Bronco Gurus,
I'm hoping for some guidance. I recently brought my 1969 bronco to our local mechanic (who we trust) and asked him to check the fuel gauge that wasn't working anymore. I also asked him to check the fluids etc and let me know how everything looked. He came back with a list of issues he suggested we get fixed, but he said it would be best if I found someone with experience doing this type of work as his team doesn't work on many old Broncos.
My situation is that I have a job that keeps me traveling and 2 small kids that keep me busy at home. Combine that with a basic level of mechanical knowledge, I'm not able to do the work myself.
Any recommendations on where to take this in the North Atlanta area? (I live in Marietta.)
This is what the mechanic suggested we get fixed:
Rear differential pinion seal is leaking.
Right rear axle seal is leaking.
Transfer case is leaking. (The drain plug cannot be removed due to the exhaust routed right over the drain plug. Will need to fix exhaust routing.)
The transmission and/or the front transfer case seal is leaking
Coolant noticed at the plate behind the water pump and around the timing cover.
Wiring and brake line are very close to the exhaust on the driver side where the pipe goes over the axle. The wiring to the fuel tank was stuck to the pipe. It does not appear to be melted, but should be moved. The wiring is close to the exhaust on the driver’s side frame rail.
The clutch fork has been rubbing the header on the driver’s side
Fuel gauge not working since last repair
We had originally been saving to get a family roll cage and soft top put on to replace our hard top. So a place that can do that would be great.
Thank you so much for any advice you can offer!
