I added 2 pics, one shows gap in front between fender and tire…

Hey all, testing tire size for my 69 uncut. I know there are lots of threads on this but need feedback on my actual truck. This has a 2” susp lift and no body lift. The pics show a new 15”x7” American Racing wheel. This test tire is a 31 x 10.5 BFG. Wheel has -6mm offset and 3.76 backspace...

Thanks!!

Got rust on new front wheel hubs. Ideas how to prevent so you don’t see that when I put the new wheels on? Paint seems like it will scratch when wheels slide across it on install and removal.

Hey all I have a 69 frame off resto and have new suspension in with the diffs, steering linkage, engine, trans and transfer case all installed and wheels and tires on. I have .25” lean on the driver side. So donI remove the c bushings and reinstall or hope it levels out after the rebuild is...

Thanks for all the feedback! Anyone like the Tom’s off-road ones??

Hi all… looking for feedback of how you all like Tilt Steering versus sticking with stock? Need a new steering column and power steering package and need to decide. Column shift auto to a C4…daily driver not major off-to ader. Thanks!!

Frame, diffs and parts are powder coated and installed. 2.5” susp lift installed. Old tires and wheels on as a roller. Same 302 going back in it when it’s done. The C4 is rebuilt as well as Dana 20. Like to put the body back on to do all the body panel work and welding so it’s square?? Then...

So I pulled the ‘69 body off including to roof and lowered it on jacks. Couldn’t get the jacks high enough in the back so the body is not level. Started tearing floor out and drivers side kick plate door pillar and rockers, and of course didn’t weld supports from dash to rear fender. Worried...

Good point, leaning to 16” then…

Yeah I think 16 or 17 look better for me as well. Plus I saw somewhere that on disc brake conversion the 15” rim doesn’t have much room for crimp on balance weights cause the hit the caliper??

Looking for new tires and wheels for my 69 resto. Have a Toms 2.5” susp lift going on. Like to have 30” tires. Any recommendations? Want to keep rear fenders uncut.

The pinion gears have to be replaced in front anyways so now would be the time to swap. Thanks!!

Have a 302 and rebuilding front and rear diffs. Plan to go with 31” tires on 16” rims and running a C4 trans. Current ratio is 3.50. Should I stick with or move to 3.73? Will be used for a driver, not a rock climber.

Thanks!!! Haven’t read this much since college!

OK! Thoughts on braided line versus solid

Resto on a ‘69 and need cooler lines for c4 transmission. Will the 73-77 lines fit the 69??

Thanks all!!

‘69 Bronco - frame off and body in one piece on stands, has rust, needs work. 302 Engine already in for rebuild. Basic but add Sniper EFI. C4 runs but thought to have that and Dana 20 rebuilt, can turn them in now to shop. Gonna be a driver, not crazy stroked or lifted. What’s next? Here’s...

Sorry I was not clear. I am using the existing C4, TCase, Front and rear diffs. My question was on the coating for those, if any. Thank you for the frame coating info..!
