The vents are fairly inconspicuous, and you can stick to the original knobs if you prefer, they fit right on. One of the cables is a little long and operates more stiffly than the rest since the only way it fits under my dash is to have a loop in it. The only other downside is that the glove...

The bellhousing adaptor from a Dodge HD Cummins pickup truck will allow you to bolt up to the Dodge Automatic or a NV4500, otherwise the Ford adaptor plate is Bread Van specific, they sell them on Ebay, or you need to find a complete van. The bodies all look the same but the frame and chassis...

If you got lucky and found a 4bt that was a replacement for a small block, it would physically bolt right in...

I have around stock height suspension and a 3 inch body lift, with stiffer springs cut down from a 77 F150. I had to modify the oil pan extensively to gain clearance around the frond D44, and I also had to run a Wild Horses scooped hood to gain clearance for the intake. A few tips. Find a...

Yeah the heep arms will fit right on the dual motor wiper system.

No, a 4bt is not a Ford product, but Ford makes no engine that is even close to it in size, weight, performance, fuel mileage etc. Being a diesel fanatic, there were no other reasonably priced options. The big advantage of the 4bt is LOW end torque, and exceptional mileage. I am expecting to...

Those guards are exactly what I am looking for. Were they purchased from somewhere or home made?

The cage is there for safety and a place to mount 3 point seat belts to, but the bumped hood was a necessity, to fit the intake and intake heater for the 4bt under there. The bumped hood would have been too rich for my blood otherwise ;D

Forgot to smack that pic on there ;D

Hey guys, I am putting the finishing touches on the steed. I am loving the uncut look, but I have noticed that after a few trips down the gravel road, that I have a couple of small chips acquiring along and very near the fender lips. Has anyone mounted any small splash guards on an uncut? I...

I called around to some local radiator supply shops. I got a new copper radiator or around $200. I may have thought about switching to an aluminum radiator, except the leak developed after I had already made all the mounts for a Taurus fan, and it fit perfectly right between the endtanks of my...

This weekend we cleaned and reassembled the speedo with a new lens, Rebuilt the wing windows with new glass and seals, installed new window felts, wired in under dash lights, installed an electronic brake controller, installed stainless swing out mirrors, windshield to body seal, lower door...

I am a newbie too. I am almost finished on my first Bronco. I am finally getting to the point where I can answer a few questions instead of asking a thousand ;D This website has been invaluable to me during my journey both when I was a guest and after I was a registered member. I am going on...

Mine was much rustier than it looked and than I thought it was... I bought ALMOST every rust repair panel that any manufacturer makes. Including grill, tailgate and lower door skins. I had to rebuild the inside of the doors and the inner rear quarters with sheet metal too. Damn Minnesota...

Yeah in hindsight I probably should have done that...The guy who is painting it for me already started on it though...so now I am committed. This danged rig has been more than a 2 year journey and I swear if I could start again right away I could build one twice as nice twice as fast since I...

Yeah I wanted to do that, but that puts the hitch too high for all the trailers we have...or so my grandpa tells me ;D

Oh, you meant a hitch for towing, not being towed... I welded a receiver hitch mount directly onto the bottom of my bumper, but my bumper is 3/16" and has very large plates that bolt to the frame. I was going to adapt on a receiver just like the draw tite unit shown, but it didn't sit right...

Like has been said the Mazda 5 speed is a pretty decent unit. I think you get way more bang for you buck with it. I paid 150 for mine from a salvage yard. Put metal freeze plugs in place of the rubber shift rail plugs and some good quality fluid. We have one behind a 120HP 300FTLB Cummins...

Its not a hitch per say but my dad had a bunch of these old things in a bucket in the barn. I wire wheeled all of the rust and crap and bolted to them on each frame horn on the front and rear just far enough under so you can't see them. They worked great for pulling the bronco in and out of...

Ha ha, I feel your guys' pain. I have had lots of my parts lying around for 2 years or more, but mostly just the used ones. My dad taught me at a very young age the expert craft of being a scrounger. I just about ran out of parts last weekend. My dad lets me use his heated shop anytime I...
