just want to take a few mins to introduce myself. i live in castle rock have been here going on three years now. i work as a driver for iron mountian. its a job thats about all i can say. been looking at going back to school soon so doing what i can with what i can. i have a 1969 bronco that i have owned for about 2 years now. it is all stock but i have many drerams like i know most of us do. i have a np 435 to put in it as well as the 205 that was mated with it. i have a new clutch and flywheel play on during at the same time. right now in the process of cutting floor boards out and kick panels. i plan on keeping posted on what is going on with the project. here are a few pics of it couple months ago nothing much has been done since them. plan on putting the hood back on soon. http://s1078.photobucket.com/albums/w485/goaliepens35/

Welcome Josh. Glad to have you! Thanks for sharing your pictures! Looks like a nice rig.

With photobucket, it makes it easy to share photos. All you do is hover over the photo you want to share, click in the box that starts with [IMG... and that will copy the text in that box. Then paste that text into a reply here. Repeat the process for more pictures. (see below) The hard part is coming up with some sort of organization for them. My advise is to create a sub album called "bronco" or Bronco restore" or something and put your existing photos in that. You can even create more sub-albums like "Body" or "drivetrain" and get real specific. But that allows you to organize other photos like if you make it to a breakfast meeting sometime and have pictures from it, you can make a sub-album for them. I like to use YY-MM-DD "description of event" for my album names. That keep them organized alpha-numerically and the latest is always at the bottom of the list.

here's a couple of your pictures I posted simply by copy/pasting that txt:

The issue with what I just did was that if you move these photos into a new album like I described above, these links are broken. That's why it's important to organize them before you post them.

Sorry - I guess I am a bit of a fanboi for photobucket because it's so easy. And you can do the same thing for nearly every other virtual bulletin board.

J.D.

OH, one more thing. While the 205 already mates to the Np435 - you will need a custom cross-member and you may end up spending as much on that as you would the adapter to a D20. That being said, the 205 doesn't fit very well either. My FIL did this same thing to his '67. If I inherit it someday, the stock stuff will go back in!

Welcome! Looks like a nice rig! I'd also suggest running the Dana 20. Unless you're running big tires, they're plenty strong and have a lower gear ratio (2.46 or 2.34 depending on the year). I'm also in the middle of replacing floor boards and kick panels. I've got the bonus of also having to do the inner and outer rockers and door post. Yay.
