In the last 2 weeks I installed a 1 inch body lift, new oil pump, crankshaft scraper, clutch, and a twin stick shifter. Note lifting a 40+ year old and very rusted body created more problems, big rust crack on cowl just got bigger.
Next will be to do something with the cowl.

Re: What have you done to your Bronco today? (v.2)
In the last month, rebuilt the NP435, installed a seal kit for the D20, new clutch in the 351w.
Pulled off the Holley fuel Injection, installed a new Holley Street Dominator intake manifold for a spreadbore carburator.
Installed a Q Jet carburator, new carter electric fuel pump, new fuel lines and filters.
I am so ready to drive this thing!

Re: What have you done to your Bronco today? (v.2)
Ah yes. Thanks. That was fun, finding the correct vacuum modulator.
If shopping at Auto Zone, ask for a 1977 Bronco as the 73-76 options only return vacuum modulators for FMX and C6 transmissions.

Re: What have you done to your Bronco today? (v.2)
Since Moab I have been too busy with work and yard work to do much other than an occasional trip to the froyo with the kids...............
Installed mount for iPad Mini
Installed new turn signal switch. I should get fewer dirty looks for not signaling.
Installed upper bearing on the steering shaft. This fixed the slop and amazingly enough eliminated the vibration I was feeling in the wheel at certain speeds.

I used one from RAM.
Very secure, but the downside is you can't swivel / adjust it with taking the whole thing loose.

My Dad reports that he opened the shipping container, as he's done every couple months, connected the battery, turned the key to prime the pump and one little bump on the starter and she roars to life each and every time! Makes me feel awful good for the given situation!

I was really impressed with the quality and fit.. It is VERY stout and fits perfectly. It does have adjustments for the doors.. which is super nice since my red bronco had its door posts replaced by Stevie Wonder.

Finished the 23gallon tank install. Put a few gallons in it to make sure it works and went for a drive to get dinner. Got a lot of attention at dinner with it.
