1983 Ford Bronco
Owner: Steve83         (All of this user's registries on SuperMotors)
From: Memphis, TN, U.S.A.        (Other registries in TN)
Year, Make, & Model: 1983 Ford Bronco        (Other Ford Broncos in this club)
Clubs: SuperFord.org        (Other vehicles in this club)
FullSizeBronco.com        (Other vehicles in this club)
Nickname: That dirty old truck
Mileage: 350000
Engine: 1995 4.9L from F-150. Completely transplanted, including computer, air filter, y-pipe, & all accessories. 130A alternator, 1996 Bronco gas tank & pump. K&N drop-in.
Drivetrain: 1978 F-250 NP-435; original '83 NP-208F with around 350Kmi of HARD use; Six States rear d'shaft; rebuilt front d'shaft; '96 Bronco D44IFS with original rebuilt '83 diff 3.07; rebuilt Ford 8.8" 3.08; F&R antisway bars & Energy polyurethane bushings all around.
Notes: The body tub is an '82, the tailgate is a '96, the doors are '80 & '85, the front clip is '84, and the camper shell is a '96 with a '94 Explorer roof rack & '82 sliding windows. The rear seat & dash are the original '83 parts, but the instrument cluster has been heavily modified with '88 fuel & volt gauges and a '94 PSOM. The front seats are mixed captain's chairs and the door panels are '93 XLTs with PM, PW, & PL, with '94 power mirrors. I've added autolamps, an auto-dimming compass rear-view mirror, aftermarket remote keyless entry, The CB, scanner, & radar detector are hard-wired and mounted overhead. Planned mods include auto-dimming brights, & 4WABS with Traction Control. The bumpers are my own design (mostly hand-built). The front includes a fold-down grille guard, energy-absorbing push bumpers, fog lights, 2 storage boxes, recovery points, a spoiler, & a winch mount. Currently, I have a Warn XD9000i, but I'm looking for a Ramsey RE10000 or RE12000X. The rear has an integral hitch receiver & 3 locking storage boxes.
