NV3550. NV4550. ZF S5-42. No, they’re not map coordinates – just a few of the manual transmissions popular for swapping into Early Broncos. Whether to gain a low "crawler" gear for offroad use, an overdrive for highway travel, or for the strength and easy...

This article is about how to convert your stock mechanical linkage clutch to a much improved hydraulic set-up using readily available aftermarket parts. It is a very simple conversion all you will need...

Selecting a new transmission.
It started with when I got the latest Bronco. I didn't want the old 3 speed anymore. I have heard about the NP435, so I got one. I ran along happily with 33's, 4.10's, and the NP435 behind the warmed up 351. It worked...

Following are photos of the popular NP435 4 speed installation. This transmission is a much stronger unit than the original 3 speed found in most early Broncos. 2nd, 3rd and 4th gears are comparable to 1st, 2nd and 3rd gears in the stock 3 speed. However the...

We’ve all had brake problems at one point or another, sometimes even the caliper is needing to be replaced. I’m going to show you how to rebuild one, to save the cost of a rebuilt unit. This is inexpensive, and pretty easy to do. Once you do one...

Is your t-case shifter so sloppy that you can hardly get it into gear? Well I found a cheap and easy fix for this problem. Even if the shifter is still in the truck this should take less than an hour and cost less than $10.00.
Here’s what you need:
1 or 2...

This is my write up for the 3 speed manual and transfer case removal, seal replacement and new gaskets. I recently purchased my '69 bronco and got it on the road. Now that it's on the road after sitting for 15 years or so, some of the gaskets and...

Well, I said I would do a bit of a blow by blow account of the fight to install a 203 so here goes..... Got the Dodge 203 from a salvage yard in WI. Had it shipped to me in TX and saved a bundle still. (really shows the ass of most yards here in...

I had all of this info gathered back when I was doing the fabrication of the suspension and never got around to finishing it and putting it together like this till now. Disclaimer: I am not going to say that this is the best or worst way to build a 4-link rear but...

Below is my 3.5" "universal lift" from about 1987. I call it a "universal lift" because the lift companies sold one lift kit that fit everything from our small Broncos to long bed F-150s with big blocks in them. To even call this a suspension system is a crime...

The F-250 shock tower is one of those great modifications that's both cheap and simple. By replacing your stock shock towers with these taller, heavier units, you'll be able to use longer travel shocks for more articulation. Pricing is around $25-35 for the...

When changing those front springs, you will probably encounter a small problem. This is a simple way to install the bolts back into the retainer. The bolt on top of the spring tower is easy to start. The one on the side is a little more difficult...

This is my write up for the Stone Crusher steering system. This system replaces the inferior stock tie rod and drag link set up with with stronger components that can handle the modern uses of our modified Broncos...especially for those who are running and...
Power steering on any early Bronco is a nice luxury. Power steering on an early Bronco with 33" or larger tires is a definite necessity. Most Bronco owners, (unless they're lucky enough to have stock power steering) convert over to power steering in one form or another. Whether it be a stock...

After adding my front cage, I realized the glove box was going to need to be modified in order to be of any use. After searching all over the net and looking at all the mods that people have done, I was surprised at how complicated people had made this project...
Installing a front roll cage was actually quite a bit more complicated and thought intensive than simply fitting some pre-bent tubes together and welding them in place. It was all the work done to make room for the cage that took the most time. Clearance becomes a premium when deciding exactly...

The heat exchanger: I found this at a refrigeration supply store. It is called a ½ ton coaxial coil exchanger. It is a tube in tube design and is very affective. In fact, it may be too good. The water coming out of my showerhead is pushing 112 degrees...
