Thanks Guys! Im really diggin this thing. A buddy of mine helped me yank the top off yesterday. I think it may be the first time its ever been off but I'm not 100%. Two bolts, one on each side were missing washers on the bottom side which is the only reason for me to think maybe it had come off in the past.

I'll get some pics soon!

Really love the patina on this truck! Wish you would've sold it to me :)

Enjoy that master cylinder while it still looks pretty, they don't seem to stay that way long.

Let's see some pics with that top off!

Haha... There have been a couple times where I thought that maybe I should have sold it to you. It was all worth it once I took it down the road and she felt solid for the first time.

I painted my master. I think I didn't get it clean enough beforehand tho because it is starting to peel slightly on the far end...

I just took a look and it may have had a little brake fluid seep out from the seal since the master is angled downward so much...

Took the Bronco for a 200+ mile trip yesterday. 60 or so of those miles were on some rough and bumpy gravel roads in Uhwarrie National Forest. Some of you may know where I am talking about. I didn't get into trying anything hardcore but I did have to put it in 4wd for a fairly steep hill climb with lots of loose gravel. The trip was good but I noticed a few small issued that I need to get dialed in on the truck. Oh and these are the first photos with the new tires...

Also, I became a contributor to be able to upload files directly from here. It seems to only upload files if I really knock down the resolution a ton which is why they are so unclear.

I think these might be a little clearer...

Looks great! What tires did you go with? I just put new KM2s on mine. Figured now that the KM3s are out, km2s are the new "old school!"

Thanks... I ended up with Super Traxion L78x15s... They were for sale slightly used on here local to me. I love the vintage look of them for sure. They ride slightly rougher than the radials it had but not bad at all.

Got my fuel gauge working properly. It was just a bad connection by the sending unit. Tightened that up and cleaned the ground. Hopefully, it will be good to go now and accurate! haha...

Took it out for a spin to see if the gauge started jumping as I drove down the road again. So far so good! The fog was cool so I took a couple pics...
