Hello, I spent 8 months building my '78 Bronc with a '91 6BT Cummins, and I figured I'd show you all the build process.
First off, back in April of 2009, I found a '78 Bronco Custom on craigslist for a mere $700. I'd wanted one for.. oh about 30 years, and one just never fell into my lap, until now. Finally getting my favorite truck of all time, I wanted to use my favorite light truck motor of all time, which is the early Cummins all-mechanical 5.9L 6BT. I wanted to go diesel for a few reasons.
1) Fuel mileage - I was building this truck to be my daily driver.
2) Power - I hate driving a slow vehicle.
3) Longevity - These motors generally last a very long time
4) Diesels are really cool.
So here we go: My 1978 Cummins Bronco Project. :rockon
