Around 40 years. A customer that I became friends with was involved with club racing sand drags and timed obstacle/short course. Club member let me race his truck and I was hooked. I bought and built my first before the next years race season! I've had a dozen over the years, all except a 6G...

Thanks and ... Pick me!

Pm sent.

I'll be gone this afternoon, but I'll get some pics this evening. I can also poke around under my 2 j-shift trucks and maybe I can tell which t-case shifter this one's made for. Do you know how to tell?

I have a trans/t-case that has the shifter and rods, but lever is gone and no t-case shifter on it. Apparently the rods are different between J- and T-shift t-case (for clearance) and I don't know how to tell the difference by looking at the t-case. Might be half your battle if it will help!

Short wheelbase = "tail wagging the dog" when towing. Exactly what happened in my situation.

2 words... Please Don't. Seriously, I had a 4000# boat/trailer try to kill me in a panic situation while towing with a full size '86 Bronco which was far more capable than an EB. It was traded for an F-250 before the end of that summer.

I'm in the same spot with one I'm reviving. I've just been watching the usual auction and sale sites for comparable rigs and see what happens! I have a pretty good idea where I'm at now after watching for a few months.

I have a '77 Ranger tailgate in my loft, but what I could see from the floor they would definitely need work. Chrome looks dull, maybe pitted. All I can guarantee is they're original! I can move some stuff and get a better look, let me know if you're interested. Randy

Nice! Did 32 years myself, retired now.

New Dorman front studs for '75 with D44 and cast drums. p/n 610-148 verified correct listing. These studs have a .622 spline and .602 shoulder. My hubs/drums have .590 holes so no way those are working. Don't know if Dorman can help, first response from them was a different p/n (610-252) but I...

LOL! That's exactly why my 73's resurrection (sitting since '91) began with a complete new brake system!

Timely post, great advice given. I'm working on my '73 with 62k miles that's been parked (inside and dry) for 31 years. Yup, my very own barn find! I started with brakes (froze up pedal and front wheels), then I'll be right where you are with a cheap borescope I just bought. And some fogging...

Guess what I'm doing to my 73 that's been sitting for 30+ years? Didn't even pop the lid and look, just bought new everything between the pedal and the drums!
