Hello guys my name is Don and I'm in Katy, Tx. I had to sell my '75 Bronco Crawler
back in the spring of last year due to getting laid off and divorced, but I'm happy to say that I just bought another EB last week to start building for the 2016 wheelin' season. This one's a 1971 model (with a VIN plate in the glovebox!!!)
It's got a 302 with a 3 speed column shifter (cant get 1st and reverse to engage at the column, only in the engine bay) and a d20 with the D44/9". I have no idea what this front axle came out of, but its got spring perches under the axle. The front suspension is..... interesting. I see where the guy was going with the Wishbone but seriously, all bushings? Also like how the oil pan acts as the bumpstop. I'm going to convert this to a normal 3 link with a track bar with the upper link on the passenger side. at least all the frame brackets are in place already.
