I have owned the bronc since '98, when I got it, it didn't have much for creature comforts being a custom. it had a tired 351m, no cruise, no a/c, no tilt, no intermittent wipers, no stereo, no spare tire carrier, no inside hood release, but she did come with (I'm guessing) aftermarket roll bar, aftermarket nerf bars, 4" lift (I'm guessing again), and a Warn M10000 winch.
so we had to start doing something about some of these things. the tired 351 got the yank and in dropped a carb'd 460, that lasted for 3 years, till I got a hold of an EFI 460 out of an econoline.
Been running the EFI 460 for the past 7 years now without any problems, better fuel mileage than the 351m or the carb'd 460
recently (well as of a few days ago and today) I have added a few more creature comforts to it. I have added in, intermittent wipers (out of an 88 F250), a stereo, factory CB, tilt steering, and interior locking hood release.
To be added still is, factory front grille guard, rear spare tire carrier, and power windows and door locks (from 88 F250 as well)
I would like to do a ZF 5 speed swap eventually, but that will come in time.
