Most fasteners had to be cut off to get the front clip off. The core support and inner fenders are bad enough that I'm considering cutting all that out and building a tubular core support and adding inner fenders later.

Identical second row center seats from two different 04-ish Expeditions. Paid $35 out the gate at Pick-n-Pull for the pair. Not the sexiest things but the integrated shoulder belts are helpful and they fold flat when the boys aren't with me.

Dana 60 from a 2005 F250 I bought from the Bronco seller. Pure beef and just gigantic. Won't even fit between the trailer rails so I'll have to cut it down before it can end up under this Bronco but I scored a Dana 44 that will work for now.

Paid $500 for this running/driving early 97 Explorer 5.0 AWD. After selling the rear axle and scrapping the rest, I have a nice mass air EFI GT40 engine and overdrive automatic for about $75.

Originally an inline 6, swapped to an 80 model 302 of some sort. Mounts are collapsed and the crank pulley is resting on the cross member.
