    Body alignment

    Is it possible for a bronco body to be misaligned on the frame? In other words, can it be offset to one side or the other? Or does the design of the body mounts prevent this.

    Opinions on seats

    I'm leaning toward the procar seats on the Wild horses site. The part number is 3650. If any of you guys are running these I'd like know what you think of them. Thanks.

    Body alignment

    I've been moving slow on my '69, but I finally started to mount my winch bumper from WH. The bumper isn't lining up on the sides of the body. I have the Bobcat 8274 winch bumper, and the the right side has about 3" of clearance between the bumper and fender. The left side has about a 1/4". When...

    Body panels replacement

    I need to replace the driver side lower quarter panel, the rocker panel, and the B pillar. This is my first time doing something like this. My question is, in what order should they be replaced once everything is removed? It seems pretty straightforward when I look at how they overlap, but I'd...

    Bobcat 8274 winch bumper

    I got this bumper as a Christmas gift from my wife and sons. I have not installed it yet, but I was looking at the mounting bracket on the driver side, and it seems like one of the bolts from the steering box needs to be removed and then reinstalled through the bumper bracket. Is this correct? I...

    Body shops

    Just venting. I had a local body shop in mind for my body and paint work, and I had already talked to them about doing the work right before the covid lockdown. I decided to postpone things until after the lockdown. The shop has been in business here for 50 years. Still family owned. Now that...

    My budget gauges

    Rewired the bronco a couple of months ago and I wanted all my gauges in the stock location. I will probably change out the speedometer for one that only goes to 100 MPH. I bought the gauges in 2016 when my engine was being built and I could only find the 160 MPH speedometer in cobalt at the...

    Painless wiring ammeter wire

    Just looking for confirmation on the 2 ammeter wires in the painless wiring harness. Do I plug the 2 ammeter wires into each other? From what I have read it seems these 2 wires have to be connected to complete the charging system. I am not running stock gauges. It would be nice if the...

    Painless wiring question

    I'm installing a new painless harness and I have an ididit steering column with the gm style plug. Since the newer column has a hazard switch I'd like to bypass the dash mounted switch. Do I run the 4 wires meant for the old switch to the appropriate wires on the new column? Or does the old...

    New firewall insulation

    Started putting in my new firewall insulation today. That thing is a pain in the ass! I think it'll look good after I'm done, but right now me and the insulation are not friends.

    Door inserts

    I'm working on installing the 1 piece door inserts from wild horses and I have a few questions. 1. How much trimming did you have to do to get a good fit? 2. How did you seal off the seams around the inserts? 3. Did the portion of the insert that meets the floor stay flat against the floor...

    Rear bumpers

    I really want one of the rear bumpers with the tire rack, ice chest rack, and the gas can holder. Is this style of bumper still being built? Seems like the vendors are done carrying this type.

    E brake for Currie built rear

    Has anyone found a way to hook up the e brake on a currie built 9" with the explorer disc brakes? The cable has to come in from the back. Currie didn't explain this when I ordered it last year. I would really like to get my e brake hooked up. Thanks

    Gauge cluster opinions

    I will be rewiring my bronco fairly soon and I'm trying to decide on gauge options. My original plan 4 years ago was to run auto meter gauges (I'm currently running 3 auto meter in a cheapo bezel for oil, gas, and water). Now I'm leaning towards restoring the factory cluster or going with a...

    Quick delivery?

    Anyone else notice faster delivery times when ordering parts? Last week I ordered a set of gears from Randy's Worldwide in Fresno, Ca, and they arrived the next day. I placed the order around 3:00 PM the day prior. This was the first order I have placed with this company. Monday I ordered...

    Replace the axles?

    I have a new Yukon 4.56 ring and pinion and a Detroit truetrac waiting to be installed next week. If the axles still look good is there any reason to replace them? If they are in fact the original axles (front 44 is out of a 76 or 77) should they be replaced due to age? Is it worth the money...

    Currie is installed

    I finished installing my Currie rear 9" yesterday. Took a 5-6 mile drive today. I'm glad I went with the 4.56 gear ratio. I went back and forth between 4.11, 4.30 and 4.56 before I ordered the axle. I finally decided to go 4.56 after lots of reading on CB. Some suggested 4.88 and 5.13, but...
