I'll catch some flak here on the Forum regarding the drive train.
It's a Big Block Chevy ( Very Tight Fit in a '33/'34 I might add ) 350 Automatic, 9 Inch Positraction. The first engine was a BBC with a blower and 2 4's. A lot of HP, and t was too much to drive on the street.  Originally it was a rumble seat coupe, so the rear window rolls down. AC and Power Windows.

CobraJoe, do you drive that great looking Bronco in the salt? How do you keep the tin worms from eating it?

Yes I do, and it's a project, but I wash it ASAP. I actually disassembled the whole truck and sprayed 3M Body Schutz on the underside of the body and Rust Bullet on the chassis and drive train. Here it with the plow, ( I lowered the plow mounts about 8") I run 37's instead of the 44's when plowing so it's a little easier on the truck and doesn't corrode my Weld Wheels.









Here's a link to my build thread if anyone is interested:  https://www.fullsizebronco.com/forum/57-78-96-build-forum-builds-only/470090-96-build.html

Here's my early September 65 build Bronco. It has a factory PTO so it would be ideal for plow setup, if we had any snow.

I had a the same '66 w/ 170 cu. in six and three speed for my first plow truck. I hated the vacuum windsheild wipers... like everything we own, they transform through the years....





I sold it when I was 18 on a Saturday night and this is what it looked like on Sunday morning:



I still have this '74, although the garage roof crashed in on it several years ago during a blizzard...






I sold this '93 ( I owned for 20+ years) after I finished my '96

sweet trucks !
Unfortunately was never able to finish my 62 Scout 2WD (rare)








I do drive my German built 1964 Ford Taunus wagon daily in winter. Put quite some efforts in it to spray protective coating, wax, even adapt inner fenders and purchasing decent quality modern German winter tires. even had to get new wheels for that reason. As a benifit
these perfectly take a ss set of 1964(?) Dodge Polara wheelcovers.

My '31/'32 Roadster I've posted about before.  Has a '63 406, 4 speed & a 9" rear.  An original '31 roadster body & '32 frame.  A dropped 1937 Ford oval tube front axle. I've seldom seen any pix of those oval tube axles dropped.
It does have '41 chevy tail lights.

stunning to say the least Tom. That sure makes for a nice surprise to see the Alaska plate on an early Ford roadster. well at least it's the west coast, isn't it ? 
That engine must be way too much for the 2000pds A-V8  holy smoke !

posted before as well, and this is Jay's and mine 34 Sdn, now living in Austria/Europe. 302/C4/2.47 posi 9"

Thanks! Nah, the 406 ain't engine too much for it. Wish my Ranchero would go as good!
You guys sure have some beautiful cars! I like all the old Fords but I really love them open wheel rods.  For me there's nothing like driving them on the street.  I've always said that driving my Roadster was like driving a big powerful 4 wheeled motorcycle.
I do have some fast bikes but I think the Roadster might even out accelerate or outrun most all of them.
It has a top too but I've seldom run it.  If it wasn't for the wheels I think this this pic someone took would look like it came from the early 1960s. (I want to put some Torque Thrusts on it now.)

[Jeff Norwell]

Really great to see members fine,fine rides here.

Although i will always love early fords..... 57's have stolen my heart.

[RICH MUISE]
