There are two different sets of linkage.One for T-shift T-case and one for J-shift T-case.Hope that helps. JGZ

Since my 73 is not done i took my 93 out on Saturday. It broke (rear chromo axle) worked on getting that apart all day. Man i hate C clip 8.8s and E-lockers

I am wondering how to tell.
This is the only pictures I could find and it looks like someone made their own for the long rod.

I have several new linkage arms from a new kit I had and can make one fit for the short but none of them are long enough for the long. I may be able to bend one of the ones I have to fit properly.

Took her for a spin now that she has plates and is all legal
Heard some interesting metal on metal rubbing noises while coasting, need to check the brakes. Also ting coolant out of the radiator so I'm wondering if it needs a new t-stat.

I may just need to trade a couple of you guys a whole lotta to come look it over with me and help me figure out what all I need to do to get it happy and on the road again.

Dan...who can compete with you....!!!! I saw that on the cart this weekend!

Drove Lucy to work today....and was giddy the whole way.....and back!

Thanks to all!

"finished up my spare trans and painted it up"

Seriously Dan - half of us are doing well to have a spare tire. I like to go prepared and all but that is incredible... I mean who has a "spare trans"?

Well I like the way you think. And having watched the boys launching Free Bird into that deep mud hole... I think i have a pretty good idea who the prime candidate is for it... You might need two.

Last week the engine went from this


to this


to this-


Heads are off getting new springs installed for the new cam.
Going with a new Manifold, cam, timing gear, distributor, and water pump.

My RJM harness is beautiful. Made my conversion really easy and really clean. I can't recommend it enough!

I've got three.

Two are 3 speeds I picked up in the event we ran a rebuild class and the other is my Viper-ized C4 that is still waiting to get dropped in.

And x2 on everyone is the club having a back up!

I went to Western Truck and Trailer and got me a new air horn. $20! I Called Holley and got some answers as to why my 470 truck avenger Carb was not working well. They are sending me a new 670 for free, should be here by the weekend. I also took some pictures of the stock pile or york compressors they have, most of the time they just throw them away at Western Truck and Trailer. If you need one go there and get it and an aluminum air tank and all the fittings you could ever need for dirt cheap.

Taking my air horn off truck




Yorks all over

Got my floor shifter in and working. Then took the proportioning valve out to get the bad line off. Put a new line on and back in then bled and have a good pedal. but there is something wrong with the fronts. This is irrelevant as all of the drum front gets swapped to the 8 lug once I have new calipers and wheel bearings and seals.

I have my rear perches to finish welding down also. then I can work on mounting the shocks.

I barely got the Bronco home tonight. About 3 blocks away it popped and wheezed and then would barely run. I had to pump it to keep it kinda running. Got to the top of our street and it quit. Coasted it down the street and into the driveway and that was it. Popped the hood a bit ago and took off the air cleaner and no squirt into the carb. Turned it over several times to no avail. Either pump is fubar, filter is clogged, or clogged fuel line. It's been running flawless and I was trying to think of anything I might need to do to it before Ouray, now I know what I get to look at this weekend, besides the drive shafts getting dropped and greased and all lube checked.

Wish I had a blanket that could catch the ATF that leaks so I wouldn't have to keep topping it off. Oh well keeps it fresher that way.

You do know that it will stop leaking eventually and will still drive.

Yeah but I think we may have a problem climbing hills when there isn't enough fluid in the transmission. Don't want to happen like what happened to me on Black Bear many yrs ago.

Dang Zenzone I need one of those Yorks. Might have to send ZOSO over to get one or two.

Added new Hi-Lift to rear tire carrier and hooked up the license plate lights . . .

Do I see 1973 Colorado plates hiding under that bumper?

Hell to the Yeah - they are never coming off! I am always going to be traveling to a Car Show, Parade, or Club Event

I consider every day I drive the Bronco to be a trip to a Bronco event. Never know when I am going to run in to another Bronco...or three.

Amen to that Brother!! Still wearing the Antique Auto plates I got in TX, which are good for another one or two years!

J.D.

got my ars kicked by a water pump

Installed front seat belts...way overdue. Then rewired alternator to see if that would fix the charging issue. Went to Advance to get everything tested...they closed 5 minutes before I got there. Stoplight screwed me...could see customers coming and going in and out then doors locked when I pulled in...to top it off...got rained on driving home. Had the top off and no rain in the forecast at all. But all is good...just light rain...got it parked and covered before the heavy rain came!

Just nice to actually have some time to mess with the old gal.

If you run in to another issue with "close to closing time" at Advance and are headed to the store on Nevada and Fillmore, call ahead and talk to Vaughn. Good kid and likes Broncos. Just tell him you "work with Zack and Colorado Classic Broncos". I probably just missed you if you were headed to that store. Was down there swapping out a belt for the Bronco.

Thanks...I'm actually a bit closer to the one on Cimmaron/21st...but worth the extra mile if it helps me out in a pinch...you working on your Bronco today?

Drove it to town today and filled it up with liquid cash. I gotta figure out the gas gauge issue, it reads full for ever then drops to 1/2 quickly. Have a super fourth everyone. JP

No work happening with the Bronco today other than putting that new belt on. Think I have my hydroboost issues figured out, on paper at least. Will have to wait to tomorrow to test my theory.

Back when I had the 66 and a bad sending unit, I did some quick math to figure out what my fuel economy was. Then at every fill up, I would write the current mileage and the "fill up deadline" mileage, 1/4 tank estimated remaining, on the roof in black sharpie. Kept me from ever running out of gas again.

Sounds like you have a sending unit issue. Could be sticking in the full position until you hit a bump and it jars the float loose from the top position. If I recall correctly, the float and sending unit are set up on a resistance circuit. The more fuel in the tank, the higher the float sits, and the more resistance is created in the line. As the fuel level decreases, the resistance is lowered and your gas gauge reflects accordingly. I could have that backwards though.

Sounds correct Frank, I replaced the sending unit and probably did not get the float in correctly. Once I start driving it more frequently I will keep up with the mileage. I have already run out of gas and my son nor wife still haven't let me live that down. JP
