I hate to see it go, but I'll always have the memories. We had some good times.

That is a whole lotta truck. What's the wheelbase, like 9 feet?

Why did you sell?

A friend of mine has a Salt Belt Centuion as a plow truck. As beat up as it sits it's surprisingly comfortable.

Where have you been? That's our MS51 Crown we imported from Japan . I'm in the middle of a triple weber 2JZ swap right now. In fact I just took a break from mounting the carb linkage...

Build thread here .

And more photos on Instagram .

Starting a business takes all the money you can pull together...that and it only gets 8mpg with a tailwind going downhill...

This one was clean...California all but a year of it's life. I'm guessing I was the first person to drive it in snow...and man did it go great in snow!

Something like that. It sits on a shortened F350 Cab Chassis frame.

Oh, i didn't know about the business. Cash is king in that situation.

Best of luck!

Not that. I go to Japan about every other year. I've seen plenty of those. I want to know about that Abarth.

Yup...said goodbye to the racecar build many months ago, and now was time for the Bronco to go.

Thanks!

Actually, I'm here more than I should be. I just ignore the FP and most personal blogs. Nice Abarth though.

Damn, at $5k, I'd heavily consider buying that bad boy. Lucky new owner! Best of luck with the business!

Thanks! The new owner was shocked at how clean it was...you don't see Bronco's with so little rust in this part of the country.
