Just scored!...I hope?

I just bought this sight unseen.
He's already done the spring perches, front. No track bar mount. I forgot to ask about drive shafts.
The engine is an '87 model. Supposed to have "new" injectors and re-man pump "just before" donor truck was crashed.

I'm going to pick it up Monday.

Jeez', I forgot to ask about brakes too.

I would really like to know who's done a Bronco retrofit... and better understand the challenges that I've signed up for.
Input is greatly appreciated.

Does it have drive shafts connected to those axles? And the correct master cylinder? I assume an 07 would have disk rear brakes.

I forgot to ask about drive shafts...no big deal though.

I assume disk too. I don't assume to know how to make them work.

Nice score... I'm not sure the 5 lug wheels are going to support the engine.

I didn't even notice that, he says it has 2007 f350 axles shouldn't they be 8 lug?

Front hubs look a little on the small side for that also.

83 Bull Nose body style
87 Bricknose doors seats dash

Stock axles by looks of things 5 on 5 1/2" bolt pattern

So not sure if correct rad installed?

Bottom line looks like great unit..could be pics before 08 axles got installed

Hope its all he portrays it to be.

Craigslist ad: pics b4 axle install.
I didn't ask about the core support...again, no big deal, I have one here.

I finally got to see the Bronco.
It does have '07 F350 axles under it...with 6" of lift.
It needs needs the track bar bracket fabed/installed and drive shafts. Other than that, no big issues, wiring mainly.
The engine install is clean and correct core support is in it.

When I get it here I'll start the build thread. Let the fun begin!

 

[icanfixall]

Well Bob's your uncle... What this forum really needs is a current pic of this rig with the new axles under it. Then let the fun begin.. Remember none of this ever happened without pics.. We live vicariously thru pics....

The drive shafts: thought I'd get a quote from Fort Worth gear and axle for customs

The m/c: I've read that the early Lightening m/c is a bolt on that will work since they were 4 wheel disk trucks

The axles: only the radius arms, bolts through spring perch and clip at the top holding axle in place.
If I use the recovery hooks as anchor points, for tie downs, and axle straps too, do you think I'm safe to trailer it 120 miles?

 

[Shawn MacAnanny]

A trailer not a dolley right? I think it'd be OK. I've used Dennys for 2wd drive shafts they make anything though

 

[Kizer]

YES SIR: Trailer.
I'll look for Dennys
