NP205 installed and ZF notched for shifter rail clearance. Custom bracket fabbed for NP205 side frame mount. Had to shim up the transfer case so the front driveshaft would clear the BC Broncos ZF crossmember.

LOL, yeah the hardest part is getting the paint to dry;)


;D ;D ;D Ok, I do have a serious question though. I noticed you didn't do anything with the inside of the frame rails. Is there any danger of rust creep or rot, or am I being too anal? I have fantasies of taking great pains to coat the inside of my frame when I get to your level, but if it's not necessary.....

We dragged rags soaked in paint through the frame rails of my friend's truck when we painted his frame.

I would love to but short of it getting dipped I don't know how you would go about it. Its going to be garage stored the rest of its life and things look solid now.

Well besides putting on the new rubber I had'nt worked on the bronco since the first week of November. Went hard on it today and got the Passenger side panels put it.

My dad has an old rotisserie that he used for restoring his '69 340 dart gts convertible. I'm going to pick that up next week and start modifying it to work for me. Then it's off to the blasters. Pretty stoked!
