Nice rig and pics! Nothing beats cruising topless on a nice day. I've also noticed how much quieter it is with the top off. Even going from a soft top in safari mode (no windows) to topless, there is a big difference. It seems like the more you try to seal up the cabin the louder it gets!

Maybe something got knocked loose. This exact problem has happened to me a few times after working behind the dash... I'll have no blinkers but hazards work fine. I'll check for loose wires or bad connections, unplug then re-plug any plugs, then the blinkers magically start working again. I...

Mine doesn't fold but it tilts forward. If you check out this thread you can see what I did - http://classicbroncos.com/forums/showthread.php?t=223433

Very cool photo!

I did mine with the radius arms still bolted to the frame. Maybe it's not the best way to do it, but everything came out level. Maybe I just got lucky.

Very cool video. Looks like it was a fun time.

I got mine from Bronco Graveyard. Here's the 31 spline - http://shop.broncograveyard.com/Ford-9-Inch-Detroit-Truetrac-31spline/productinfo/22255A/

For mostly street use, my vote is the TrueTrac. I just put one in. On the street, I only notice it when doing very sharp turns, like in a parking lot. Other than that it's very smooth. I had a Detroit locker in a daily driver. It definitely took some getting used to.

This year's was a great time and we're already looking forward to the next. Calendars marked!

As far as measurements from the frame rail to output yoke, on my '66, I roughly have 13" on the drivers side and 10" on the passengers side. Based on my measurements you would need to go about an inch to the passengers side and by the looks of your picture, this would line up the transmission...

I always thought column shifters were fun for some reason! When mine had the 3 speed, it had the floor shifter. It does take away some leg room but the thing shifted better than any transmission I've ever shifted. The lack of leg room never bugged me, but I can see how it could bug other people.

Gotcha, thanks again!

Awesome, thanks Scoop! So is the wheeling self guided then? I was thinking it was a guided group thing.

I'll be getting in Friday evening and will only be able to participate in Saturday's fun. The Saturday cruise looks fun, but I also want to do some light wheeling. Is there any way to do the cruise and then some wheeling afterwards, or is it a "one or the other" type thing?

If you decide to go the 3 speed route, I have a hurst floor shifter kit available that I pulled off the Bronco when I went to the Nv3550. I'm running 33's and 4.11 gears with mine and I think it's pretty close to perfect. With 3.50's and 31's you may not use overdrive much, but on the other...
