This one-owner vehicle from North Carolina was rebuilt by Lee Winstead at Big Boyz Custom Rods and Restoration in Hattiesburg, MS. It bears the original 351W engine block, completely rebuilt to include factory blue Ford paint. Engine rebuild includes Trick Flow 11R heads, custom pushrods, Stage 2 Trick Flow cam, Track Heat intake, oversized fuel injectors, and a fuel pressure regulator. The vehicle was dyno-tuned with three programs by JMS in Lucedale, MS. The new Stage 5 E4OD transmission is controlled with kevlar clutches and a 2600 stall torque converter. Ceramic headers lead to Gibson stainless exhaust, with true duals to the muffler where they join for one single outlet. Restomod build includes all new factory air conditioning setup (134A), and new water pump, starter, alternator, aluminum radiator, heater core, battery with disconnect, fuel pump and fuel tank. Oil was recently changed in September 2023 to Shaeffer Oil.

The factory transfer case was newly rebuilt, and works alongside manual locking hubs, new 3.75 gears throughout, and disc brake conversion with F250 master cylinder. Custom steel wheel spacers accentuate the 10-ply X-Comp Gladiator tires on 20″ IONS wheels. This truck features air ride suspension to the rear axle with onboard air compressor and dash switches and gauges for manual adjustments. This rig towers above with a 3″ Skyjacker lift supported by Bilstein shocks.

The interior of this beauty was completely gutted down to bare metal, and given a kevlar coating before being recovered in custom carpet. Windows were re-tinted and glossed to original factory plastic. This interior features many restomod upgrades such as custom gauges, a 2018 Ford Raptor steering wheel, a 2006 Ford Expedition console with integrated console vault, custom floormats, new headliner, sunshades, custom grab handles, and an all-new stereo system with backup camera. Two six-inch Bazooka subwoofers are controlled by a stereo unit capable of AM radio, FM radio, Apple CarPlay, XM Radio, handsfree calling. The custom heavy-duty sliding rear rack is built with Kevlar-coated gun holders. The original seats are fully functional and the new upholstery features heat.

The cherry on top of this build is the stunning two-tone allover paint with all new factory gaskets and plastic moulding. The top is removable but has not been removed since the build was complete. The front end comes to life with halo lights, LED fog lights, LED light bar, and other miscellaneous LED lights, accentuating the custom grill. Fender flares, fabricated nerf bars and a receiver hitch also add to the aesthetic of this build. Modern technology is also present in the discrete, hidden keyless entry keypad.

This Bronco is a great daily driver, but has won trophies at every car show it has entered. Truck has never been mudding or off-roading. Restoration work was completed in July of 2019, and the truck has been garage-kept and covered since then, earning only 6,500 miles on the odometer since completion.
