Hi all,
I am new to the forum. I just picked up my first Early Bronco ;D, its a 69 U15 with the 170 6 cyl. I have always wanted one and finally got the opportunity. It needs a lot of work and I plan a slow restoration over the next couple years. I have limited experience with this type vehicle so all the help I can get is much appreciated!!! My first goal is to get to a driveable state. What is the best and most detailed service/maintenance manual available? As I picked it up there is no front glass, however it came with a brand new in the bag front glass rubber seal. I will have to purchase the new glass, any suggested retailers? Any suggestions on installation with or without sealer? There is also a missing brake line originating at the master cylinder that needs to be replaced and brake system bled and adjusted. The original brake line looks as though it had a flexible section. I would like to replace it with a stainless steel line and bend and cut to fit. The fuel tank has been removed but came with a new mts tank sitting in the back not installed. The new fuel tank has a filler, vent, sending unit (2 post), and supply. I can't find the old vent line, how shall I fab a new one? routing? check valve? canister? Also no sending unit wire attachment to be found. There is a new factory replacement 2 bbl carb that appears to have only the throttle linkeage attached, but possibly missing the choke cable and another? Not sure what its for or where to attach. I do have pictures but don't know how to attach to this thread.
Sorry for the random and basic questions. I look forward to this project and can't wait to get started! Thanks
