Happy New Year to all from your wacky Texas Bullnose friends!

Hoping 2022 brings you satisfaction and happy wrenching.

2 of these trucks are running, the other 2 are WIP.

Spartacus might be the most curious, he's a 97 F350 7.3 PSD getting a Bully front clip and bed.

Happy New Years!!! :nabble_anim_jump:

Do we need to capture these pics?

I would vote yes.

On my side, I did. Always interesting to document "real original" looks.

As an example, I am pretty sure Big Brother original rear bumper was much smaller that the new ones available on the market today. This could explain why my hitch is bit too much far under the bumper.

I am curious about the mirrors... I bought new ones for BigBrother, and installed them. But I was not satisfied, since the OEM ones were not "angled shape", but more "rounded". I found very nice used ones and plan to change them next spring.

This «OEM» Bronco has the angled shaped mirrors... Were they changed (I suspect they were), or are these the real original ones?

The angular mirrors were used 1980-81, and the rounded “aero” mirrors were introduced in 1982. You can see that on the Parts List tab on the page at Documentation/Exterior/Exterior Mirrors.
