    Teraflex bumper

    Im going to go back to my original thought and say no they wont fit. I just looked at some pics of them and I think from the shapes they would be tough to get to work.

    Teraflex bumper

    It wont fit without special mounting brackets, im a bodyman and I change quite a lot of stock jeep bumpers and the mounting is completely different. Now if they sold a bracket that could bolt to the end of the bronco frame rails duplicating the jeep mounting then maybe. Youd also have to...

    New Timing Cover

    The hole is for a dipstick tube, some are in the timing cover, some in the block and some in the oil pan. I couldnt tell you what years or engines these diff locations apply to. Could be for a 289-302-or 351 from various years. Im going to go out on a limb here and say the oil is coming from...

    Rear Axle stuck, any ideas?

    Try not to use a very coarse grit. Regular sandpapers when you hit metal with them they become almost useless, even autobody paper. Try to get some fine grit emery cloth like 220 or finer, it lasts a bit longer and is a better shape for the job.

    Rear Axle stuck, any ideas?

    When I pulled mine apart one of the axles was stuck also. Long story short, the previous owner abused it a bit as a snowplow and didnt maintain it so the seal went and all the oil came out then filled up a bit with water. The bearing then blew, fused itself to the axle tube by heat and rust. I...

    Checking rear main seal

    I have an 88 5.0 EFI in mine and i changed my rear man without unbolting anything. It was a one piece seal I pried out (carefully of course) and used a seal/bearing installer to push the new one in. If yours is the same you'll need either the engine out or the tranny out to access. I dont have...

    Shorty headers

    I have the 5.0 sitting in my bronco atm but i tossed my shorties because they were trashed so i cant help too much but here is a pic of mine with hydro clutch bolted to the bellhousing and an nv3550 trans. Looks like there is room in between the slave cylindar and the firewall for the exhaust...

    Sitting for 10 yrs cleaning gas tanks

    i know there is a por-15 fuel repair system. I dont know what stores in the States sells por-15 products but oyu can go to por-15.com and see the products. Almost any store that repairs or rebuilds radiators could prob dip the tanks and re-seal them as well...

    1974 Rebuild

    Its relativley cheap to get the frames sandblasted then you can inspect them for cracks, holes and weak spots. If they are good its easy to paint some por-15 or get one powdercoated. I got my frame and front and rear diffs sandblasted for $150 then got them to powdercoat the frame for an extra...

    welding equipment ideas

    Im a 10 year bodyman and this is true if your trying to section out a panel like doing a butt weld or an overlap on say the 1/4 body line heat warping is a problem. When it comes to these old broncos drilling out spot welds and spot welding new panels back in will not warp the panels at all...

    Converted 66-67 doors to 68-77

    When I bought my bronco it was advertised as a 68, i didnt know enough at that time to see the tell tales that would have informed me otherwise. It was a 69 frame, 66 or 67 body with a 68 regi. None of this mattered to me because im building a resto mod that is far from stock. I didnt realize at...
