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...

Just gotta chime in here in agreement with Paco and UTfan68 - the guys here are definitely laid back and my biggest relief has been that someone will almost always answer my questions, even though I'm a newb. :)As for regretting the sale of a past Bronco and wanting another - I thought (for...

To be honest, I've never checked - however, I do have a past magazine that bookmarked that has the formula to calculate it so looks like I need to get busy gathering info. As you can see, I'm a newb.I do know the Bronco is completely stock except for the hack lift if that helps - it has had...

Thanks everyone for your advice - think I'll go with the poker chips and hockey pucks. :)Please understand - the 4" lift it has now was the worst hack job I've seen - they raised the truck alright but didn't spend 1 brain cycle on getting the front end geometry back to factory specs. So I've...

I would like any and everyone's opinion on the best lift kit for my '78 Bronco?I'm not so much interested in the cheapest, but in how easy it is to install and the one least likely to have weird problems afterward.I'm not a master mechanic - I've pulled a few motors, had them built and...

No, not asking to buy it. I was actually thinking of how many 78-79's I see that don't have a top on them. Maybe they know something I don't but I just figured you could get any price you asked if they ARE rare and IF you changed your mind to sell it...Still an awesome Bronco - I hope I can...

Sir 429...Do you still have the hard top or did you sell it? Mine actually has a decent hard top but the one in your pick looks much better.Thanks. rpoe

I actually agree with you on the downfall of the magazine. My latest favorite mag is Bronco Driver, except that you'll strain your eyes looking for a full size 78-79 Bronco featured. There is one in an ad in the mag but somehow that's just not quite enough. :)Thanks for your response. I...

I hope this is not TOO off topic, but how many of you guys subscribe to Peterson's 4Wheel Drive and Offroad? Some guy wrote in asking how to get one of their license plates - happens all the time. Rick Pewe responded that you had to either come to one of their trail rides or have your truck in...

Ok, pic is still small. I was able to enlarge it using PB but then the resolution stunk.Do I need to change something on my digi camera?Sorry I'm technically challenged!

Thanks again for the info. Let's try this...Feel free to help me out with more info if I get it wrong. :)rpoe

Ok, I'm a computer loser - can someone tell me how to post a pic in the message part of the post? Someone did tell me know in the past but I've lost the email. Something about a small string of characters before and after the pic if I'm sending just the file>?I do have a Photobucket album...

Great info - thanks for your help! r

Santa brought me this for Christmas - I was a good boy this year! :) http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_12605_00916762000PIt is a 33 gal, 1.6 hp, 150 PSI maximum. Says it will provide 6.3 SCFM at 40 PSI, 4.9 at 90 PSI.Does anyone know if it is big enough (tank size, motor size, cfm) to...

Anybody out there tonight?I know I'm a newb, but I wanted to wish all of you guys a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year from Alabama!Is Santa bringing anyone some Bronco parts this year? I'm assuming his sleigh will hold some 1 ton axles - although getting them down the chimney...

That's a SWEET sticker! I want one...rpoe
