I have become very familiar with Jeff's and LMC truck! I'm like a kid in a candy store when on their website. Luckily I'm 30 minutes from LMC truck's warehouse so I can avoid paying for shipping. 👍
Nice Bronco. Congrats on finding a good one. I'm Restoring a 78 Bronco with a 460 CI Conversion. Lots of work ahead of me but I have the time. Retired last year. Enjoy your restoration and thanks for posting the video.
Thanks for the comment! Congrats on your retirement and new Bronco project. Do you have a lot of rust and bodywork to do? I finally got my motor running smooth and fluids changed throughout except the diffs. New Vintage Air AC and heat installed. Next up will be replacing the brake pads and rotors. I have plenty of Bronco videos on the channel, if you have any questions reach out!
@@jacobsupgrades I have rust at bottom of tailgate and above one rear wheel well. How do you like the Vintage Air AC and heat? I'm thinking about going that route vs repairing my existing system.
@@uavoftexas6925 sounds like you have a good project with minimal rust. So far I really like the Vintage Air ac kit. I've used the heat portion quite a bit but just got the AC charged. When I bought the Bronco it had the stock ac and heat but it never worked so I don't have a good comparison. I really like how the vintage air kit fits behind the dash and frees up more space in the engine bay and only requires electric power. I had to upgrade my alternator to run everything.
@@jacobsupgradeshey Jake! Im really considering getting that AC vintage kit for my bronco. Im not in too big of a hurry to get it since it costs a bit of change. Pretty much if that vintage air kit isn’t a huge upgrade that blows cold air, as if I were in my ford escape, I wont get it. My current original ac system doesnt blow cold, and im not sure if it will even blow cold air if i get it serviced. Hows the vintage ac system treating you? Did it exceed your expectation? Thanks.
@@78BroncoOscar95 thanks man! Run those BFG's till you wear them out those are good tires. I just changed mine out a little while back to Falken Wildpeak AT3 33x12.5R15 because the tires I got with the Bronco were over 7 years old and hydroplaned like crazy in the rain. I can't wait to test these out on the trail.
Congrats on the Bronco! It looks like a great foundation for a really nice build. I am doing a frame off restoration on my 79 that I have had since high school, but it has been delayed a bit because of moving to a new state. Hopefully I will be releasing some new videos of my project shortly. Anyway I just subscribed to your channel and will check out the other vids of your Bronco. Good luck wit it!
@projectmayhembronco5457, thank you we absolutely love it! That's awesome you've had your Bronco that long, it's good to know the history of it. I can't wait to see your build, I just subscribed to your channel. Welcome to the channel! Let me know if there's any videos in particular you want to see.
I've always loved the second gen bronco's they a blast. I've got an 81 with the 302 V8 automatic two tone brown over tan,traded it for a geo 4dr and $300.00 cash.
I like Ol Blue! I think this Bronco had a snap on cover at one point, the holes look like they were filled in by another owner but it's clear they were there.
@jgonzalez8250, I've been wondering the same thing. The wood grain panel is only on the glove box but does have the custom badge. There was no liner in the glove box I had to install a new one.
@gregsheffer912, thank you for the comment and information. I found out my Bronco has a C6 3 speed transmission which is very common for the dentside Broncos.
@michaellacroix8029, I've become very familiar with LMC truck they have just about everything. I'm lucky their warehouse is only a 30 minute drive from home.
Try doing some more homework before posting please. You were wrong on a lot of aspects of the bronco. Not knit picking, but people look to these videos for help. Have a good day and good luck with your project
@@jacobsupgrades the hubs come first before moving transfer case. The only time you need neutral is going to 4lo. The C6 is an option, 4 spd was standard. If you have the 203 which is the full time4x4 that was option as well. Yes it has hubs but it could have been converted to part time. If that's the case scrap the 203 and get yourself a 205. You're probably only missing a few options that the ranger xlt had so you have a good bronco. Now get to work and make it your own. Doing a 460 swap isn't a bad way to go either. Have a good time with it
@@bronco788 thank you for the feedback! This is my first classic Bronco and I was pretty new to it when I filmed this video. I've been wrenching in it quite a bit and learned a lot but there's still plenty more to learn.
@jacobsupgrades ya its never ending. It helps when replacing to replace everything in that area so the you're not going back before other parts fail i.e. doing tie rod ends. Midas well do the whole front end bushings and all, then you will know where you're at. Good luck
Jeff’s graveyard Bronco parts have been showing up on my front door. 😀 not sure who’s more excited… me or my UPS delivery guy. Have fun bro.

@eprohoda, thanks dude!
Congrats on your bronco bro!
Thank you! We love this Bronco, I need to do an update video on the changes I've made.
@@jacobsupgrades i look forward to watching them
Bro your tires look hella cool and now i want to go get them. My bronco sits on bf goodrich 31x10.5r15s.

Ol blue and/or midnight run. Check on getting the snap on pickup style topper for when you don't want to run with the hard top

@@brianakins7208 I've always liked the look of the 2nd gen's big body style with metal dash and simple interior.
Mind sharing how much you paid ? Been looking for a 79' and ironically found a decent one in Austin.
Ive never seen a 1979 Bronco with factory power windows nor an option list with it.
@randyweaver1975, I could be wrong but I think some of the Ranger XLT's had power window options.
The Ranger XLT Lariat trucks are only 79’s I’ve ever seen with power windows.
@@benb2953 so it must have only been the trucks then? Thanks for clarifying!
call it the pooper scooper. 😂
so the custom didn't have the side molding. so did they just change glove box?
@jgonzalez8250, I've been wondering the same thing. The wood grain panel is only on the glove box but does have the custom badge. There was no liner in the glove box I had to install a new one.
when did gm ever make a 3 speed powerglide, it's always been a 2 speed
I misspoke on the transmission. It actually has a Ford 3 speed C6 auto.
White wagon wheels would look sharp
@patrickdonnelly7351, those would look good! Have you found your 77 yet?
Large Marge. References to Pee Wee's Big Adventure, the Simpsons, and OJ.
@slammy555, I like it!
power glide is a 2 speed automatic made by GM....Ford Bronco does not have a power glide
@gregsheffer912, thank you for the comment and information. I found out my Bronco has a C6 3 speed transmission which is very common for the dentside Broncos.
right, it probably has a C4 or C6 automatic
Blue mule
@user-mi1ru3uo7i, I like it, it's definitely in the running!
Lmc for parts bro
