Hello everyone I have been here for awhile but havent had any good pics of my baby . But I got her outta the garage today and got some . There alot of finishing touches to do yet but its almost there . Peices and parts are as follows , 1977 F250 dana 60 rear , Front TTB with the ( dana parts from the C word conversion for 8 lug ) , Detroit locker in back with detroit true trac up front , 5:13 gears , 351 W with motorsport SVO aluminum heads , cobra 1.7 rockers , fluid damper , total MSD ignition ( ditributor,timing computer,MSD 6 OFFROAD box with rev limiter, holley 725 CFM , NOS cheater kit set at 100 HP , . The tranny is a worked over E4OD with a bauman engineering baumanator controller ( wow what a ball of wires ) . All suspension is superlift with 6 inch rear springs superrunner radius arms and superrunner steering kit , ( think im goona do a coil spring spacer kit in front to level her off cause its starting to sag in front and dont want to lower back ) Fuel is give up by a mallory comp 140 gph , All custom powder coat is done by me ( yes all the blue and yellow is powdercoat with the exception of the rear springs cause they were brand new and i didnt want to take them apart so I painted them. The front bumper is a warn enforcer which im goona move up to matcht the body lines ( just didnt look right ) and the rear is a 10 inch drop bumper front has a custom reese hitch and back has a drawtite for a ten inch drop . Inside theres all kinds of stuff about $5000 worth of stereo and video equipment . LOL this is what happens when youve always wanted something and finally get the time and money to do it . Hope you guys like her .

AWESOME, DUDE!!!
DId you do the powder-coating at home, like the stuff you bake in the oven in the garage? I want to try that...
You might try swapping front 8" lift coils instead of adding a spacer under them. I like the forward rake, though. Again, nice work!!!

Thanks for the reply . The powdercoat I use comes from a place called Eastwood they have all kinds of restoration stuff there I will include the link but will break it cause I cant remember the rules about active links out of a website I know some places dont allow it because of the bandwidth useage . If anyone wants anything powdercoated I am very reasonable . I have many local people bring stuff to me . I have done everything from snowmobile tunels to yard ornaments , The powdercoat is kind expensive for how much you get but it looks really nice and is way more durable than paint . The most expensive part is the oven . For small stuff you could do it cheap but to do bigger stuff ovens are expensive . I built mine around wanting to coat a yamaha banshee frame and the dana 60 full floater axle that is under the bronco . I also did the complete tunel for my 98 thundercat 1000 cc ( did that flourecent green , Looks way cool ) Well heres the link just take out the space after www . Thanks again www. eastwoodcompany.com
