Hey guys, I was just thinking, all the help I have gotten over the past couple years on here, and what a great community of bronco lovers, it really is just a great group of selfless people.

This thread is to briefly describe the project and how someone went above and beyond and who they are on classicbronco.

Thanks to "Deano" and "Crush"

Ok these guys didn't even know me and seen my posts on her about what I wanted to do to my bronco and gave me good advice, and we found out we are about an hour from each other, then invited me to their place and we totally changed out my dash. What a job! After about 16 hours we finished up enough that I could drive it back home, and get this, Deano followed me all the way home, like a 40 minute one way trip to make sure I made it because we had some Lose ends.

He got pulled over by the police for some crap about his trailer, but it ended well. Then, I got a wire crossed up finishing up the loose ends on the dash and Crush came to my house and helped me get that straightened up.

Deano came Down to help me with my suspension lift kit and Crush found the suspension kit on here and told me about it.

Thank you to a Great group of guys

Fixing the thunking noise

I should also thank Deano, O1JLH, attac, Dirtdonk. I bought another 70 bronco and Deano drove down after midnights and checked it out with me, and the all those guys helped me figure out to add friction additive to fix the thunking around turns in my rear end.

Karl Bradley helped me out big time. Came and saved me from the side of the road in Ohio. He lives in N.C. Trailered my broke bronco back to his house, stopping off at Super celebration for a half day. Great friend, Nick is also a very good person.

DirtDonk about four years ago. I was trying to get a 429 started and some how we began exchanging PMs. I was pretty new to the site and he went above and beyond out of pure kindness. It was a big deal to me to hear this engine run and I was able to thanks to him.

Man I'd need a minimum 60 posts to thank everybody who has helped me on this forum.

How about I just put a shout out to EVERYBODY who has helped a fellow member here. That's what makes this such an amazing board.

I would like to thank Dirtdonk for answering my PM's and also for taking the time to answer all the questions he does here on the forum.

Monster Mike has never failed to answer my questions and helped me a ton with my project over the last six months. And I was fortunate to be able to buy his C4 that has been working perfectly. ;D

Viperwolf always gives his knowledge freely and I really appreciate that. It was very cool seeing his build.

This forum. I don't know if I'd be even close to tackling a project without this forum. When I run into a problem (like I do often), I just look at what others have done in the same situation.

My wife is very understanding and actually likes my EB.

And finally, I would like to thank my father-in-law. He's not on the forum so he won't know I'm thanking him. But he helped me so much and he's just a great guy. I was amazed when I walked into his garage with my girlfriend and saw his '75 he built 20 years ago. Without build threads and/or the internet. He told me he put a steering box on his back then and when he fired it up the wheels turned the wrong way. He said he thought he could get used to it for a second before taking it off. Funny, Mr. Duff said he did the same thing years ago recently when I got a chance to talk to him. Here's a pic of his from 2014:

My apologies if this sounds like I just won an Oscar.

I've been a member here for 14 years. The list of guys I've gotten help from is longer than my memory can retain. Thanks to everyone on the board for 14 years of help, advice, and camaraderie.

A huge thanks to Jon for creating the best Bronco site out there.

While there has been a lot of folks directly or indirectly (found information that has been already posted) helped me out I would like to thank the usual suspects Dirtdonk, Viperwolf, Eric001, and the rest of the characters that make up this site.
Oh and bmc69 for making me laugh!

THE list for me would be immense....from having suggestions, to actual wrenching to have an ear to bounce things off of. My local brothers have always been there to lend a hand.... Thanks to all of you, as fatboy says..."it takes a village, I just happen to be the idiot" :cool:
