SRWillis Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 I've found some interesting things here and thought it was time to sign up. Thanks for having me. I have an 81 Bronco I bought and had shipped from Phoenix about 2 1/2 years ago. The PO told me the Big Six had a blown head gasket. I wanted to have it gone through anyhow, but wanted to get it running first. When I did, it didn't sound very good and when it was disassembled a broken piston was found. So I pulled the engine, had it rebuilt, and thankfully when I put it back in it actually drove and stopped! It had the typical roof cracks and I wanted to fix those, so naturally that led to a paint job, all done in my garage. It's not perfect, but it turned out about the way I figured it would. I have a bad ball joint, so the next project is going through the TTB front end. Anyway, lookin' forward to seeing and reading about all your Bullnoses. I'll try posting some pics later.

SRWillis Posted December 1, 2018 Author Share Posted December 1, 2018 Welcome Stan!! Thanks for the welcome gents. Here's a few pics. She's not fancy, and of course it's not done (are they ever?). This pics a little dated. I just put Ford wagon wheels with the trim rings and 31s on it, the 32s were very dry-rotted. Here it is with the newer wheels and tires. The wheels I picked off an 86 F150 at the junk yard and the tires used off Facebook Marketplace. Tires still dirty and the whole thing needs a bath. I wasn't looking for red, but it's growing on me. It had a red interior too, so I changed it up a bit. Here's the Big Six. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1986F150Six Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 Nice Bronco! It looks great. I'd love to have it myself. I like the Edelbrock intake and you have the F.I. exhaust manifolds. If you ever choose to change these out, please contact me. Welcome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
