    Christmas Wreath on Grill?

    Now that the holiday season is approaching and that I happen to have access to an infinite amount of wreaths (family farm) what are the potential risks that could happen by affixing a wreath to the grill of my '75 Bronco? I understand it could interfere with the radiator but its cold enough now...

    Will these heads work?

    Update: (for anyone who has to deal with drilling holes in the future) I have put a couple hundred miles on my Bronco so far in weather ranging from 40 F to 90 F and have not experienced any overheating issues. All I did was put the new headgaskets on and used a punch to mark where to drill and...

    Advantages of Aluminum intake?

    Thanks I wasn't aware of this before, I will definitely look into checking the pushrod movement to determine if there is a cam or not.

    Advantages of Aluminum intake?

    I am pretty sure that my intake seals on my 302 V8 need to be redone as I didn't do the best job putting them on initially (I was more concerned about getting the motor running to start with and it was my first time ever doing them) so I plan on redoing them this winter. However, my stock cast...

    Viable Tachometer Options?

    I think I will go with this option for now and then once I have an idea of what the RPM vs noise correlation is I might remove it. And you are absolutely correct my Bronco is very loud for it being a 302 with no apparent modifications (other than headers)

    Viable Tachometer Options?

    Thanks for the advice, my Bronco has a fairly stock 302 (the only modification I have found is headers being added but I suspect there may have been other things done to it) and the stock 3 speed manual transmission. I have found that once I get above 20 mph I have to shift to the third (and...

    Viable Tachometer Options?

    I've been doing a lot of driving with my 1975 302 V8 Bronco recently and have been wondering if/how I should put a tachometer in? The only reason I think this is because I would like to know the RPM in order to not stress the engine too much and to possibly obtain better fuel mileage (currently...

    Correct Shock Size for 1975 Ford Bronco?

    Ok, so I measured the distance between the front and rear axles and came up with 8" in the front and 6" in the back. From what I can tell this is at best a 1" lift in the front and no lift in the back. Would it be ok to replace all 4 shocks with factory height ones? I have seen a few listings...

    OH Voltmeter gauge face stickers

    Do you have the image file for the stickers? I'd like to try just printing it out and laminating it or something like that.

    Correct Shock Size for 1975 Ford Bronco?

    I was driving the other day and noticed that going up and down a small hill & curve at 25 mph felt like going on a roller coaster so I figure it is my 25+ year old shocks that are to blame. However, I have no idea what shocks are currently on my Bronco so I am unsure what would be needed to...

    Is My Bronco Stock Height?

    Ok, I understand it has 31x10.5 r15s on it so the vehicle itself is a bit higher off the ground, but I'm wondering if my Bronco is lifted at all? There just seems to be a bit more space than there should be between the wheels and fenders. This picture is a bit blurry but the tape measure reads...

    265/75R15 or 31x10.5 R15 tire interchangeability?

    Maybe I'm misusing the word lol, I just mean tires that aren't dry rotted and bald and are safe/usable. Sent from my SM-G991U1 using Tapatalk

    265/75R15 or 31x10.5 R15 tire interchangeability?

    I've been looking a bunch for some 31x10.5 R15 tires to replace the ones that are currently on my '75 Bronco, but I'm having difficulty finding ones that are actually serviceable. My question is if i put on the 265/75 R15s (which seem to be both much cheaper and more common) on the rims would I...

    Transfer Case Oil Type? 80w-90?

    Would 75w-90 be a better choice then maybe? I get to experience winter weather from approximately September to May here in WI

    Transfer Case Oil Type? 80w-90?

    I've been driving my Bronco for a bit and have noticed that my transfer case is leaking oil (for some reason, I think the spedometer gear o-ring might be the culprit) and now I figure that its a good time to replace the fluid thats in there (considering its at least a quarter of a century old)...

    Driving a Bronco - Tips and Advice?

    Thanks a bunch! I plan on throwing all of this stuff into it along with a full size spare tire (until I can find some decent 10.5x31 R15s somewhere) and following all of the advice from everyone in this thread.

    Driving a Bronco - Tips and Advice?

    It is the later, I don't plan on going more than a few miles from my house to begin with. Also, I have have a "tow bar bumper" for it that I will probably place inside so towing it can be done with any mid-size pickup (It was hauled from South Carolina to Wisconsin with it)

    Driving a Bronco - Tips and Advice?

    I'm getting to the point where I plan on taking my Bronco onto public roads soon and I am just asking for advice/tips on what to bring along (tools, parts, etc.) and also some advice on how to "drive" a Bronco in general (I heard a rumor that they have a tipping problem). I mostly plan on...
