Jeebus, you really went crazy with the saw huh?

I figure till I get the other cab ready, i will pickup a set of 37s and run them with no lift.

Shoot...37's...I was thinking more along the lines of 54" Boggers with all that fender missing...hahaha.

well if it were me i would save the ole freewheeler... shes had a hard life and dont need any more trouble. saying that i got my freewheeler bronk for 750 and all she needed was a fuel pump. i must say i didnt really like the stripe package at first for mine but it really grew on me. and to let you know that steering wheel you have will be worth a good little chunk of change.

 

[nobodyspecial]

I think its too far gone to save. I have a line on another bronco with light body damage I may pick up dirt cheap (brother in law) I am pretty sure the cab from the F100 (rust free) will go on this frame.

Is there a company that makes replacement topper windows for a Bronco? I don't need glass, but maybe hardened lexan or something like that, preferably tinted.

 

[nobodyspecial]

Here is the plan (just a quick photoshop)

Did you finally get it to quit leaking less fluids than you were putting in?

I know for toppers with solid panes they do in fact have replacement glass, even though that doesn't sound like what you want..

 

[nobodyspecial]

I don't need replacement glass, I just need something cheap that isn't cracked with bullet holes in it.

I have not messed around with the 400, I am trading it to my dad for a rebuilt 300/NP435. That should happen this spring once it gets warmer and I get back to the farm for a bit.

Go buy a pane of plexi and the local hardware store. That stuff is easy to score and break.

Try an marine upholstery shop that makes stuff for boats. They use all sorts of HD clear plastic.

 

[nobodyspecial]

Doesn't plexiglass scratch really easily?

I will check if any of the marine shops around here have anything that will work.

 

[O'Rattlecan]

Yeah it scratches without much effort.

The tracks for the windows are wider then any plexiglass you'll want to pay for, so the seals wont fit.

Seems I just saw some windows for sale recently. I'll look.

 

[nobodyspecial]

I was thinking about that. My plan was just to silicon them in place. I don't want to pay for new actual windows.

Can't seem to find them, must be sold.

Looks like we might be starting the engine swap this weekend/early next week.
