I have a 9 3/8" clutch in my '74 Bronco with a 200 inline six. When I replaced mine last year, I found a perfectly rebuilt clutch disk from Clutch Masters in Billings, MT. You might want to give them a call...(406) 256-9110. Believe me, that disk is hard to find.

I'm not sure what you mean when you say the door bracket is broken on the remote mirror. Beware if the fix involves trying to remove the cables that control the mirror. The pot metal where the cables attach to the remote toggle on the door's interior are an exercise in prayer. It is a real...

Ah, I had forgotten about that. There was a disconnected cable in that location, which would have been a throttle. I removed it completely when I replaced my dash.

For sale is the dash I removed from my '74. Since the original owner cut the dash to install an 8-track player, I replaced it with another uncut one. There aren't any dents in it, nor is there any rust or bondo. The radio cutout was done poorly, in that his cuts caused a bit of "waviness" in...

Damn! That's brutal and completely maddening! I've lost count of the number of times something went south on me while doing what should be a simple repair. I frequently think of the sign a friend has in his shop. "Every 20 minute job is one broken bolt away from becoming a 3 day ordeal."

Thanks! I just crawled under there again and was cleaning the surfaces to put a little sealer on the cover. Lo and behold, while I was cleaning the case surface, a pair of shims popped loose from the crud. I would have sworn there weren't any present, but I'll chalk this up to "male pattern...

Yesterday I removed the rear cover plate for the front output shaft on my Dana 20 and I immediately noticed that there weren't any shims installed. I had removed the 4-bolt cover because there was a small amount of oil weeping from the cover and I was going to put a thin layer of sealer between...

I replaced the rear main on my 200 cid, inline 6, but I did it by pulling the motor. It wasn't that bad and it was sooooo much easier to work on with it on a stand than laying on my back fighting everything. Perhaps not what you wanted to hear....

I hear you, and I best not jinx things! I’ve gone through it with a pretty fine tooth comb this past year. New head gasket, rear main and front seal, oil pan gasket, new axle seals, lube locker front and rear axle gaskets, etc., etc. I watch this thing like a hawk…perhaps too much.

Thanks! It has 110,000 original miles and runs like a top. It doesn't burn a bit of oil and after I replaced the rear main seal, there isn't a leak to be found.

'74 original paint Here's my '74 with its original candy apple red paint. It was quite oxidized when I got it but it now has a phenomenal shine to it. Amazing what taking clay to the paint will do.

I think I got the image from Seabiscuit. I don't have larger images, as I just expand his originals depending on whatever electrical part I'm working on. All the credit goes to him.

It's for the radio.

I did a knuckles-out conversion on my '74, with the donor knuckles coming from a '78 Bronco. I didn't have to install different steering components, aside from this tapered shim/sleeve from TBP: https://www.tomsbroncoparts.com/product/tapered-knuckle-shim-for-f150-knuckle-conversion-each-new...

Congrats on retirement; 'tis wonderful! Thought I'd mention the safety issue after seeing some really poor stand alternatives (e.g., cinder blocks). Sounds like you're going the same route that I did. I worked the front end first (with a disc brake conversion) and just now got to the rear...

I still had the original wooden frame that was covered with the grill cloth, so the install was pretty easy. Of course that's relative since there isn't that much room back there. Without the OEM wooden frame, it would be easy to fabricate something, and I would have done just as Brian...

.....adding to my post immediately above since the links weren't working. Here's where I got the copper washers: https://www.summitracing.com/parts/rat-5138 And here's some assistance on determining which axle you have: https://www.wildhorses4x4.com/category/bronco_rear_axle I painted my...

I'm good at creating work for myself......and others. I rebuilt my rear drum brakes but you may not need to. The only other part I needed was a 1/8" NPT tap, and a 1/8" NPT plug. You may decide to forego that part but I was glad I did it. Here are the posts that took me down that path (mine...

I HATE leaks so I may be the wrong person to ask. That said, it wasn't too difficult to do and I now know exactly when my rear axle was serviced. The third member is about 70 pounds and a bit awkward, but lifting it out and putting it back were the hardest part...and still not that bad. Here...

I'm assuming your leak is where the third member bolts up. I just rebuilt my rear drums and decided to replace the wheel bearings and seals. I went with a Lubelocker gasket for the third member. Sealed up perfectly without any additional sealant. Edit: While I had everything apart, I also...
