92 Bronco SAS

Here is the build of my 92 Bronco. I felt my 96 was to nice and was holding me back from doing some serious rock climbing so I bought the 92 to take me where I wouldn't take the 96.
In the first pic are the only real good parts, the lift kit which is coming off and the wheels and tires. The new build will have have 2.5" chevy super lift springs and 39.5 x 16.5 x 16 Pitbull Rockers.
Here is a list of mods to be done:
Fix oil leaks and tune up. It runs like crap and leaks 1 litre of oil every 10 minutes.
Repair wheel tubs and floor
Raise the fuel tank
Saginaw swap and maybe hydroboost
Swapping in c6, np208
SAS 79 hp d60, and 14 bolt rear (if I don't find a 10.25)

Here is a pic of where I am going to start

Re: 92 Bronco SAS

Removing and grinding of the rivets that hold on the old coil buckets.
The bucket finally gone

Next we removed the old 8.8 and springs

Here is my buddy Tom grinding off the old spring hanger. I have some Sky manufacturing shackles on the way.

All the factory hangers are now gone and the rust cleaned off

I also swapped in a F-350 brake booster and master cylinder

Re: 92 Bronco SAS

Removed the old transmission and swapped in the c6. BTW the factory crossmember won't clear the front driveshaft if you plan on having any flex at all.

The starting point of the new crossmember

Doing some cutting and tacking everything in place

adding some gussets, capping everything and finish welding

Alittle paint

Bolted into place, tranny now resting on the new mount



Still have to get something right under the transfer case and support the motor crossmember.

Re: 92 Bronco SAS

I finished the crossmember/Skidplate , I lengthed the back bar for more support and fastened everything with grade 8 bolts. I finished installing the shifter and linkage for the c6. I also installed a shifter for the t-case thanks to a old broken power bar I got from my grandfather years ago.

My axles in the shop


Finished crossmember


New Shifters in place

Re: 92 Bronco SAS

Here I just got the front of the truck on the ground. I still have to take everything apart once I confirm everything is straight. I am going to round off the ends of the hangers and weld a 1" square support 1/2 way down. Also everything will have to be welded in for good and painted. It looks like the truck will have approx 10" of lift. The tires on it are 39.5 x 16.5 Pitbull Rockers.
Here are a few pics:

Getting leafs into place

Had to make a top spring plate

Welded 1/4" plate around for strength

Springs in place

Dana 60 finally under the truck


Finally some pics with the tires on and sitting on the ground

Re: 92 Bronco SAS

I finished installing the 14 bolt and hanging the rear springs. I also decided to move the rear axle 6" to the rear. I still have to figure out how I will finish the panels to make this look right. Worse case the old recip saw will make enough room to stuff the 40s.
Here are the pics:
Sky Manufacturing shackles

rear installed

It has been a long time coming but it is finally on the ground


Just to give you an idea on the height, Carrie is 5'4"

Re: 92 Bronco SAS

I have to start finishishing the front but in order to do that I have to mock up the front complete so everything will go together. I really wanted to get a bumper on this now because if I wait it won't get done. So first I had to extend the front frame rails out approx. 6" in order to install the winch. From there I could start building the bumper.

Here are some pics of the bumper build:

Winch mounted and lower bar bent


Notching down bars


Top bar in place


Top hoop with supports


Finished the sides with .25" 2x3


And a few pics of the finished bumper

Re: 92 Bronco SAS

Here are some close ups of the front end. The steering still has to be figured out. The pics are just a temporary set up for moving it around.




Here is where the 2x4 is welded to the factory frame and filled in around the crumble zone

Re: 92 Bronco SAS

The bronco is making some progress. The truck needed some major attention in the rear. The tubs and quarter panels are rotten. I couldn't get replacement tubs so I decided to build my own and build them bigger than factory. I also moved them towards the back because the rear axle is moved approx 6" towards the rear. My new quarters will also be moved back. Here are some pics:
A factory tub

After removing all the rust


The start of my 37" by 13" tub

Traced out a side and cut it out

The side welded on and measurements for where it meets the inner fender

Then just connect the dots and cut

I am also raising the gas tank so I have to lay this out at the same time

I am going to use the factory filler neck and cap and use a after market cover outside

A little more welding, grinding, seam filled and then paint

Re: 92 Bronco SAS

Replacing the rear quarter, first off cut off the old rotten fender and clean up the new inner fender. Keep in mind the new quarter is moved back:

inner fender trimmed

Cleaned up seam sealed and painted

New quarter tacked on

The old quarter

And the new
