I would take that front bumper & throw it at the local tweakers though HO. Give them something shiny to contemplate.

it wouldnt be bad if just the bumper was chrome, but having the valance chrome is too much

With the height of that Runner, you'd need a crane to lift the top off.

Oh man that Ford is nuts. Speaking of nuts, I can circle about 20 places where nuts and bolts will come clean off when he tries to run it over something... Not to mention his neck when the front end slams down off-angle and shears things off as it wants to flex. Yeah - top-heavy truck and 10-20K lbs of force...

I just see disaster all over that thing...

Howdy all. This has been my project truck for about 10 years now. If you have ever wanted to build a monster truck but didn't know where to start here is one that is almost ready to go. Here are some specs:

Truck: 1986 Ford Bronco, Eddie Bauer edition 4x4 Cloth seats

Motor: 1978 460, fresh rebuild (less than 400 miles on it) * Bored .030 over with 1:9.5 compresion * RV Camshaft for stump-pulling torque * Crank ground .010/.010 with all fresh bearings * new lifters and rods * heads shaved and rebuilt * Ford Racing Aluminum valve covers * Edelbrock duel plane intake * Holly Carb * MSD Offroad electronic ignition

Transmission, C6 Fresh rebuild (less than 400 miles) * New clutch packs * valve body rebuilt with mild shift kit * RV torque converter for low lockup

Transfercase, NP205 Fresh rebuild * all new bearings and seals * 1410 U-Joint on rear (never got one for the front but it is a bolt on)

Axles 2.5 ton Military Rockwells * Hubs flipped front and rear * Bearings repacked * 1410 Ujoints front and rear * pinion shaft mounted disk brake in rear * comes with one Detroit locker (not installed)

Suspention: * 19" of lift over stock total * 12" coil springs on 7" WELDED blocks * Triangulated four link in front * rear is welded blocks with stock leafs. * I reposistion the rear leafs underneth the frame for more flex and did a shackle flip. The rear needs a anti wrap bar fabricated Tires/Wheels * Wheels are military 2.5 ton 20" steel * Tires are 48" Michilin brand new retreded XLM's

Other Misc * I gutted the dash, it now has a custom aluminum panel dash with speedo, tach, oil/water/volt meter. It has a CD player and CB Radio installed in the dash. I replaced the factory speakers with aftermarket speakers (but no sub). The fuese box is on the outside of the dash, no more fumbling around upside down looking for bad fuses. * The motor has a onboard air compressor and a onboard welder (needs to be wired up) * 8,000 pound warn winch * Optima off-road battery

Here is what the truck needs to be finished:

Front drive shaft; Has the rear one, just needs the front

Some work to the wiring; the battery wires have oxidixed and probably need replacing, sometimes it will start sometimes it won't, it is a wire problem

Rear anti wrap bar OR rear lift springs; whatever you want to do, but it will suffer from axle wrap bigtime as is

reweld front four link brackets; Very simple operation, I just welded the brackets on to close together

Welding shock mounts and installing shocks

Overall this is a 95% done truck. I have invested (sunk) over 20K into it. It was very theriputic at the time, but I haven't serioulsy wrenched on it in about 4 years. Take her away for $5,500 and finish it off and enjoy it. This truck is located in Greenville, last time I was there it started up and I drove it around the storage place I keep it at. The truck runs and drives but isn't road legal and isn't ready for the trail/mud. If you are intrested please have 1) a tow rig and 2) access to a welder; you will need both. I am asking $5,500; I will entertain trades but I am not interested in boats or another project vehical.

I live in Raleigh, the truck is in Greenville, E-mail me with any questions

but it has rockwells, you can do ANYTHING if you got rockwells.

lol I think its kind of cool. If you have got to have a minivan might as well make it a monster minivan

46&2 · « **Reply #1717 on:** Jan 04, 2009, 12:25:44 PM »

Haha I actually saw a build up on pirate a few years ago where a guy was SASing a Chevy Astro van. Definitely not the vehicle I would want to dump a lot of money into, but he had a big family and needed to keep the minivan, so he did a build up on it. Actually did pretty good work, though I dont think this is the same one. Whatever floats your boat

I admit I do like those ford straight axle 4wd vans. Always thought it would be kinda cool to have a mildly built one, kind of a camping or hunting rig. There was one in petersons a while back, it looked pretty sick for a van.

Rocksurfer · « **Reply #1718 on:** Jan 04, 2009, 01:31:07 PM »

Looks pretty cool to me, they did make those in 4wd so if it started with 4wd it isn't to hard to do what he did. I'll post them before it gets sold and the link goes away.

THK Matt · « **Reply #1719 on:** Jan 04, 2009, 02:58:13 PM »

there is a 1 ton Astro Van up here. its red, expedtion style and on 35s I believe.... thing is armored up too.
might be a Ford E350 or whatever... looks like a Astro though...

I think they are hella cool.

Cheesemaker · « **Reply #1728 on:** Jan 07, 2009, 03:50:00 PM »

I need to get pics of a local guys van. It's a E-350 lifted 8" with 35's. Actually looks pretty good, and he takes it off road all the time. And it's all diamond plate inside, so he can just hose it out. Has this cockpit wrap around console that has more gauges than the space shuttle. Custom bumpers, and the rear will double as a holding tank for water. And there is a 80 gallon spare fuel tank underneath. He is also one of the owners of Tillamook Country Smoker.

There are about 10 vans like this around town, not to the extreme as Mr. Crossley's, but all cool for a Ford.

I took this picture at deadman wash in north phx of all places.. Jackass in an f350 tried it despite our warning that it was 7+ft deep and flowing fast AND he had kids in the truck.. the truck ended up a few hundred feet downstream.. after a 30 minute search and rescue we got all of them out of the water, and turns out this guy is a firefighter

here in phoenix.. My buddy even gave him a ride to his house in town, not even a thank you, thanks, a towel(we all got wet) or offer to replace the $200 climbing rope I lost savin their dumbasses.. Ive dealt with many phoenix firefighters and trust me, if your house catches on fire here, put it out yourself..
