Dorothy

Our client contacted us through Facebook in the search for a Bronco to build. We found the donor in Kentucky and it all started from there. The truck carried the affectionate name of “Basket Case” for some time as that is exactly how it was received, in baskets. Our client had a vision and we turned it into a reality. Along with that transformation was a mare suitable name. Since the bronco will be calling Kansas home, and we knew it wanted to go home, I couldn't think of a more fitting name than the character Dorothy from the Wizard Of Oz.

This Bronco did some traveling with us in its early stages as our client wanted a 4 link suspension system and I would only allow one name to be on that suspension, James Duff. The chassis was stripped and blasted bare and sent off to James Duff in Knoxville, TN to get the first Dual Sport 4 link installed. We collaborated on what it is we wanted and the crew at James Duff delivered.

With the desire for torque, a 5 speed manual transmission, uncut fenders, 33” tires filled a list of some dream components to pull it all off. The truck is sporting a new CFB body finished in Ford Blue Jeans Metallic paint with Wimbledon White Accents. The wheels are custom 17” steel wheels wrapped in 33” tall Toyo Open Country AT/III Tires. It sports Wilwood front brakes and Currie rear disk. Helping to bring some whoa to the truck is a James Duff Exclusive Hydratech Power Booster and Wilwood Master Cylinder. The clutch master cylinder and slave are matching Wilwood products as well.
