Hey guys just a thought, your killing your resale value (if you even care). I did this on a '67 El Camino once from about 75,000. When i sold the car the speedo read 15,000. At one time the car had been recorded as having 32,300 miles so now it looked like i had 115,000 miles instead of 90,000. I think i skrewed myself out of about $2,000 with that little trick.

Just another "adjustment" and the concern can be rolled away

My Bronco is for my purpose ... and even with potential of a future sale, I would not deal with anyone who blindly applies NADA or any other source of determining value.

True, but it's always easy enough to change it back to what you want! ;D

I never even concidered the mileage when looking at my rig. Besides, you cant tell me a rig like these has 75000 or 175000 let alone 275000. The way parts are swaped around does it really matter? In my opinion, if you really believe odometers I think its kinda foolish.

Good Point, but since my bronco doesn't have the original axles, Motor, Tranny or T-Case and since Michigan doesn't record Mileage on the titles anymore when a car hits 10yrs old, Doesn't really matter anyway. ;D

You can buy the EB white face overlays direct from the manufacturer. Here is their site:

[Outshine2]

Yeah it doesn't look like there are any on Ebay right now... I'd say go to the site that edge4 posted, if that's not what you are looking for let me know and I'll find his email addy.

 

[76BroncoSport]

thanks guys, I have an email in to him as we speak.

I have another question about the odometer reversal? as long as I have the tabs lined up and the numbers are at 0 should I be fine? the tab on the left end is a little off from the others but when I put it back in they were all lined up. I think it got knocked and misaligned when putting it back in, anyone got some pics of how the tabs look after reinstalling? I don't want to get the thing all the way reinstalled and have to take it out again. Thanks,

Jon
