    Sun Visors With Rollcage

    Hey guys I searched and can't find anything. I have converted to two separate wiper motors from WH and have my roll cage tucked pretty close to the windshield. I am wondering if anyone has any pics of a way to mount a sun visor without using the stock wiper cover and with a rollcage.

    World Travellin' Bronco..take it with?

    Yes, do it!! Put the little 2.8 4 cylinder diesel in it. It would probably get 25 mpg and run forever, then you could cruise europe in style. I really wanted to put that engine in my bronco but they are almost impossible to get in the states. They are found in the "Global Ranger" and a few...

    Modify gas tank for EFI fuel pump ?

    On both of our Mustang EFI conversions we just used a common Ford external pump with the stock insulating bracket and added a return line to the tank. Very little modification required. The only downfall is that the old Mustang tank does not have anything in the tank to prevent sloshing so it...

    stangs & broncs

    My family is definitely a Mustang family. Collectively we have a 66 coupe, 67 convert, and 67 coupe. I was the first to venture into the Bronco territory. 67 coupe with 289, fuel injection, AOD, rack and pinion, AC, etc. Was my daily driver all through high school when there wasn't snow. I...

    SVO 2.3T swap

    Don't fool yourself into thinking you will get good mileage. I have one a turbo coupe 2.3 in a 1986 ford ranger. I only get 18 on the highway on a good day and 15 city. It has zero power without big boost numbers and that is where it takes fuel like has already been mentioned. I did take the...

    Plowing with a Bronco?

    I have never plowed but my bronco came with a plow installed. I took it off and sold it. It had air bags that fit right inside the springs with a normal valve stem like your tire would use. I would look for those. The plow mounting system also bolted right to the bumper mounting points on...

    What are your favorite hobbies?

    All of my main hobbies involve building and driving vehicles: the Cummins Bronco, the diesel motorcycle, the turbo ranger, the 67 Mustang Coupe, the Rotax 670 powered Yamaha Exciter, and I am always dreaming up some other crazy idea. I do mix in a little bit of guitar, photography and movies...

    cool fabrications you guys have made.

    Seems like the entire bronco has been a fabrication, but most recent addition is the cage: it will be prepped and painted soon...

    Dual tank manaul fuel switch and sending unit?

    Just a FYI the switch on the dash of my 74 does have an extra pin that we wired to switch an electronic valve from a chevy pickup while simultaneously switching the fuel gauge. It is hot in one position and dead in the other. We actually wired mine to switch two valves at once: one for the...

    393W or 4BT

    If my Bronco was my 2nd or 3rd vehicle or weekend cruiser I would go V8 all the way, but for me it is going to be my main vehicle and get put to good use. For me my Bronco will be my workhorse DD and my 67 Mustang will stay as my weekend hot rod and that will give my V8 fix so I can still hear...

    Tha two tone does look really nice. I am painting mine real bright orange and am trying to think of a way to break it up a tad. The died bedliner came out real bright so it is getting me nervous...

    393W or 4BT

    I don't see the vibration or shaking as a deal breaker, they are both manageable in our F 150s. I highly recommend you test drive a 1st gen dodge cummins as your 4bt will run and drive very similarly in your Bronco. Also be prepared for the possibility of replacing pistons and rings or some...

    How to make twin sticks?

    I built my twin sticks out of two half ton shifters from the junkyard. You just shave the two main pivot points on the shifters narrower so they will both fit on one of the bolts that hold them to the transmission. Then you bolt a piece of pipe to each plunger on the t case. Then connect the...

    Where to find a 4BT?

    For those of you looking for 5 speeds, the ZF with a small block bellhousing will bolt right up to the Ford adaptor that many of these motors come with. This would save buying a new adaptor and personally I think the ZF is a better overall choice than the NV4500. If your not doing too much...

    Aode 4r70w Transmission

    Scratch my stupid divorced D20 idea, http://www.jamesduff.com/eb/shifters.html As I understand it this adaptor could convert a standard 2wd AOD to hook right up to your Dana 20 and you would avoid the hassle associated with the computerized unit.

    Aode 4r70w Transmission

    If you are running a stock Ford PCM for fuel injection there is a chance you can get that to run your tranny otherwise you would need to purchase a standalone computer. According to Wikipedia the only non computerized AOD's configured for 4wd were in the big broncos from 1982 to 1993. So this...

    Which air/heat kit??

    Anyone have any experience with Classic Auto Air or Vintage Air kits? It is important that the kit I buy have at least adequate heating capacity since I live in MN. I have a Vintage Air Kit in an old Mustang and the heating leaves a little to be desired. Any info on either of these or...

    4bt Bronco Build

    Lower quarters: I ordered them from wild horses and I cut along the seam of the old ones, the top seam on the new panel is actually metal glued on like they do with new cars. It is pretty standard stuff you can get at auto body places. The side and bottom seams are welded from the inside...
