I
bought my truck mid last year after looking at about 20 Australian delivery bronco's. Most of them were
heaps or they wanted too much for them. I was lucky enough to come across mine while looking for
parts for my friends '73 F-100 (wild truck in its self, twin turbo 460 with
airbag suspension). Since buying mine have slowly started fixing things up,
a little rough but a great truck all the same. Is fitted with 400M motor and
C6 trans with 4/11 gears in the rear. From what I can gather in came from
Missouri in about '89 and was converted to right hand drive shortly after.
Have already done a few trips in it and it certainly gets some looks, especially from
Australian Bronco owners who cant work out what the heck it is (lol). |

John Thomas's 1978 Bronco, Bartlett, TN
My name is John Thomas. I’m 17 and live in Bartlett, TN (outside of Memphis, TN) in the USA. Most of the work done to the Bronco was done by me with some help by my brother and friends. It has the FORD 351M/400 engine, DYNOMAX 1-3/4 inch primary - long tube headers, 2-1/2 dual exhaust with FLOWMASTERS, an MSD “Blaster” ignition and “Blaster 2” coil going through ACCEL 8.8 mm race wires. Feeding fuel to that spark is a WEIAND 8010 dual plane manifold, HOLLEY Street Avenger 670 carb, 2” “Swirl-Torque” carb spacer, a SUMMIT velocity stack air filter and a functional 4” cowl hood. The transmission is a C6 automatic with a TCI “Saturday Night Special” 2200 stall converter sending power through a rebuilt NP205. I’ve still got the standard axles (DANA 44 and 9”) with the stock 350’s in them. It has PROCOMP 6” suspension, EAGLE 589s and 35x12.50 PROCOMP MTs. I’ve got a few after marked gauges such as a tach and water gauge from AUTOMETER. I put some cheap spray-on bed liner on the floorboard and I have a JVC CD player that only works if I hit the right size pothole. Future improvements include: 456 gears, rear spool, front OX locker, a 3” body lift, some 15x10 chrome DAYTONA wheels and 38” gumbo mudders, a good size cam, and to top it all off some 1.7 roller rockers. You may notice that I like the colors “hot green”, “hot orange” and “hot blue”. You will see them under the hood and under the frame. Hey, it’s a black truck...anything goes!
