Thanks, guys! I didn't see the one from ProtoFab when I looked at their site, and I totally forgot about Hanson. I should've checked Duff's, too. Anyway, thanks for the info.

I'm looking for the "Rock Blocker" rear bumper that Wild horses used to advertise. It had the options of a fuel can and a ice chest carrier. Now that I'm ready to get one I can't find one. I checked ProtoFab's website and I didn't see one listed. I also checked Bailie Bilt's site. Thanks.

My '75 had one. I bought it in 1990 and I thought that someone added it. I figured it came off of a Lincoln continental. No internet to search back then. After seeing another one with it I figured it was apart of the Ranger package.

I will renew my membership tomorrow so that I can post pics.

Is it possible for a bronco body to be misaligned on the frame? In other words, can it be offset to one side or the other? Or does the design of the body mounts prevent this.

I'm leaning toward the procar seats on the Wild horses site. The part number is 3650. If any of you guys are running these I'd like know what you think of them. Thanks.

What is the best way to check the frame to see if it's square? Not sure if this is helping me or not, but I used a plumb bob, and I hung it from a static point on the rear shackle mounts, and then did the same at the forward shackle mounts and then measured diagonally to each point. They were...

I'm going to do a lot of measuring today. I need to renew my membership here so I can post pics. I never noticed if this problem existed with the old bumper.

I've been moving slow on my '69, but I finally started to mount my winch bumper from WH. The bumper isn't lining up on the sides of the body. I have the Bobcat 8274 winch bumper, and the the right side has about 3" of clearance between the bumper and fender. The left side has about a 1/4". When...

I used Rust-Oleum truck bed coating. It's a rattle can, and it last a long time. It has a no slip texture to it which I like. If you're like me and you grab the roll bar when getting in, it's nice to not have your hand slip off if you're sweaty or the bar is dusty or wet. It's worth trying a...

We haven't seen $3.50 a gallon for quite a while. Costco has the cheapest fuel prices here at $4.49. So 280 gallons here would be $1257. We'll be using the wifes Camry for the long trips. I miss the $1.99 a gallon back in the spring of 2020.

Thanks for all the advice. I wish I would have taken pictures of the B pillar and rocker after I purchased the Bronco. At some point in it's life it rolled on to it's left side. Who ever repaired it welded the strike plate to the B pillar, and fiber glassed the top of the rocker. Shitty work at...

I need to replace the driver side lower quarter panel, the rocker panel, and the B pillar. This is my first time doing something like this. My question is, in what order should they be replaced once everything is removed? It seems pretty straightforward when I look at how they overlap, but I'd...

Oh yes, the "doohickey" mod. Having owned 2 Klr bikes, this would be my answer, too.

Thanks for the replies. I'll take a better look at it tomorrow.
