Details

This custom 1970 Gen 1 Ford Bronco 4x4 nicknamed 'Goose' recently has a full custom frame-off build. Goose was displayed at the 2022 SEMA Show featuring Precision Replacement Parts' newest product line of seals specifically designed for classic Broncos. Goose was the result of a co-collaboration between Tre5 Customs, IKandy Paintworks and Paradise Customs. With over 1,400 hours spent on fabrication, body and paintwork, the craftsmanship is of the highest tier. The power plant consists of a Gen 3 5.0-liter Coyote crate engine mated to a Ford 10-speed (10R80) automatic transmission with an Atlas twin stick dual-range transfer case. Everything in the engine bay, from the custom-made cold-air intake to the remote oil reservoir, was designed to work seamlessly with every detail from the engine performance to the aesthetic appearance that accompanies all Tre5 and IKandy Paintworks builds. Additional features include ceramic-coated headers that mate up to the custom Borla stainless-steel exhaust that provides the head-turning notes upon cold start and outstanding acceleration. The total 5.5-inch lift comes from the 2-inch body lift with an 11-spring 3.5-inch suspension lift. The lift, along with the James Duff T-Rex radius arms, provides the required room needed for the 35-inch Mickey Thompson AT tires wrapped around U.S. Mags slotted Indy polished aluminum 17x9, 5x5.5 wheels. The wheels are then mounted to a Dana 44 differential up front with a Ford 9-inch rear end sporting 4.10 gears and 31-spline axles, along with a Truetrac limited slip differential. Slotted disc brakes are on all four corners with a Wilwood master cylinder and booster to ensure proper stopping performance. To handle the larger tires, it required a significant horsepower increase, and the added height power steering was a must, as were the AMP power steps. The exterior was painted with what is being described as an elevated Sea Foam Green with the white painted stripe embedded seamlessly into the paint, matching the white hardtop and fully wraparound red-accented pinstriping. To keep with the color scheme, the interior custom roll cage was painted to match the top, when the weather demands driving with the top removed. The hardtop was fabricated to have four billet retractable lifting points, which, when paired with the Bluetooth Garage Smart winch system, lifts and stores the top without any need for tools, and requires only minutes to go from hardtop on to hardtop off. **TITLE IN TRANSIT**
