    Flat towing

    a lesson I learned from flat towing my bronco is that it eventually destroyed the transfer case rear output shaft bearing and that froze the drive shaft from turning. I couldn't move the bronco at all. And of course this happened in the middle of nowhere on what was intended to be day one of a...

    gas leaking - new sender unit

    I don't know the answer to your question, but wonder why you''d need to drop the tank to install a sender. I recently did that on my 70 Bronco with the tank in place.

    Door hinge pins

    triracer67 I tried to respond directly to you via pm, but don't think it worked. I don't know the size of the pins I used, but take an old pin, or even the hinge itself to a parts store and they can measure and tell you what you need. That's what I did. Napa had a variety of pins of...

    Door hinge pins

    I put new pins in my '70 but went the cheap way. I removed the hinges, one at a time, used a hammer and punch to drive the pins out. Went to Napa and bought new pins that are 1/16 in. larger diameter Drilled out the hinge to fit the new pins, lubricated the pins and drove them into the hinge...

    electric power steering

    EP872 What you describe is the set up I'm curious about. What did it cost to do on the mustang? Any reason it wouldn't work on a bronco? Seems to me it would.

    Flat Tow Question AGSIN!😂

    I've flat towed my 70 bronco at least 15K miles over the years without issues. It's standard trans and I always put the transfer case in neutral. I tow it at freeway speeds (60 or more). Maybe I've just been lucky???

    Forgot to mention that when the pan is lowered you can also reach in and unbolt the pick up tube.

    replacing oil pump

    I found what for me was an easier way to remove the oil pan on my 70 bronco, 302, and no lift. I removed all the bolts on the pan, dropped it as far as it would go and that left plenty of room to reach in and remove the old pump. Once unbolted, I let the pump drop into the pan and then had room...

    Need engine advice in Maryland

    you can get a rebuilt/remanufactured long block surprisingly cheap and with a good warranty if you check around. Last year I bought one for $1250. THey did need a core but it could be in any condition (mine was not rebuildable but they accepted it). I did the work myself. A direct replacement...

    Rock auto parts

    I've had good luck with Rock Auto with several purchases, most recently a rebuilt carb for my Bronco. The price was much better than any other I found and ( year or so later) still running great.

    Door Hinges, whose are best?

    I assume the issue/problem is loose hinges due to wear? If so, what I did is drill out the hinges to 1/32 nd oversize (9/32 I think it was) then drive in new pins of that size that I got a NAPA. The result was very good----tight hinges and no more door sag. Also very little work or time to do...

    Transmission repair advise please

    My 70 with original 3 speed and hurst on the floor shifts very smoothly and always has for the 25 + yrs I've had it. Early on in my ownership I did replace the shift rod bushings to tighten things up, but that's it...I run 80-90 weight. I guess my point is that properly adjusted linkage, the...
