    I need a Bronco again and let's talk upgrades

    Long time no see fellas! So I just started watching Longmire, and I miss my Bronco and then today I saw a beautiful late model Bronco in mint condition. It is a sign that I need another one.  The Bronco gods have spoken. Which got me thinking, right now I am driving a 79 Fiat Spider and i have...

    Starter went start, now can't stop

    Got ya....When I turn the key to start the solenoid will either keep the starter starting or it will not start at all and the solenoid has a burnt plastic smell to it. No clue on the fuseable link.

    Starter went start, now can't stop

    It either holds the contact in or it will not engage and become hot.

    Starter went start, now can't stop

    Ok, so the problem went away and now it has come back with a vengeance. I have a new starter and I keep burning up the solenoid. I am at my wits end and frankly am getting ready to set the truck on fire. I have thought about just changing the wiring and go with a more modern starter system. Is...

    Wiring Harness

    Hey y'all, Does anyone know where I can get a wiring harness for an 84 302? It seems no one makes one, but I want to be sure. If I can't get one, how readily available are parts to make one? Reason I am asking is my wires are old and brittle, and I am looking to replace them. Thanks Edit: I...

    Does anyone know of a good paint shop?

    I would talk to owners of classic cars at the next show. If anyone would know it would be them.

    Hubs and Gas Tank

    @ SeaBronc.... When I rebuilt my NP 208 I replaced all of the u-joints on the drive shaft, and the drive shaft itself. Last summer I replaced the pads, and rotors. When I pull off the wheels, I will check them again. Change the bearings, stabilizers bushings, ball joints, and the u joints on...

    Hubs and Gas Tank

    How do you know when your hubs need to be replaced? I am pulling my tires of and replacing the tie rods, balI joints, and u joints. Need to know what to look for. How do I tell what size my tank is? Thanks, Chris 84 Ford Bronco 302

    Resto Mod?

    @miesk5....It isn't that my A/C doesn't get cold, it is that it can't keep up during the day with the Louisiana heat. Left a thermostat in one time and I got a reading of 210. I did change the blower motor, and that helped some. I think some good tint will help. The good news is my truck was...

    Resto Mod?

    Miesk5, I will keep touch when I start the project. It won't be till after the fall semester. Still thinking of keeping the 302 just because of the ease to work on. Time will tell. @Billy Bob, I don't like to work on cars. Would prefer to work on vintage motorcycles instead. This is just a way...

    Resto Mod?

    Thanks   I talked to a guy in Houston who does Restomods....we talked about swapping my engine for a newer ford engine. I told him what I wanted. Which is a brand new truck that I feel safe traveling in. Then I told him how much the A/C sucks in the summer. So we came up with either keeping...

    Resto Mod?

    Hey fellows. I have some questions. 1) What is the benefits to converting a Bronco to the Cummins diesel? Besides towing, I can't see any advantages. Better fuel mileage is offset with higher fuel price. Has anyone actually done this, and do you feel it was worth the process? 2) What is the...
