How Much Does it Cost to Build an Early Bronco | Not so Cheap Build Episode 1

I often get questions about how much I spent building the Bronco I have now. Here, I talk about (not in detail) how much I spent on that build as well as go over roughly how much I am going to spend on the next build.
Follow me on this adventure. I can use some inspiration and motivation on this build!

Cost me 14k to restore a 74 Chevy truck. Sold it for 7k in 04. I found it easier to assume every question about my truck was a curiosity based on them actually being impressed by my work. Your rig is awesome! Hope to get my Bronco on the road soon. 😅

Thanks! I found working on rigs that the money I spend on the rigs I build to keep I never get back when I sell them. I make a little bit of cash building Jeeps to sell but still I get people throwing me a blue book value. I just move on to the next buyer that understand there will never be a blue book value for lift kits, rims, tires, and mechanical work. I'm excited for you and your Bronco! Please update whenever you get it running!

I still love those seats! Looking forward to watching you on your new build.

[@StylishGreaseMonkey]

Thanks for your continued support! I’ll keep up with the updates.

100% correct! I love working on my 72 Bronco. Every step in the process is a small accomplishment that’s very rewarding. Aloha my man.

[@StylishGreaseMonkey]

Awesome!!!

@@StylishGreaseMonkey Surviving you know Friend! Been with you since you first decided to grow. Am glad you did. 🧔

[@jaquima36]

You have hit it running! Don’t burn out but it is great to see your progress on your projects

[@StylishGreaseMonkey]

Thanks and I’m just enjoying the second wind!! I’ll try to take it easy.

What did the bench seat in the red bronco come out of? Looks awesome!!!

[@StylishGreaseMonkey]

It's the back seat of a Chevy Traverse. Thanks, love the classic Broncos!

[@augiedogie88]

Nice job.👍 Tell me about the bench seat .

[@StylishGreaseMonkey]

Hey thanks! It came from a newer Chevy Traverse. It was too high initially so I had to modify the mounts and the custom transmission tunnel I made. It’s pretty comfortable on longer rides. It can also be adjusted back and front. Not sure if you’re seeing my new build vids. I will be using an aftermarket low back seats from rugged ridge. I’ve used those in my CJ7 and scout before and they are really good. Easy to clean.

I am in the middle of a build as well and can’t wait to get it finished. Do you mind sharing the size wheel and tire you went with? It looks great!

[@StylishGreaseMonkey]

Nice and good luck to you! I ended up using a 36x14x16.5 TSL Boggers and 16.5x12 inch Welds (5x5.5 bolt pattern) wheels. I’m planning on changing this setup to a 37 inch Toyo MT on 17 inch wheels soon. I like this current setup but it is obsolete. As far as the current project I have, I will be running the BFG K02 33x12.5x15 on 15x10 steelies. Hope this helps!
