Thanks for the input.... Rusty - I like to wear a tie while working on the Bronco. I couldn't figure out what you were talking about then I remembered one of the pics had my shoes in it. LOL I was actually on my way to work one morning and grabbed a quick pic as I was walking out the door...

72 (77) Rebuild Did a few more small items..... Removed (cut out) the passanger side header, starter, transmission cooler lines, transmission dip stick and drained most of the transmission fluid. Found this on my gas tank. I was able to drain all of the gas out. I'm SO glad I did. There...

72 (77) Bronco Rebuild Played around the last couple nights. Took apart a few more parts. Bailed on the pittman arm and disconnect the pittman to a steering rod. Then removed the steering box WITH pittman arm! Also removed the proportioning valve and associated brackets. Made plenty of...

Dang, G' your flying! I need to retire so I can do this full time! Looks good!!

72 (77) Rebuild Ok, I'm back at it. My little brother got married this past weekend and I was busy with the goings on..... So I lost a week of work time and $800. Doh! I ordered a pitman arm puller from Northern and it arrived. Just tried to remove the pitman arm and it didn't fit. First...

OK, I did some homework today and that raised more questions. I looked up a rebuild kit for a 302 and found a bunch. Prices vary ranging from $325 to $450. I also talked to my dad's shade tree mechanic. He's going to charge $600 in labor to rebuild the engine. That's the good news, the bad...

72 (77) Rebuild Well looks like Scoop beat me to the punch! LOL Looks like it has to be a 77 for all the reason Scoop mentions. The glove box indicates it's a 72 but I guess the glove box (panel) must be from an old 72. So when I get the tub off I'll check the frame and "hope" I can still...

Step ahead of you! I've been using PB Blaster from the beginning! And the funny thing is the hardware store didn't carry liquid wrench so I went with the blaster as a second choice! I love it!

Hey Explorer, While I'm totally loving the Bronco rebuild... I still can't help but wonder about that ol Mustang.... Maybe next time....

Ok, so if you hit me over the head long enough eventually I get the point. DOH! I've been kicking around a plan over the last few days. So here goes.... (sort of) First overall thoughts... Since this will eventually be my son's truck I'm thinking mostly on-road. With that in mind I'm going...

Question Almost forgot. Any idea how I remove the window frame?

More Pics More pics.... As you can see I'm starting to collect lots of "parts"!

72 Rebuild Update So far this place has been great!! I've already gotten a ton of help!! Here are some pics....

Rear Axle / ID Tag Here is a pic of the rear axle and VIN tag.

Thanks for the comments. You guys sure are making me feel at home!! I have SO many questions. Little more background. I'm going to do a frame off. I've been working about a month on the tear down. I've been "trying" to take lots of pictures but somehow I feel like I keep missing some...

Hi everyone. I'm new to this site and new to rebuilding. I've been kicking around the idea of a rebuild for about 10 years. Originally I wanted to rebuild a mustang. But I work with three guys who are rebuilding vehicles and they suggested I rebuild a classic Bronco. They told me it was a...
