    Bed Panel Gap?

    All, I'm getting into cleaning up my '73 that sat for several years and, as I was getting dirt/debris out of the bed area, I noticed a gap between the ben pan and wheel well (see pics below). Just looking at it, I don't see any rust and the metal sounds solid...I plan to eventually get some...

    Too Far to Drive It?

    CB Members, Its been a LONG while since I've been active on here and aim to get back into regular visits, but I'm looking for some input on getting my Bronco moved from storage to my new home. For some background, I moved to the east coast in early 2018 and left my '73 with a family member in...

    CA Front Drum Brakes

    Hey, all. I have a pair of front drums, incomplete, and used, but I'm not sure anyone would be interested. If so, PM me and I can send pics. If not, these will be going to scrap in a week. Any best offers will be accepted and trades will be considered. Not sure about shipping as they're pretty...

    CAD Data

    Just testing the waters here, does anyone have any CAD of an EB? If not, would anyone be interested in getting some? I have access to a few 3D scanners and have been considering using my '73 for practice with our new scanner. It scans directly to Solidworks, but can be exported to nearly any...

    Disk Brake Kits

    So, my bronco has been in the repair shop for some major front end repairs after my ex drove it into the back of a work truck :o After a month of having it, the repair shop called and asked about the brakes not responding at all, then offered to have their brake shop check them out. I agreed...

    Towing a Bronco

    Hey, all. This should be a fairly simple question...keyword is SHOULD %) I need my Bronco towed to a shop. AAA wants ~$200 to take it 30 miles, less my free 7 miles. On the otherhand, a buddy has a new TRD-OR Tacoma and offered to tow it if I rented the ~$50 uhaul dolly or trailer (we don't...

    You know that feeling you get when...

    You let your significant other borrow your bronco? Yeah, my girlfriend confirmed those feelings this weekend and plowed my EB into the back of an old Grumman Van. The girlfriend suffered a busted face on the steering wheel, but will be ok (no broken bones or concussions :o ). Unfortunately for...

    Brake question

    Hey all, I just replaced my driver front wheel cylinder today. Problem is that under breaking, the bronco pulls right. Harder right for harder braking. I've bled both sides and replaced hoses about 4 years ago. Neither side shows signs of a leaky or cracking hose. Any thoughts on what this...

    Carb Options/Suggestions

    Hey, all. I have done some searching regarding carburetor size, brands, and other options, but can't seem to find the most clear recommendation. Right now, I have an Edelbrock 1405 (or 1406), which is a 4bbl, between 600 and 650cfm. Its been rebuilt and tuned, but I have never been truly happy...

    The Age-Old HardtopQuestion

    I know this question has been asked thousands of times, but what has everyone done with rusty drip rails? I considered shaving them off, but that just wouldn't look right. Any suggestions? I'm going to use some rust converter, but for the stuff where the damage is too deep, I don't know where...

    C-4 Transmission Pan

    Hey all, I'm sure this has come up before, but what are everyone's thoughts on a deep finned pan for a C-4 that is hooked up to a mildly built 302? The Bronco will have 235/75R15's and will primarily be on the road with some occasional wheeling. My concern is the heat generated during daily...

    2.5" Lift Kit

    Hello All, I am currently looking at a 2.5" lift kit for sale for my '73. The owner has sent pictures and it looks like the rear leafs, front coils, u-bolts, and associated plates. Obviously, I would need some appropriate shocks, but I'm not familiar with what else I would need. Could anyone...

    Reintroduction/Advice?

    Hey all, It's been a few years since I've been on here, so I thought I would reintroduce myself. I've got a '73 Wagon with a mildly built 302, C4, and Dana 44/Ford 9" under all of that. I just graduated with my BS in Mechanical Engineering, so as a first project, I decided to revive the rebuild...
