At $12,500, I think you got a fantastic deal! I bought an original 76 with rusted out floor boards and a 302 that knocked badly. The original paint was so thin, that you could see the primer in many places. The power brake booster was full of oil and I paid $5,000.00 just because it was original...

Heat them first and then impact. They will come out.

Sorry guys! I sold her and i have not been watching this board closely.

I could run 37s with my set up, but you couldn't do much offroading requiring alot of flex. You could go War Flares and make the openings larger.

I used the Wild Horses twin sticks for my J-shift and they work great with either the stock shifter or the Hurst short throw. DFP, - I've never done the T-Shift conversion, so I can't help.

I have the hurst and love it! It is so much better than the Jeep shifter that came with the transmission. I bought mine from Summit and it was worth every penny! If you do get the hurst, make sure you locktight the bolts that secure the handle to the shift mechanism. The B&M looks really nice...

Revelation is correct. You need one person on each side with a small flat screwdriver to pry the spring loaded latch open. You may need to get a picture of an open tailgate so you can see how the mechanism works.

If you have the ability, tools and skills for this kind of fabrication, then by all means the 300 is a great powerplant. If you only have the abilty to bolt together a set up or if you are paying to have it done, then going 302/351 is the only way to go.

Did you try swapping the front springs side to side?

I would go with 2.5" suspension lift, flares and 33x12.5s. You can run 31's with just the flares and no suspension lift. I like the low mean look. Just enough lift to clear the tires and allow room for stuffing. Any more clearance is a waste and doesn't look good in my humble opinion.

These are 35"x12.5"x17" BFG Mud Ta's on 17"x10" rims with 4" backspacing. If I remember correctly, the flares are Bushwacker. The suspension lift is 4" with a 1" body lift to clear the NV3550 transmission. I'm calling the lift 4" because I have extended radius arms that have some lift built into...

Do not loosen the C-Bushings and drive it. That sounds like a disaster in the making. I also re-aligned mine without disconnecting the brake lines, so it can be done. Good Luck!

Ok, not the response I was looking for. It I can't get $2,500.00 for it I'll part it out. Thanks, Cg

Yup! OOgyrhead explained it very well! Thanks for the lesson.

Rear end was wiped! Ring, Pinion, bearings, spider-gears everything! You could use the edge of the pinion gears teeth to cut plywood! New parts on the way! Hopefull I'll be back on the road Tuesday or Wednesday. :)

Welcome Aboard! Now, go get your first Bronco and dive in! I purchase a 75 when I was 18 and I currently own a 76 and a 77. Good Luck!

There are a couple around, but not many. I only drive mine a couple of times a month. There are many more on the East Coast. I usually see a few around Ft. Lauderdale and when I go the Palm Beach Boat Show, I always see two or three during the week while I'm there. Chris B.

Mine are over 3 years old and not a single crack or chip in the paint on the flares. I wish I could say that for the rest of the truck. :( Mailboxes, rocks other hazards tend to damage paint! :)

I used to own a 75 Bronco with fiberglass flares. The fiberglass eventually cracks around the mounting screws and if you rub them against the tires or rocks, they will crack and break. The Gorilla flares just don't look quite right on a bronco. If looks are important, these may not be the right...

It looks good. Enjoy it!
