Okay folks, I'm new to the whole Bronco thing, even though I have always admired them. My last 4x4 was a built 1964 Scout converted to a Chevy 350. It had overdrive and racing suspension. I loved that beast and it was pretty much bullet proof. Here is what I got Broncowise on Ebay for $4,300.00. This is from the auction text. To me it looks like a solid base to build from. I want to lower it to a reasonable height, swap out for disc brakes front and rear and swap out the tranny. I'm not sure what to go with though C-4, C-6 or an NP435. I plan on installing A/C and I want good driveability on the street combined with off-road prowess and durability. Any suggestions? Tell me I did good on this one. ~Gene
