Got a chance to work on the Bronco a little bit more today. I managed to get the inner rocker as drivers floor board out rather quickly, and then I stopped, a little puzzled at what I was looking at. At first I thought the the previous owner had once again fabricated something to make the Bronco rival a Sherman tank (he was a machinist/welder by trade and figured that everything could be made stronger using steel), but then I started looking deeper. Now a little background, when I bought the Bronco I knew it had a NP435 tranny, but the PO thought it was a Dana 20 attached to it and installed by the PO to him. Well a quick look after seeing the homemade bracket and I was able to figure out that there was no Dana 20 hiding between the rails.... Looks like I scored a Np205 to sit in the corner of the shop! Good thing I have 2 Dana 20's currently residing there.
