Want to buy my 4" Deaver leaves" I think I need the 6" in the rear to level out. They have a grand total of one wheeling trip on them.

If I loose my patience with WH's yes. But I'm trying to hold out. WH's are a little more stiff so no saggy butt. Thanks Rich

Good report. Glad to hear she held up well!

Thanks Mark

That's a nice looking bronco Rick.

Much of the weather stripping is in need pf replacing. I have or will be purchasing replacements . One of the first to replace was for the rear glass seal on the top.

I don't think this is going to allow for a good barrier.

new

This should have a cap on it.

done

Now a question on a jack in the cab.

Cb port?

 

[RAMPNT1]

Yes, that's the connector for the factory CB radio. Do you still have the mic hanger on the dash?

Yes it's still there. I'll grab a picture of that.

 

[RAMPNT1]

If you aren't going to put a factory CB back in hang on to those pieces. They are hard to come by.

This?

I'd like to find the rest of the pieces to get it functional again.

 

[RAMPNT1]

That's the one. The rest of parts look like this

The antenna will be the hardest part to find (mostly because Ranger429 buys them all) lol

:doh0715: That's who I was going to pm next. With a parts list and what he might have. The big wire harness is there, the box maybe not and I'm pretty sure the antenna isn't either.



This thing has some nice options for a custom and for it's age, ie intermentant wipers, lighted mirror visor. I think I was most excited about the wipers. We all know how no fun it is to reach for the knob every 5-10 seconds.

So Rick any updates on the CB radio?

It appears I have a few parts for the factory one in Filly and maybe a few more in another Bronco (go figure right?) that I've been tinkering with. I just need to get in them both and do a little more poking around. Scott (Ranger429) & Jim (RAMPNT1) sent me some helpful info.

 

[379sinvb]

I replaced a few things on the old girl.

windshields washer hose and tree.

cowl lacing

old crusty fuel filter and hose

 

[379sinvb]

Washed it up and popped the top off it.

 

[379sinvb]

Fighting with these headers I installed. Had a clearance issue pop up on the pass side and a possibly a boiling fuel issue on the driverside.

There is about an 1.5" clearance there between fuel line a header tube. The fuel filter would be a 1/8-1/4 full when hot. I had some adhesive backed heat shielding so I wrapped the fuel line. We will soon see how this does.

As for the pass side clearance here is what I have.

 

[silent one]

Can you tweak that fuel line over and inch or so and maybe drill a new hole for the hold down clamp so its farther away from the header as well. Might need to grind a little bit of the frame for header clearance.

If the heat shield doesn't work I'll reroute the fuel line away from the header. As for the header clearance that's what it's looking like.

 

[79BroncoSpringTx]

So Rick are these headers made for this application? It doesn't look good with rubbing the frame. And I wouldn't want to notch the frame to make room. Curious what the deal is.

 

[379sinvb]

Yes Mark they are for this Bronco, We followed the instructions and felt it was a tight fit on that side. I'm going to give their tech line a call and see what they recommend. A 1/4" ain't much but it's still cutting the frame and there certainly ain't a lot of room to get in there and do that.

Check your motor mounts - if they are good, you may be able to shim them just enough to give you the clearance you need.
