I was thinking since Caleb has watched them tighten down so much heavy equipment with those chain binders that he and his massive self was going to crank down on it and rip the rear differential clean out of that Bronco. lol. You crank down hard with them on heavy equipment, but you'll bend and break things on regular vehicles if you crank down on them. lol. My buddy used those chain binders on his SRT Challenger Hellcat Redeye, and he said that he didn't really tighten them down that hard, but he pulled things all out of alignment. He said to get it back into alignment they had to buy some sort of adjustment bolts for the front because they don't come with any from the factory, and they had to loosen and adjust the entire rear cradle. lol.
In 79 I had that same bronco. Mine was blue and white.Im a follower and subscriber since your start. I crashed mine in a horrible accident 45 years ago. Y'all brought back some horrible memories for me The thick part behind the cab and fiberglass cover will crush . The roof went to the steering wheel and it to the seat. And I was trapped on the floor. The jaws of life and great paramedics I was saved. Please please put a roll bar in that bronco. I know y'all get millions of comments but please take this to heart..
My second car was a "78 Bronco. It was Blue with Silver, and a previous owner put a 460 in it. I could physically watch the gas gage move when I did burnouts. I wish I never sold it. Loved taking the top off and heading to the lake.
My stepdad had an F250 with a 460 that I drove all the time. I remember seeing the gas gauge move when I would gun it or do a burnout. Luckily, it had two gas tanks. It was Orange and we named it the Pumpkin. 😂 Cool truck. It got 7 MPG City 11 Highway. It would be an expensive truck to drive today.
I had a 1978 Bronco and rebuilt it from the ground up, lift kit, 4 speed and big mud tires and custom paint job. It was my pride and joy for 22 years. That thing was awesome and went through anything. I always took it mudding, rock climbing and trail riding. I wish I still had it, it was my pride and joy and a beautiful show truck. Best 4×4 ever made in my opinion!!!
Diesel Dave and Allen are legends the back bone of both channels Sparks and Hans can go play with each others choppers for all I care. Sorry big up the videographers and editors u put the magic all together
That was emotional ... I have thought for a number of years to get my dad's red Ford truck back (1970s). I sure miss that truck. ... I'll guess the family will want to keep the Bronco in the family for their sons.
That's back when they actually built a REAL truck. I've had plenty of '78's and 79' for trucks and Broncos. What I would do to have any of them right now. Plus easy as hell to work on. You can actually fit inside the wheel wells to work on them. And the fuel pumps were easy as hell to change. Why change the motor. I'd rebuild it and keep matching numbers. NOT changing the motor will bring in a hell of a lot more money.
I was just happy when my older sister gave me her old Honda Accord lol. I wanna see Dave cause I'm a Dave too named after my Father who was also a Dave. Lived in Iowa and you'd be suprise how many sweet old cars you'll find out there on the barn. My buddy's dad rented out the Route 66 drag strip when we were high school and they let us race our cars. Also, thank you Dad for buying us all cars and taking care of your family. RIP.
I learned to drive in a 78 Bronco, including how to not forget to brake when making a left hand turn. They'll tip up on two wheels, and it's not as easy as it looks to get it back down without flipping it.
freaking 8 arm mechanic lol , dude is not wrong this year at Barrett Jackson saw a few 4x4 go for crazy money retro is in with all the new bells and whistles
THE GREATEST WIZARD AND THE GREAT DIESEL DAVE WILL GET EVERYTHING FIX THE RIGHT WAY. THANK YOU SO VERY VERY MUCH THE GREAT DIESEL DAVE AND THE GREATEST WIZARD.
I had a 72 bronco. Got married.Sold it to buy a 79 F350.. Wife drove a CJ5. She sold it to buy an ordered a bad 84 full size Bronco with a lockers front n rear and a 4spd with OD. Started a business that we grew to 20 plus Fords and The wife got a super cool Excusion 7.3... WE LOVE OUR Broncos and Excusion... It is pronounce Bo lin. Used to secure lines(ropes) to the bow of the boat. Allows it to move freely and break it open. I did learn to tie that knot while on Ski Patrol... Hanging from the chairlift while tying it with the other hand....That was many moons ago...
My dad had a 78 bronco red and white 2 tone, 351 i do believe under hood but automatic on colomn 4x4, and wasnt very rusted up , but that was like 20 years ago, and id say he had maybe $600 into purchasing it , body had needed some work but interior was perfect and ran good i can say , but he did what he did with most things he bought 😂 , he bought th and either used them or played with them and enjoyed them for a short while and some he would fix up or some he would just run and use till he had no use or desire to keep it and moved on to something different and new to him , the only thing he kept VERY long besides jobs, was my mother and my brother and I , sadly he passed away at 59 years old from SUPPOSED COVID/Pneumonia, but didnt smoke or drink or drug , just worked and played harder , but suddenly and sadly he was gone and we have no real answers STILL and it seems to look as if we WILL NEVER GET ANY other then the BS they already gave us and yall accepted , or didnt care enough to EVEN NOTICE the REAL deal of whats going on and why and when and where else before you have no choice to see the truth and by then it WILL be too late, as its already late ENOUGH, but sadly yall going to focus so hard on your daily lives that you dont see ,your all going to work or busy with SOMETHING that perhaps pays your bills and feed your families but the food bought at big stores and corporations is NO GOOD for you /me , and why your focusing on the things you belive are huge , they will look VERY tiny compared to whats going tocome in the near future but it couldvw possibly been stopped if you ALL would wake up and unite together as America once was UNITED and see the truth of what americas been used for , and why its planned to have an ends and sadly knowbody cares enough or does shit but mess around , even more sadly is that the ones who DO have ALL they need are the ones who should pair together secretly like each TH-camr with each other and other youtuber and yall rich ones could help form your own secret societies to fifht the real secret societies that are the problems , like JFK warned us about before was killed 4 it
Wow diesel Dave is a bad ass diesel mechanic I would truly love to have any truck he built. I would cherish a diesel truck he built how cool would that be.
I had a 78 f250, the best year truck ford built, i drove the hell out of it and beat it pretty good, they are sought after now.. the best running gear was the np435 and 205 transfercase with the dana rearend
I have gotten so many offers for my 1977 f250. 4x4 Last year of the Highboy. I think the same year as the first Bigfoot monster truck. Highboys where 1967 through 1977. They used the f350 frame for the f250 4x4. You can tell by body mounts pointing out from frame. You had to order which v8 . But regular they had the 300 6 cly with 4 speed. V8 you could order was 302, 360,390,400.428 4x4 wasn't sold with 460 untill 1978. I put 460 in mine with C6. I have a lot of modifies to aluminium radiatior. 35x12. 5x16. 5 BFGoodrich KO. Sunroof. 12000 lb electric wench. Both chrome bumpers. Chrome kicker and tire flares. Over load springs. Bucket seats. Off road lights. 1953 KW cab lights. Freight train horn. Possitrac 4.10 gear ratio. It is original blue color same as Bigfoot. Gt steering wheel. Put in power steer instead of hydraulic assist. And more. Lowest cash offer has been 12,500 and highest was 35,000 cash. But i know some are going 100,000 to 160,000$. It has been my restore for 7 years. I traded 40 bales of grass hay for it than towed it home. No brakes didn't run. That 460 always starts. C6 i rebuilt and modified myself takes all abuse i can give it. Even pulling with front end off the ground. I keep it loaded with tools. Have cherry picker mounted in bed with 2500 lb winch. I have rewired it. Built exhaust myself. Changed bed to two fuel tanks and removed cab tank. Also it is separate transfer case stock. I think a 206 or 209. Can't remember. 4 to 5 miles per gallon. My only ride.
Hay guys im from Corbin Kentucky my and my family love to be one of the folks that win something from you or even just come over and hang out with you and your guys you recoveies I so amazing the way you bless people who really need help God bless you
That's kool.looks like the one my father had.black and orange.he was a Ford freak.i got 72 mustang but probably never see it road ready.oh well you guys have fun.as always.
Id say keep the stock motor, but pull it and rebuild with a it of upgrades depending on the power they want maybe stroke it. It definitely needs a holley EFI kit, and a good mild built tra s behind it with a good t case like a np 205/203. Then depe ding on wnat they want aybe a small like 2-4 in lift and build the axles with some lower gears and a cojple lockers and a nice set of 35s or 37" Micky Thompsons then pai t it or just clean up the original and get the interior do e up nice with a simple mild cage and nice seats with some harnesses and that would be one bad ass Bronco anyone would love to have
Someone needs to talk to him about how to close big heavy hoods though!! You NEVER close one from the corner. ALWAYS in the center! Will mess with the hinges and can cause the hood to buckle in half.
Why do people always wait until they've lost someone to complete their loved one's dreams. We don't know how long we have each other. Stop waiting for a better time. The perfect moment is probably not going to happen. GO, DO IT NOW, BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE... Every single day is a lost opportunity.
The old gal is not in bad shape. My ‘78 Bronco was stolen from my driveway in broad daylight in 1990. I’ve always wondered where it ended up. Probably in Mexico.

Stop embarrassing the channel what such boring content
you blew the reveal by having the bronco during the ad.... 8 minute video ends here.
Legend has it. Caleb is still tightening that chain

I was gonna say it but u beat me to it .......next video we will see him still trying to tighten it 😂🤣😂🤣😂
@calvinh.8882 good thing that truck probably get an alignment anyways lol
@@terrancegrant5573where's Caleb? Still tightening that chain. 😆
Have to be smarter than what you are working on!🤣

I’ve never seen a sponsor get so much air time than on this channel the longest clip by far🤔 but I’m ain’t never guna stop fast forwarding them
Some people are entertaining when they get out of the office, I never thought chain binders could be so full of comedic value.

I smiled big when it turned over. Glad you could save her. Beautiful.
Man that Bronco is in great shape! I am stoked to watch what happens.
It’s rusty
That was emotional ... I have thought for a number of years to get my dad's red Ford truck back (1970s). I sure miss that truck. ... I'll guess the family will want to keep the Bronco in the family for their sons.
Had a few of the 78-79 Broncos over the years. I miss them all. 🥲

Thank u Dave for the correction on bowline
I was just happy when my older sister gave me her old Honda Accord lol. I wanna see Dave cause I'm a Dave too named after my Father who was also a Dave. Lived in Iowa and you'd be suprise how many sweet old cars you'll find out there on the barn. My buddy's dad rented out the Route 66 drag strip when we were high school and they let us race our cars. Also, thank you Dad for buying us all cars and taking care of your family. RIP.
this channel needs way more love man
That red 70's ford flatbed in the background looked badass too!
it's "Bow Line" used to hold bow sails on sailboats ages ago.
yes, bow as in the front of a ship, not as in archery.
A REAL BRONCO
Sparks Motors puts the Spark back in your engine 😉👊😁🙏🇺🇸😎
I learned to drive in a 78 Bronco, including how to not forget to brake when making a left hand turn. They'll tip up on two wheels, and it's not as easy as it looks to get it back down without flipping it.
Anything is better than the other dude that was doing these. Huge improvement. Thumbs up 👍🏼 for diesel and Caleb
freaking 8 arm mechanic lol , dude is not wrong this year at Barrett Jackson saw a few 4x4 go for crazy money retro is in with all the new bells and whistles
THE GREATEST WIZARD AND THE GREAT DIESEL DAVE WILL GET EVERYTHING FIX THE RIGHT WAY. THANK YOU SO VERY VERY MUCH THE GREAT DIESEL DAVE AND THE GREATEST WIZARD.
I put a 460 crate motor in mine. It ran so much better.
Diesel Dave + The Wizard = entertainment!!
I had a 72 bronco. Got married.Sold it to buy a 79 F350.. Wife drove a CJ5. She sold it to buy an ordered a bad 84 full size Bronco with a lockers front n rear and a 4spd with OD. Started a business that we grew to 20 plus Fords and The wife got a super cool Excusion 7.3...
WE LOVE OUR Broncos and Excusion...
It is pronounce Bo lin. Used to secure lines(ropes) to the bow of the boat. Allows it to move freely and break it open. I did learn to tie that knot while on Ski Patrol... Hanging from the chairlift while tying it with the other hand....That was many moons ago...
I can't stop laughing at this comment.
I've got an Excursion, I love it!!
What an amazing barn gold and such potential slap like 20 clear coats and call it a day absolutely gorgeous Ford GOLD👊😁🙏🇺🇸😎

Allen you got this
Can’t wait to have you work on my ‘72 short bed gmc step side. 💞🤟🥳
I grew up with a 79. I would love to still have one.
1978 black on black XLT in my barn now 20 years bout it in 1980 110,000 miles .going to start it this year.
Looks great. All those years in yhe weather in that open shed. It sounds great.
Happy birthday to the birthday folks 👊😁🙏🇺🇸😎
Thank you
This was also the year that they came out with the ECM that sucks too, but I had a good time with the 1978 Ford bronco
Intro is something out of Talladega Nights.
Wow diesel Dave is a bad ass diesel mechanic I would truly love to have any truck he built. I would cherish a diesel truck he built how cool would that be.
Those Broncos are cool! Love the '68's too!
A Bronco Ranger XLT with factory AC is a jewel.
How cool is this.. great Bronco love it
Love those broncos 🇺🇸
I had a 78 f250, the best year truck ford built, i drove the hell out of it and beat it pretty good, they are sought after now.. the best running gear was the np435 and 205 transfercase with the dana rearend
The second generation (1978-1979) was the best looking year for the Ford Bronco.
Love the older 2 door ford broncos.

As I watch this latest episode, it gives me hope for America!!
as if that thing started up, you guys are legends
Right on Mr Man I always loved watching you in your content thank you so much for being you
I remember really liking the 2 door Chevy blazers when I was a teenager
Hay guys im from Corbin Kentucky my and my family love to be one of the folks that win something from you or even just come over and hang out with you and your guys you recoveies I so amazing the way you bless people who really need help God bless you
Complete restore and keep those are the last of the real ones pride and joy keep it 😊
I laughed so much at this episode!! Good one guys!!
30 minutes after the video ended that guy is still working on tying down the rear passenger side chain..
Nice to see the Ford Bronco
What a trip this is going to be.❤Australia
Awesome video 😊
Looked like an eagle when he turned the wippers on lol
We can do everything, we are the Mavericks of Utah
That's kool.looks like the one my father had.black and orange.he was a Ford freak.i got 72 mustang but probably never see it road ready.oh well you guys have fun.as always.
washing that dust off before letting those old blades loose on that screen would have been a good idea
Looked like Smiley the worm from Sesame street on the windshield lol!!!💚💚💚🇨🇦
That is a beautiful bronco! But I swear they look like their family.
Awesome bronco 😊
Did the ultimate heavy wrecker build get canceled? Haven't seen any updates about this for a while now.
Id say keep the stock motor, but pull it and rebuild with a it of upgrades depending on the power they want maybe stroke it. It definitely needs a holley EFI kit, and a good mild built tra s behind it with a good t case like a np 205/203. Then depe ding on wnat they want aybe a small like 2-4 in lift and build the axles with some lower gears and a cojple lockers and a nice set of 35s or 37" Micky Thompsons then pai t it or just clean up the original and get the interior do e up nice with a simple mild cage and nice seats with some harnesses and that would be one bad ass Bronco anyone would love to have
Hooking up the trailer was like watching idiots at a boat ramp.
Hahahahahahahahaha
this whole video was like that ... man i hope they have people who actually know what they're doing to fix this thing up
Dang!! Very decent barn find.. ( kinda ).. makes me miss my 79 and 86 broncos.. Definitely work horses.
Someone needs to talk to him about how to close big heavy hoods though!! You NEVER close one from the corner. ALWAYS in the center! Will mess with the hinges and can cause the hood to buckle in half.
Currently as it sits it's not worth $217,000. But it will be after you guys have your way with it!
That one-wheel peel killed what was left of the LS 9".
Awesome find! Is there any opportunity of buying some parts you guys may not use after the restoration?
I thought Hans was bad wow!!!
I actually did Dana 60 conversions on that model of Bronco before the big boys did..
Caleb seems lost as to the intricacies of the come a longs/ratchets. Laughed at the Batman scenes!
Why do people always wait until they've lost someone to complete their loved one's dreams. We don't know how long we have each other. Stop waiting for a better time. The perfect moment is probably not going to happen. GO, DO IT NOW, BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE... Every single day is a lost opportunity.
Unfortunately this was a tragic accident and no sign of death. Not to mention the original owner was working on it, just slowly and surely.
Well atleast you explained what the hell you were talking about when you asked it was worth 217,000..fucking brilliant..
Glad I ended that video early
that guy in the red shirt is a total city boy 👨🏼💻
Take it easy
Great video
Sometimes a diesel Dave is like the clown show, but he's the kind of guy you just want to give a hug to
It hurt my soul when he ran the wipers
I'm a 62 year old marine that learned how to tie a bowline knot when I was a boy scout that's the way I learned to pronounce it.
110% yes they are fully restored or new never driven of touched
The garden gnome with cowboy boots looks like you got a sunburn😢
Make sure when you start a vehicle that’s been sitting for 10 years you keep it @ 5k rpm right out of the gate
Farva? Did ya get that liter of cola?
Let me save you a ton of time. No.
Hell not even half that
In that case I won't mention the savings I had to offer on your auto warranty policy
As a 5th gen Bronco owner. No. It ain’t worth it. My Bronco is worth 20k to at the very most 30k, and that’s if I finish the interior.
Lol
Ah yeah. 20k on its best day to a drunk and desperate buyer
Bowline Knot is a great thing
Bowline, I line that attaches to the bow of a boat.
Dave, you definitely have A LOT of patience.
Some body please help Baby Face out He really needs help BADLY!!!!
Wait wait wait wait... what's up with that explorer in the back?? What's the deal with that? That thing is SICK
Should just face time that backup on the phones live cameras might work ?
hey caleb do you even know how to use that binder?
Bow-line
How about an in line figure 8, to retain strength of rope
I saw one for 8k down the road last week!
The old gal is not in bad shape.
My ‘78 Bronco was stolen from my driveway in broad daylight in 1990. I’ve always wondered where it ended up. Probably in Mexico.
I use snap ring pliers for that.
If it's been sitting it would be crazy not to check gas condition and oil
