I can't find the thread with the link to the video of the 10.xx second drag race showing a red and white full size Bronco - I think it was a '78/'79.I hate to bug you guys but I love that video. Can someone help me out?BigRed

I know it gets old giving advice to newbs, but I AM buying an air grinder for xmas and really need some input from as many of you as feel up to it.I looked at a $59 Craftsman today and it just looked cheap. I saw an Ingersoll Rand for $74 on the internet, but it looked really heavy. Looked...

Thanks very much for the advice. I guess I'll know after xmas since Santa's bringing it.Later.-rp-

I found an HVLP spray gun from Harbor Freight and I'm thinking about buying it. I know it will be a cheep tool, but surely it will spray on a better looking paint job than the original Krylon spray can job, so I'm not expecting much. :)Do any of you have any experience with this gun (or...

I swapped out the old 351 from my 78 Bronco and bought a "Fred Jones" 400motor from Ford. Everything went well until I drove it, and then when I opened the hood the whole engine compartment was covered in oil. I wrestled with the thing for years and then I sold it to a friend. He looked at it...

I KNOW I'm biased, living in Alabama and bein' an Alabama fan. (6-0, y'all) :)Plus, my 78 has the same color combo so I'm instantly a fan of your new ride.If I was ever going to be unfaithful to my wife, it would have to be with a '78 or '79! ;)Later-rp-

Do what I did - go right now and buy that sucker back!! I dreamed that I was driving it many nights after I sold it and woke up feeling bad every time. So, I bought it back. :)-rp-

Ha! I'm actually 46 - apparently I got BOTH of you beat! :)Oooo, now I feel oooold.....Later. rp

While he's at it, get your Dad to bring home some scrap tubing for me, too! :) It's only 5 hours to Knoxville from here.rp

See, you've gained wisdom over time! You are absolutely correct that the best idea is to go the cheep way for now.And Sir Smokey, you're suggestion is an extremely good one - I haven't thought about that route - lots of wisdom there. You must be older than UTF and me! j/kLater. rpoe

Be patient, I'm still pondering the answer! :)I am currently leaning toward saving money toward a very good aftermarket rear bumper spare carrier with hopefully room for carrying jerry cans.I would love to custom build my own, but my welding skills are quite small. However, that doesn't...

I always hated the necessity of having to lose space and add weight to the Bronco. At first my answer was to simply always roll on new tires. Then when I learned that's a foolish strategy so I thought that the answer was simply adding all the equipment and tools to repair a flat tire...

Great info, fellas! Thanks for taking the time to share the experience.I have Goodyear MT's on one of my trucks, Goodrich AT's on the other, and mud tires made in Taiwan on the Bronco. :) Guess I'm covered!-rp-

The 4 letter word (snow) is being mentioned here in the Deep South on Monday. I hope it happens because driving in the snow with a large, V8 powered Ford product is one of life's great pleasures. 1993 was the last time we got to drive in the snow in our area.I envy you guys in snow country -...

Wise words, my friend - age has a way of bringing wisdom to you, although sometimes kicking and screaming. (I'm 46 - I hope I've learned SOMETHING by now... :)I hate to print a 4 letter word (Jeep) but I had an '86 CJ7 when I was 22 - bought it for $6k completely stock with 41k miles, sold it...
