That's what I like in a mudder, all business, looks don't count. Nice truck, looks like crap though. I had a 1972 Dodge 3/4 ton that was just like it.

Betcha when your daily driver breaks, the Bronco always gets you where you need to go, right.

Cool bronco! 347 right?. You do the 44 up front, 9" rear ? Auto?
I started out with a EFI 5.0, c-4, and stock running gear. Rearends didnt last long. Went to a 9", then a 44 up front, locked front a rear. After the c-4 gave up the ghost, I went c-6, then after much NOS, the 302 popped a head gasket. (mad at girlfreind):doh:. Buildup really started then. I built a 393 ci windsor stroker, with victor jr. heads, the high rise victor efi, big honkin injectors, .600- .625 lift cam with around 310 duration (hyd. roller.)
Went with flat top 302 wiseco's, giving it around 11.5-1 comp. (too much for pump gas)MSD, L&L headers, and a bunch of other crap. UHhhh, then the c-6 took a crap. Tired of fighting with auto I went to a np 435 heavy $$$ cast iron 4 speed granny gear.:ford:. Tough as nails, just no more drag racing.
Fun on the rocks though! Never let me down since the straight gear.
Funniest thing- I used to pull a 24 foot enclosed with the 302/ c-4, and it was faster on take off WITH the trailer than my dads old 6.9 dually unloaded.:pointlaugh:. I miss the good old days.:(

Its a 44 and 9" 4:56 gears spooled F&R. 347 stroker MAF, injected. No gas for me though!! Believe it or not it has 53cc 289 heads on it, so the compression is up there! I run a performer cam because i need to pull vacuum to run the class i am in. ;)


And yes Arisley its all business, and looks like crap but i surprise a lot of people at the bogs with it.:D
