I used the hard line as well. Used a brake line bender went real easy. Seems to be working well.

I'm in the process of blasting the frame now. My Local sand and sillica dealer suggested 30-45. Not sure what exactly the numbers mean but I used it for about a half hour yesterday and it was working well. A 100lbs cost $6.30 and I bought 300lbs.

If you look in the mass buy section there is a 10% off offer. I just oredered some and chacked around on prices and the mass buy is a good deal. The por15 website is POR15.com if you want some product info.

thanks for the info

who knows where to find the vin number on the frame

Finally got some time to work on the bronco. Had to do a lot of work on the shop before starting the project. Anyway, here are some pics of my progress. I started disassembly about a week and a half ago. I'm a little further than the pics show. I got the engine, tranny, transfer, front and...

I was able to roll it into the garage so it should be in neutral. Thanks again.

Thank you very much!! I assume there is no need to mess with the front shifter?

Okay, rookie mistake number one. I pulled the body off and want to work on the transfer case and tranny. I understand about the special tool to insert to keep the pin bearings from falling out. My problem is I didn't put it into first gear prior to taking everything off. So how can I tell...

WOW! While working on my eb sunday my friend who was helping told me he saw a bonco rolled over. Small world, it was you. He described your bronco to a tee. Glad to hear your O.K. On the westside I think he said.

okay, quick question. Is the pin at the bottom of the steering shaft pressed in? If so can it be removed to pull the shaft out of the top?

I mechanic friend had me use high octane gas as a rinse for my new tank. He said that would clean it and to just use the what i poured out in my lawnmower. I ran it though some pantyhose first just to make sure there wasn't any trash in it. That was a few months back both are running great. I...

Okay, I was unsure if I was going to go this far until yesterday when climbing around under the thing I pulled a body mount off with my hand. Now that I've decided which way to go I need a "little" advice on how far. First how do I know just what needs rebuilding, ie.... trans, transfer...

I love that someone eles wants to keep their 170. I'm wnating the same so if you could send me some pics of your engine you'd be my hero. (obviously I'm easy to impress). No matter what though keep us up to dateon the build.

Thanks for the hints I printed them to keep as a reference.

I've heard a lot about swap meets. Anyone know of any in the Northeast FL area?

Tailgate is looking good. I have a few questions being new to all this. First, I assume you welded a new piece on, so which one did you go with? Second, I'm not much of a welder so what kind of welder did you use? I'm looking at buying a lincoln 135 plus, seems to be what I need from looking...

The forum ASTARK sent you is the one I asked the exact same question. I ended up ordering the CD's from the site listed. Still haven't received them yet but I can't wait. Good luck to you.

Thanks for the info. That might be what I'll try. I've got two parts trucks so tomorrow I'll go by to see if they have ones in decent shape.

I just looked at the link you sent and a few old threads. I havn't welded since 9th grade shop. To tell the truth it scares me a little but I'm seeing I better get over that. One of the threads showed welding on just new bottoms. Would I need to remove the whole piece or could it be done in...
