Need Help with Build in North Phoenix

[KeithKinPhx]

My wife and I have come to the conclusion my three year rebuild is going to be a thirty year project so I need some help.

Specifically:
1. I have the Dana 20 out and disassembled. I am not confident in my ability to put it back together. Well, correctly at least.....
2. The 4R70W swap out from BC Broncos is on the floor. Manual trans already out.
3. My custom dash needs painting to match Peacock Blue body color.

I have a fully furnished garage with tools (lift, evap cooling, etc) in Desert Hills, near I-17 and Carefree Hwy.

I am willing to pay, help, shout words of encouragement, buy pizza but need to get the ball rolling.

I started out documenting the restoration on YouTube (Rising Phoenix Bronco) but work and life have gotten in the way. I run a pool service and repair company and the spring rush is already underway.

I am Covid Free and will follow what ever measures you feel you need to stay safe. Honestly don't know anyone with it or anyone who knows someone with it.

Please let me know if you or someone you know can help.

Thanks for your time and referrals.
Keith

Keith,

I always appreciated watching your videos and wondered what happened with your build, rising Phoenix it was coming along great and you had a great rust free Bronco to start with.

I understand completely, I finally sent mine out for body and paint in order to get it finished. Now I am putting it back together with the goal to drive it this summer, however that was my goal last summer.

As you know it is a money and time balance, i.e. some of my parts I just took them to get powder coated vs spending my time to prep and paint. Or bought new from vendors vs trying to fix an old piece.

It might be easier to take some of the parts to a shop and get them done, transfer case, painting the dash vs trying to do it your house. Skilled labor can often get it done with quality and less time. Just a thought.

I wish I was closer and I would come over and help.

Wish you, your family and Bronco well!

Chris

If anyone know a good shop in Phoenix that could tackle the Dana 20 or the tranny I would appreciate the referral.

Thanks,
Keith
