    Big Oly T-shirt

    Don't know if this was posted already (don't see it) but Bronco-guy Dave Jarvis sent me this link to a Meyers Manx T with a modest image of Big Oly on it. https://meyersmanx.com/collections/gear/products/copy-of-meyers-manx-1964-race-t-shirt Not inexpensive, but probably not out of line for...

    Number of Bolts - Windshield Frame to Top?

    As the title says, how many and is there a different number between early and late models? I've seen the number 9 bandied about in searches, and I have 10 on mine. But mine is a hybrid of a later model top and an early windshield frame ('68) with some re-drilling involved. I'm sure we've...

    Big Oly Coming to Auction

    Don't know if it's been brought up yet, but have not seen it here so thought I'd mention I just got an announcement from Mecum that Big Oly is coming to Indy May 14-22. Should be interesting to watch...

    Bronco PhotoShoot in northern CA

    Anyone running topless right now in a mostly stock-ish Bronco and looking for some downtime on the coast in a couple of weeks?;D Someone is looking for a stock, or mostly stock-ish Bronco for a video shoot up on Highway-1 near Stinson Beach in two weeks. Must be topless, at least for the...

    Factory Dual Tone Horns

    This is really just for the archives, since I don't remember seeing them posted up anywhere before. Didn't search either though. We've talked about them over the years, but most have not seen a set. I remember having seen a couple of EB's over the years with two horns from the factory. But no...

    Phones Temporaily Off at Wild Horses

    Just a quick head's up that some of the electricity is out (for just a short time hopefully!) at Wild Horses. Oddly enough we can hear the phones ringing, but we can't answer them. Frustrating, but should be all cleared up soon. The internet ordering system will still work, but printing out the...

    Strange Letters Stamped on Frame Horn

    Anyone ever seen this particular frame horn stamping: GHIIJ by any chance? Only numbers I've seen on the front end of a frame horn have been the typical Ford part numbers. Other numbers stamped in the frame rails are the VIN of course, but located elsewhere. Customer says he can see this number...

    More Bronco-TV Saturday

    Just finished watching the most recent episode of Performance TV and the first ten minutes was all about the new Thoroughbred Bronco body sold through Dennis Carpenter. Nice little bit. Paul

    Interesting Muffler from BBK - give a listen...

    Sound clip is worth the price of admission. I watched (more like "listened to") the video a few minutes ago and had to share for those that haven't heard a sweet engine in the last hour or so! Interesting concept on the muffler. Too bad they didn't offer an actual comparison of the different...

    Found: The Old PowerBlock TV shows

    This must be discussed here somewhere, but I'll be dipped if I can find it. I've been wondering what happened to the PowerBlock on Spike TV for a couple of months now. At least it feels that way. No upcoming shows, no mention of anything, and just the occasional repeat of Search and Restore...

    Alright everybody. Start trolling the forums for your favorite quotes, or responses to questions, or just anything that made you laugh, cry, or say "wow, what a great question/answer/comeback" In other words, if it makes you smile, or pass Cheerios and milk through your nose, post it up here...

    Another Mecum Auction in the works

    Not sure if anyone has already mentioned it somewhere else, but I didn't see mention of the Broncos for sale again. Just saw a very clean Dark Gray '72 with the usual upgrades fail to sell for $39k!! Ya know, I realize that they're hot right now, but to not accept near 40 grand seems a bit odd...

    Death Wobble hits the Mainstream

    Not sure if this has been mentioned already, but a couple of weeks ago the local news did a consumer watch story about our own beloved Death Wobble. In it, you could already hear the overtones of panic among both owners of Jeeps, and Chrysler affiliates about the mere mention of the word "Death"...

    Original Stock Axle U-Bolt Size?

    As the title says, does anyone still have their old original u-bolts by any chance? I'd be interested to see what was used and when it was used over the years. Generally, they're considered to be 1/2" at the threads, but I thought I'd seen some that were 7/16" too. At least I'm pretty sure I've...

    Thermactor Plugs at Jeg's

    Since the question comes up now and then about where to get the plugs, or what size bolt to use, to plug the air-pump ports in the cylinder heads, I thought I'd post up this page from Jeg's. Don't know if this has already been posted, but I just saw them listed today in an e-mail sale flyer...

    CA Stock shifter for NV3550

    Have an NV now, but didn't come with the shifter mechanism. Anybody have one they want to get rid of? Can be stock or aftermarket, just need something to get 'er finished. Going to check out the junkyards too, but thought I'd post here first. Thanks Paul

    Oddball Manual Tranny ID?

    Hey trans experts. I have a slightly unusual 5spd transmission I need to identify. It's got some of the look of an NV3550, but it's not as far as I can tell. All aluminum, 2-piece case with no spacers in between. Backup lamp switch on passenger side. Drain in bottom, fill in driver's side...

    Is This Dana 44 Salvageable?

    I guess the answer is, depends on how much work you want to do. Here's the potential problem though. Have a high-pinion 44 that is minus the C-bushing wedges and has new steering yokes (the "C's") waiting to be welded on in any position I choose. So far, so good. The short side tube however...

    Am cutting the Blue wire...

    I can hear it now. "Don't do it!" Never cut the blue wire. Otherwise... Boom. Talking about one of RJM's EFI harnesses here though, so we should be OK. Haven't e-mailed Ryan yet, but since it's late, thought I'd check here first. In the back by the firewall, there are two long-ish, un-covered...

    Bronco Sighting during Dakar on Versus

    Didn't see this posted, but there are a couple of shots of a Bronco during the Dakar Rally intro on Versus this week. Almost the first scene in all the snippets is of a Bronco's wipers. Then a full shot half-way through the segment. Not bad. Saw one somewhere else the same day, but can't...
