Lets get a sticky!!!

It's easy, tell us anything you've done to your Bronco today. It could be as simple as staring at it, or as complicated as finishing a SAS, doesn't matter


I washed mine today, and tried to fix my loose passenger side mirror

Ah, I didn’t realize you were going with a black/blue theme. Sounds good. I’ve been thinking of retouching the fender badge too, similar to the way I did on my old 88 - pic below to jog your memory. Haven’t done that yet though.


Paint markers can be your friend in this scenario :thumbup save the headache of taping off

Just drove 12 hours, one way, to pick up a factory bench seat. Talk about dedication to a returning the Bronco back to showroom condition.

I sold my Bronco yesterday after fixing the multifunction switch, headlight switch, and alternator again. It was a good truck and a bit bittersweet. New owner is a really excited guy in Oregon who's going to fix it up real nice. Thank you all for your help, I learned a lot and this is a great community. Who knows, might be back someday with another one.

Don't beat yourself up over it. I had to sell my Eddie in mid-'14, after my heart went bad, and I had amassed all the parts and assemblies I needed for Eddie's transformation. I needed money, so I sold Eddie and all those parts and assemblies. I would like to get another, but for now, I'm working on transferring Dad's truck to my ownership, for my move to Texas in January.

Started putting my rig back together today :thumbup Everything I've done over the last 2 months, finally coming together :grin2:

Today we put in a solid non stop 7 hours of work...
1.Cleaned up the lower tailgate gasket, and installed the metal strip that goes over it.
2. Wet sanded, washed, rust treated, primed and painted the mounting strips for the cargo panels (the same satin almond color I painted the panels).
3. Repaint the b pillar panels :madder
3.5. Helped asshole neighbor clear brush and prune tree branches between coats on b pillars. (It's the good Christian thing to do :grin2: ) she was appreciative.
4. Installed rear speakers
5. Installed cargo panels
6 mounted rear ash trays
7. Installed b pillar panels
8. Installed passenger side seatbelt hardware cover.

I think that's it... :whiteflag:

I'm back to diganosing a no start due to my bronco making me walk home again.

Already believe the distributor I put in last Saturday went faulty. I've tested every damn thing on this truck related to wiring in the ignition and either I have extremely bad luck with 2 new distributors going bad in less than a week or something is causing them to fail.

Drove it over 200 miles for the first time since replacing the fuel pump. Ran like a scalded dog. Until the shudder occurred at 75 going up hill:doh0715:



Im thinking either the TQ converter or clutches so I might be adding (removed the transmission) to this list soon:banghead

You'll get used to it... uphill back massage at 75 mph's!

Unfortunately for me it wasn't the TQ converter - "further back in the case" is what I was told. Any thoughts on what you are going to do to back up that monster engine?

Its very possible. I had one I chased a random no start on for a while, ended up replacing the distributor and that fixed it for about a month, then it started eating a tfi module in probably less than an hour. After the 3rd tfi, I replaced the distributor again, has running fine ever since....

I've got a local speed shop say for 2k they will build mine to handle this...all the power stroke upgrades...extra clutches, they are guaranteeing it. If I had the money I'd do a different transmission but I'm working with what I got?

Got the tailgate sill plate installed, took off the driver side cargo panel to hook up the amp ground i missed yesterday, then had to take it off again to install the seatbelt hardware cover :madder: also started to install the spare tire rack but decided to wait till the carpet was in. Why put it in just to pull it again in a week.
