Here is a shot with Bigfoot 1 playing in the Michigan sand dunes. I guess it is in the early 80’s. Anyone have any information?

Storm Warning Monster Truck Photos & Information

Last month, we posted an article asking for information on the Storm Warning monster truck. Ron Bulson, owner and builder of Storm Warning, contacted us with some information and photos of the truck in its prime.
This is my second truck. The first was called Instigator a 1979 Ford Bronco. We started building Storm Warning in 1991. I ran the truck until 1996. I sold it to John Seasock in 1996 an he renamed it Sudden Impact. I mostly ran on the east coast an Canada. The truck was a tubular frame with extra long leaf springs with four shocks on each side. Rockwell 106 axles with 20 ton planetary knuckles with disc brakes. Front and rear steer, Goodyear 66 inch tires. The engine was a 1971 429 cobra jet bored and stroked to a 514. Tunnel ram with two predator carburetors back by a C6 transmission to a profab transfer case. A 1992 fiberglass body. The truck worked real well. The truck landed with no bounce and was quick because of it light weight. I’ll get some more picture to you soon.

More Barn Find Bronco Camper Photos

I am really interested in this camper. All of the Bronco campers that I have seen so far have been the popup variety from Four Wheel Campers. The winch on this unit is a bit of an oddball as well. Apparently, it is a vintage Black and Decker winch and it does work! There is a controller mounted under the dash for it. The early Bronco also has a speaker control mounted under the dash for the truck radio to go to the camper. So, have you seen a Bronco camper like this or a Black & Decker winch?

Barn Find 1966 Ford Bronco With Camper For Sale!

Those of you that have been reading Off Road Action for a while will recall the early 1966 to 1977 Ford Bronco with Four Wheel Camper poptop camper articles that we did over the summer. We found this barn find 1966 Ford Bronco with a non pop top camper. Finding an early bronco that has uncut rear wheel wells and only 55,000 original miles is a bit of rarity, but finding one that also has a camper on the back is unheard of! We have emailed the owner asking for larger photos as well as a few camper interior shots. We are also interested in the different styling of the winch that is mounted on the front bumper. Frankly, someone needs to purchase this and restore it. We will even give the new owner a place on the website to document the restoration! Will you be the new owner?

Baby Blue 1966 Ford Bronco For Sale

This baby blue uncut 1966 Ford Bronco needs a little work here and there, but overall is in pretty good shape. As per the photos on the ebay ad, there is some surface rust here and there, but when you consider that the early Bronco is 44 years old, it is in pretty damn good shape for an unrestored vehicle.

Survivor 1969 Ford Bronco For Sale

At first thought, $6000 for this 1969 Ford Bronco posted on Classic Broncos.com may seem like a lot. After all, it is just an old, stock, early Bronco. However, this changes when you look at the photos. When is the last time that you saw a rust free early Bronco that was not either restored or modified? This is a great start for somebody looking to start slowly restoring an uncut classic Bronco. There is a lot of new stock replacement parts, like ignition and brake parts. Of course, as with any vehicle of this age, there is some dents and scrapes. Still, I think it is a great deal. What do you think?
