in 2014 when BF goodrich announced they are discontinuing making 35-12.5 -16.5 tires i bought 2 new sets.
one set i mounted shortly after i got them and the other i stored in my warehouse until a couple months ago when i had them mounted on my set of 16.5x10 Jackman rims
Me knowing that my old-stock DOT 2014 BFG's are okay but also understanding that anyone interested in Bronco would question it all, i decided to get 4 brand new Interco VorTrac 35-12.5-16.5 for the fresh polished oem rims.
(not so cheap )

ever since i got the C350 the lower dash trim always had a crack that was superglued ( drove me nuts )
but also the very crude dual fuel tank setup and the installation of the switch for it . ( since day one i wanted to eliminate the front fuel tank the redo that panel. Over the years i bought 2 new very rare lapis blue panels )
i used one to mend my OCD :);).... and yes custom OEM copy decals for the rear AC switch.

Well .....

in the last 2 weeks i put her back together. Having new oem Ford trim screws was a must.

Bronco is not 100% but i can def see the end of the tunnel.

took the C350 yesterday out for a quick spin around the block .... runs perfect now.

4-Door Bronco is not 100% done .... the only thing now missing are the centurion decals and emblems. But first a full detail and buff and polish.

AND YES after 30 months of restoration work, I AM GOING TO SELL HER !

if anyone on classic would like to have her ...let me know.
w. that said and since:

A, only a few of them C350 7.3s still exist and
B, non have transacted in any public sale / auction in over a decade

i will list her in a few weeks w. BAT or Cars and bids. she got now 154k miles.

NOW . would you all spend the +$1500.- to have the underside ice blasted / cleaned OR leave it as is.
aka Showing exactly whats what and the 30 years of south Florida grime and light surface rust on mechanical bits ??????????????

I would do the ice blasting, but only if you are going to have extensive pictures done to realize the gain.
