Do a search for Pat Gremillion or Jason Paule. They both have narrowed early broncos. Not buggies either. Full bodies.

cool thanks steve...

mutt.. thanks I'll check those gents out....

keep em coming if you got em

Gordon has apretty sweet narrowed bronco. I had a pic but can't find it.

whose purple bronco is that? Did it used to belong to Tim from Bronco Alley? I REALLY want to narrow my EB and that is a pretty sweet idea/... I'd like to see how much weight it saved.

i dont' know, call matt at www.rockware.net i got the pics from his site.

here is tub 8" narrower than stock

hey gordon...send me a PM about how you narrowed the tailgate... gracias... I wanna dovetail my rig.

nicest narrowed EB is Tim's of Bronco Alley.

he sold it to a guy name Chris Towry... He lives here in TX, and is one of the guys who got me to buy an EB to begin with.

Here's and EB one of the guys in our club made into a tube buggy. He's run EROCC with it. I think the frame, grille, and clutch peddle are all that is left of the Bronco.

savage.. not much left in that buggy....
gordon your rigs ass is nice.. you got any more shotS?

heay texas tea.... refresh my memory about dovetailing.... what exactly does that do???

It leaves my rig wide in the middle and front and makes the rear about 7-12" narrower...kinda tapered. I want to do something with the front, but I haven't decided what yet...

oh, ok.. thanks. that wouldnt look too bad.... sorta like the purlple one up top here.... and idea anyway

Here is another narrowed EB it to is purple. I they are not the same though. This huy is running coil-overs and everything else you can imagine. I just took these pics last month.

Here's a pic of Tim Haight's Bronco.
It's 5" narrower in the middle and 13'' in the front.
The "Bronco" humps have been removed from the front fenders. (?)

Does it work now piggy? JR, post some pics of yours. I wouldn't call it a bronco but it is a buggy, and it is bad ass.

Ok, I know you are sick of seeing this thing, but I've got 80 hours in narrowing it another 4" (don't ask).
It's now 7" less in the middle and 10" in the front

one more. Hey, it's nice to get to use my star again!

man we're getting some real nice stuff here guys... I think I'll have enought to search for for a long time....

hey keep em coming if yo got em.. preciate it...

not good, it looks like a scout without the humps.:flipoff2:

JR.. JESUS BUTTFUCKING CHRIST...
I will never get tired of looking at your bronco... that is beutiful man. That is what my bronco aspires to be. very nice job. now that I see it again I have a completely new respect for it. bravo, job well done....

I dont know what I think of that bronco without the wing things.... or humps or whatever.... looks a lot like a scout now.... but hey it's all gravy

I'm not going to be able to sleep tonight...... I hate it when that happens

JR, there is still no doubt in my mind that you own THE NICEST rig in the country. i am very jealous

-Steve

JR... is there any place I can read more about your bronco.. like specifics and small details the magazines would leave out?
what size are your tires... where did you get your axles and how much were they?? thank you
Joe

There is a lot of info on this board - do a search for JR and/or fatcity Bronco and you will get a lot of specs on that fine EB.

Will you all stop ignoring me and tell me how wide an EB is?:flipoff2:

scoutdude... I dont know the width.... someone will chime in here soon enough

Thanks guys, here is a little bit more information on it.

And BTW, a stock Broco will just squeeze through a 68 inch wide gap.

I love that EB JR! I have a question for you though.

Seems alot of folks are going light weight, smaller/lighter motors, D44's, and 37" tires. Do you feel the stroker, heavy axles, and 42" Swampers make up for the extra weight they add?

I used to dream about SUPER low crawling ability, but now it seems like people are finding out the throttle gets you further.

I have the D60's, Atlas, and I'm trying to decide if I want to use the 5.0L in the trail rig, or go with the 393 stroker I'm building.

What to do!?!?

KingOf_Pain, If you already have the 60s and atlas go Big on the motor. Why not. It's more inertainment.
Super fly-wieght rigs seem to be great for all out compition where the wieght ratio between spotter and vehicle can be closer.
I 'wheel with the fly-wieghts. They get stuck just like the rest of us !

I'm not a big advocate of low gears especailly with an auto. Swapped out a Atlas 4.3 for a 3.0. :)

The fly-weights do better at crawling steep rock ledges, defying gravity like a weightless spider.
The same ledge done with a heavier rig is less graceful, but more entertaining. :D

I am running a 3.0 atlas with my 4L60E behind an LT-1 and LOVE it......

That ius the same one in the Katemcy pictures... it's now owned by Chris Towry, a really good buddy of lee novikoff's... I never understood why Tim cut the "humps" off the front fenders...that's one of my favorite EB signatures.

I here yea. Tim said he did it for more visibility.:rolleyes:
At one point, Tim had leading-link suspension ( like Walker Even's S10) on the front of the purple bronco. It was all tig welded chromo, took for ever to build. He wasn't happy with it though and never tried it outside the shop. Tim cut it all off before any pictures were even taking!

Thats a friend of mine, Chris Holley's '69 Bronco. It was in Petersons about 6 mos ago(?), the article was called 'The Iceman' I think. It's been narrowed 8" down the middle and shortened between the doors 4", plus the rear quarterpanels were dove-tailed. He does compete in UROC and will be in Vernal this weekend for that reason. Its killer both on the trail and in competition, considering it's still a Bronco w/ the Dana 44 and 9" surviving the abuse.
