U13 Bronco

[BH107]

National Spring in El Cajon, CA.

The owners of that Bronco really pushed the limits of the rules for that class. It still has steel Bronco fenders, functional four wheel drive, and leaf springs in the back. The front end is Twin Traction Beam from a later model Bronco, and the rear has a 3 link and leaf springs with shackles on both ends. The rear suspension cycles 20" of controlled and usable travel.

Now if I could only talk them into putting an aluminum FE in it!

Im also building two 41 WILLYS all steel gassers , one FE POWERED,and the other one MILODON hemi powered.The chassie for the hemi car spent 3 years at Don Waldrens shop building to my business partners design.Now I have made a copy of that localy in 3 months,this one is the one that is FE powered with a chevy 4 spd and olds rear.Right now im ready to do the front suspention so I would like to have you do the front springs.Im having trouble loading pictures right now,i guess I have old timers ,but all is cool I will overcome the technical issues with the inter net.

Sorry I haven't been able to help with the pictures, been pretty tied up lately.  Have you tried to set up a Photobucket account to put your pictures online?  There are some directions on how to do this in the forum rules and information thread, here:

That's probably the easiest way to get full sized pictures on this message board - Jay

This pic from the 70s has been floating around the net a long time it belonged to a guy in WA State

I'll bet that "WA state" guy was Jim Green, a SOHC expert form long ago who had many crates of new Cammer's from the old Holman-Moody warehouse closing days when Ford dropped out of racing. Green still owns the Assassin AA/FD with a blown Cammer used at NHRA cacklefest events and I'm told it does sound different from the Hemi Chryslers!

The 427 sohc bronco belongs to Lonnie Sargent of Woodland WA he still has it i've heard.  the u13 Broncos are not a big a seller fully restored they wont pull more then $20.000  however the holmen moody Stroppe built broncos dubbed the Baja Bronco are priced right up there with the muscle cars.
