Hey gang, Thanks for those who have posted, I've gotton some great info from ya'll! DownhillManiac99 - What model Sony's do you have and how do they fit? I looked for highgeer's Cerwin's, but I had a hard time finding them. I'm honestly just looking for "Cheap and good" and from what I...

digmy76 - I was wondering the same thing but Ben said "it (MEANING the 8" CONSOLE) should fit is all EBs except those with the extra wide Corbeaus, Beards or others of that style." So that's what I'm going with. He also said that if you run 3 point seat belts, you may need a kit that lifts the...

I wish I could tell you, Jimmyjames. This was well before I purchased my EB so I really didn't pay much attention to what brand they were or where you could get them. I just remember that they were some kind of waterproof speaker (already in a generic box from the factory) that he didn't have to...

Thanks for the reply 72bronco. Nice seats on that beast!!

Gang, This whole Tuffy mass buy has got me pretty excited. I’m already picking up a center console so that I can finally install a stereo in my EB. Since the prices for the Tuffy products are so good I was thinking about purchasing a set of the 6x9 rear speaker boxes too. I have done some...

Gang, I have a softop on my '69 and so far the white is nice and bright and the windows are clear (as they are gonna get). I want to keep it this way so I'm looking for the best way to clean the top. Usually, I Armorall everything but I read that Armorall will actually fog plastic windows so...

Well, the saga is finally over, my truck is fixed :) I went back to Napa and picked up the exact starter that I left as a core return (part number 44-9206), which was for a '76 - '83 Bronco engine. Turns out, the '69 starter (part number 44-9642) I purchased was the wrong starter! I found out...

Thanks for the tips guys, I really hope that the flywheel isn't too bad. I'm going to get the "correct" starter either tonight or tomorrow and see what that does. Hopefully, my flywheel is ok for now but I guess we'll see... :-/

Broncnaz - Thanks for the tips, however, I tested this quite a few times and I found that there should be no more parts inside the housing because I checked it 3 times after I popped the new starter in and out. Also, the flywheel ring gear isn't expensive, it's just going to be a real bear to...

Thanks for the tips, Wildbill... Do you think that driving it would cause problems to the new starter? Meaning, do you think that it could possibly wear the teeth down since it isn't gripping properly on the initial start?

Gang, Over the last few days I have been dealing with a problem which I now know is the starter. However, after replacing the old unit, I'm hearing some crazy whining going on with the new starter. I pulled it 3 times and re-seated it (thinking maybe it wasn't on enough or correctly) and every...

Yikes! Well, good news and bad news. The good news is, the starter was the problem. I got her installed and fired her right up. The bad news is, I'm hearing some crazy whining going on. I pulled the starter 3 times and re-seated it (thinking maybe it wasn't on enough) and every time I started...

Holy GOD, they are a pain in the ass!! I was pulling my hair out trying to take out the top bolt of the starter, there was just NO way to get to it! I went out and purchased some extentions for my sockets and some 90 degree sockets too. I also removed (1 of the 2) the radiator hose that goes...

Gang, For those of you that don’t know I’ve been having some kind of electrical / starter problems. So far, I took the battery in to be tested and charged this AM but found that the battery was right on the money and didn’t need to be charged one bit. I thought I better pull the starter and...

Well, the weather website says it's 41 degrees out and man, do I feel every bit of it! :) So, I checked all of my cable connections and I found that the connection from the starter to the solenoid was very loose. I tightened her up and tried to fire her on but as Rustytruck said, there isn't...

... just another person interested in a mass buy.

Well, I just tested my EB and found that when the key was turned over, the "CLICK" happened and the lights simply went out. Now, Rustytruck, I do thank you very much for your in depth post, it helped tremedously but I really think that the battery/alternator is the least of my problems. However...

Gang, Here's what I can tell you. This AM I went out to try to see if I could get her to crank and I found that the same thing still happens, "CLICK" and nothing. I located the starter next to the engine block, between the block and the pass. side wheel well, so that's good. I checked my...

Thanks for the tips, gang. As for the jumping, I didn't try it tonight. Ummm.. I hate to say it, but I don't have cables in my truck... :-[ Trust me, I'll be picking up a set here really soon though. I mean, I carry a good amount of tools, why not cables too!? Anyway, I'll see if she fires up...

Gang, Tonight is the night I have been waiting for, the night in which my EB brakes down for the first time. I mean, I’m no fool, I purchased this truck knowing full well that this day would happen (I’m almost glad it came, I finally got it over with! Ha ha). Either way, I got it towed (thanks...
