the parts. I know for a fact I had it all set up incorrectly when it passed his visual check and the sniffer (very good readings he pointed out). I was missing the heat...

Pics from the first TDS I went to with SCB peoples.. Dutra (rest in peace) and I had just finished getting the gray Bronco going and took it out on it's first trip. Looking forward to the next one.

I imagine everyone here lives in CA and has to pass smog with their 1978-1979 Broncos.. I bought my federal emissions 1978 F150 in VA and moved back to CA a couple of years ago. I managed to get it to pass smog but I know my set-up isn't perfectly right and it's been causing problems with...

I was going to reseal the 289 or have it rebuilt but found a questionable freeze plug, timing cover seal was hard, found a bunch of junk at the bottom of the oil pan and in the oil pickup screen. So, pulled it out to get it ready for a new motor. I really wanted to get this thing running and...

I wanted to document this some where so why not here? Backstory: After installing my remanufactured 400/6.6 I had running-hot issues when doing very basic wheeling in the summer up Santiago mountain. The troubleshooting and attempted solutions were many and among them was installing a big 'ol...

My girlfriend wanted a Bronco and decided to just buy one this summer with help from our great friend Mark at beachcitybroncos.com in San Diego. It's a pretty unremarkable 1967 Bronco with a v8 (289), 3 on the floor, stock axles (Dana 30 front), manual everything, drum brakes. The good news is...

When my 351M (4 barrel intake and carb with headers) blew-up I didn't want to put too much money into a rebuild (was quoted like $4000+ for a roller cam rebuild) so I went with a remanufactured motor from sandjengines.com. Ordered a 400/6.6 with an RV cam installed and it arrived the same week...

I figure the F150 of this era is pretty close to an FSB.. Backstory: I ended up having to sell the last Bronco I built back in 2015. Was moving around the country a lot the last 10 years, ended up buying the F150 from a guy in Charlottesville, VA in 2017. Since then I've made it back to CA as...
