We can't wait for race season. We're going to put my blue 79 F100 7.3 race truck on the car trailer behind the blue 78 7.3 Bronco and head to the track. Talk about arriving in style! Lol!

Still need to cut some cross members out to get the body to set down all the way.

Thanks guys. Went and got the rims and tires today. I'm thinking we ought to go with 44" tires. Not sure yet. We'll see once we mount them and see what the 35's look like.

We pulled the old 95 in today. Time to strip it of its usefulness.

All I know is stock tires are way too small. Lol!

im gonna say 38 or 40in rubber for that much daylight.. 44 might be overkill unless they are skinny.. i dont care for huge wide tires..

^I agree, 37-40" should be good.

Absolutely badass build Chris.

x3. Jake, no bueno on the 44 tall skinnies... big broncos get a little top heavy and when you go too skinny they just look funny. I see broncos and blazers on rice and cane tires and it works for Florida mud, but just doesn't look proportional going down the road.
