    Never thought I'd be up Medford way

    Quick stop in Medford and had to stop by Tom's Bronco Parts. I was in a hurry so I was in and out and bought a couple small things. No time to really visit, but staff was very nice. Never thought I'd be up this way.

    Ignition switch installation help

    I probably should have just replaced the lock cylinder as my key could be pulled out when in the on position, or fall out sometimes while driving. The PO must have had the same problem as he left a replacement switch and cylinder in the glove box. Any way, i removed the whole switch. The...

    Slight dimming of headlights when turning left

    Tried a search on this but I did not find anything. When my head lights are on, if I turn the wheel to the left, and only left, my headlights dim slightly. I am 99% sure this was not happening before. I put it back on just like ive done in the past when i have removed it. I just put the...

    Butt welds with Hobart mig

    I have a Hobart 140 mig welder. I am new to welding and have been practicing butt welding on multiple pieces with some success but not getting full penetration between the two pieces (this is for a patch panel in the kick panel for some rust I stumbled across while doing the floor pans). To be...

    Re-chromed hub lock covers

    I had my old beat up originals hub lock covers re-chromed. They look much better. For those in Houston I used a shop on 11th street in the heights, bright metals. 70 bucks for both.

    "El Beasto" floor pan project

    My first body work project on any car so I thought it would be good to have a thread for all the questions / advice I will be peppering you guys with. I have tracked a few good threads but I am sure I will be seeking some guidance. I ve still got to do some clean up work prior to really...

    Rubber bumpers b/w bottom and back of stock seats

    Could someone please post a pic of the rubber bumpers that are screwed in b/w the back and bottom of the original seats? I knew there was something wrong with my seats when I got the bronco, way too laid back. I took a look at some at the recent H-town meet up but failed to snap a pic and my...

    MIG welder rental

    Gents, took a welding course a couple weekends ago to see if I'd be willing to try to replace a couple spots in my bed that have rotted right behind the wheel wells. I think I can get away with some patch panels. Loved the course (MIG with flux gas, with flux infused wire, plasma cutting...

    Fuel pump and distributor arm

    Replaced my mechanical fuel pump today and thought I'd pass this tip I heard. Not sure if it is true (has to be, it was on the internet, you tube to be exact) or if this is common knowledge. A gent said if you line up your dizzy arm at roughly 9 o'clock facing the engine (near 6 and 2...

    Poking around the engine found two random unconnected wires. I found the one by the horn inspecting some PS fluid seepage (another post probably coming on that).
