Beautiful rig, but I find it mildly irritating that your engine bay is somehow 10X cleaner and emptier than mine (351W), and you have both a 7.3 Godzilla engine and hydroboost. Wherever the PCM and various other items ended up, your installer did an amazing job on the engine swap IMHO.

FWIW, you can call your local wrecking yards and see what they have available as well...I use www.car-part.com to access a national registry sometimes when I need something a little more obscure or from something older than what most of my local yards stock. There appears to be several of these...

If you are thinking about purchasing and running the Raybestos 4943R front hubs, please note that there are no bearing knockouts for either the inner or outer bearing races. There was enough of a lip showing of the inner bearing race to knock it out with a sharp edged drift, but the outer was...

I've seen them list for $100-$250 here on the classifieds when they come up...I paid $600 for mine, but it came with a running '76 F150 wrapped around it. You might post a wanted ad and see what shakes loose.

FWIW, the 10 PSI residual pressure valves do not provide enough pressure to resist the force provided by the main return spring on the shoes. Doing the math, 10 PSI across the piston area of a Ø15/16" bore wheel cylinder, like the ones my '77 runs, would equate to about 10.7 pounds of force...

I really like the ARB's my brother has in his '85 Yota...other than needing seals every so often, they've been solidly reliable performers, so I'm going the ARB route on my F150 HPD44/Ford 9 axle swap, knowing there were some compromises on the 31-spline 9" ARB application. I'm not a comp guy...

To properly spec out a master cylinder, we would really need to know what you're actually running in terms of brakes. Ford versus GM, standard versus oversized calipers, rear disc brake solution since that's clearly aftermarket, etc. Weirdly, Ford Bronco's are some of the few applications that...

You could always pumch a decent sized hole in the outside surface of the bracket as well, that way you can blast water into the pocket and out the bottom drain hole as needed.

Just my experience, but Timken is still a world leader in certain bearing production, including tapered roller (wheel) bearings, spherical rollers, etc, and they've always had very good material control IMO. That said, they've never been a leader with respect to the unit-bearing assemblies, and...

I'm currently installing a GM TRE setup from Ruff Stuff, and they have a bushing for the pitman arm that is flanged that would be simple to modify for a Ø.75" through hole, given that it's at about Ø.77" on the large end already. A lathe and either a drill bit or a boring bar and you could be...

I'm sorry about the unforeseen medical stuff, but hope you're feeling better. Hopefully someone local to you can help you out, as I think shipping to the West Coast would be a cost prohibitive.

Paul, thanks for the input. I've been looking at leaving the box "stock" so that the pitman arm faces forward like in my '77 F150, but it seems to put the sector shaft in the territory above the driver's side of the tie-rod, so I'm concerned about needing to limit up-travel because of it. It...

I was hoping someone could provide a dimension between the radiator support at the steering box "pocket" and the grill, as my fenders and grill are off at the moment and I'm midway through my 4x4x2 swap. I moved my front axle forward ~1.5" when I did my CAGE long-arms, and those chickens are...

Tough to beat the BFG AT KO2 or KO3's IMO for a decent all-terrain tire that does well on the road, wet or dry, isn't too noisy, wears decent, rides well, etc. For a slightly lower cost option, I've run the Cooper Discoverer AT3 tires on another rig and they seemed to do pretty well overall for...

As noted above, tire pressure is just one variable of many that factory into the overall ride quality of your rig. I will say that for my EB, the biggest difference in ride quality was achieved with more modern springs (coils and leafs), better shocks and better seats. Going to a CAGE (Duff...

Nice molotov cocktail pic...but I really like the relocated fuel door. I'm looking at doing something similar with my '77, any tricks to routing the fuel filler neck that far rearward?

Sure, no problem...hopefully posting the code doesn't make me an accessory after the fact. I'm just trying to make bad decision making a little more affordable wherever I can.
