My valve stems don't extend far enough out with the stock wheel covers to check/adjust tire pressure. Strait extentions hit the cover in such a way that you can't reinstall the covers. This has me thinking that a longer valve stem may cause the same problem? Has anyone else ran into this...

On our tour of National Parks this summer I ended up parked next to a guy flat towing an EB. We only crossed paths for a few minutes and while I was asking about how he had it set up for towing he mentioned that he was considering sending his rear axle to some outfit in California for a...

Hi All, Just looking for Pros and Cons. Price and capacity are obvious but is there anything y'all have learned from experience with either? I'm carbed, maybe EFI in the coming months, maybe not. Factory selector is working perfectly. I will eventually install an 18ish gallon AeroTank. Not...

Hi All, Looking for the spring that keeps tension on the wiper blade. The passenger side original on my '71 Sport broke. I'm willing to buy the whole wiper or a whole set to get it. Let me know if you have a spare your willing to sell. Thanks for looking. Cheers, Mark

Looks like I'll be moving to Hong Kong for at least a couple of years. Looking for advice on long term storage. I must have weak search-fu because I didn't turn up much when I tried. Thanks folks!

Have you done it? Is it a PITA? I'm looking to reduce noise in my driver. Searched and read up on the name brand stuff and cheaper alternatives, more or less have a plan. It's a great truck but I'm driving it into a restoration. Might be two years away, might be 10...I don't know. Not sure...

I'm in the market for a roof rack. Originally wanted a NOS dealer installed type bit I'm not sure I want to commit to drilling holes in the roof yet. Now I'm thinking a drip rail mount. I've got a sport with the drip rail moulding so if possible I'd like a chrome or polished aluminum/stainless...

I'm sorry I don't have baseline readings for you guys but I wont have time to hit an alignment shop for a few weeks so I'm going to ask anyway. My truck is a '71 Dana 30 stock suspension and no power steering. The camber on the front tires is visible from the front and when I bought the truck...

Hi Guys, I'm putting this up for a gal I met yesterday who's looking to sell her husbands old Bronco. I went and looked at it and it wasn't what I was looking for so I told her I'd post it up here for her. If your interested PM me, I'm helping her field interested parties initially. I have...

So I went to Costco today and this Lady saw me coming, stopped right where she was and visually followed me until I parked. Turned out I parked next to her. Thought she was just admiring the Bronco but it turns out she has one to sell and wanted to know if I was interested. It's a '74 Sport...

Go to start my truck at work this morning and it just starts to idle and dies. Crank and crank and nothing. Pop the hood, check for fuel in the filter, looks good. Close hood and try again. Now there's smoke rolling from under the hood. Grab extinguisher and use most of it putting it out...

So I was sitting a red light when the lady behind me decides it's time to go and punches the gas. It was low speed so there were no injuries but she bent up the right quarter of my truck a little. Bumper is bent, tail light cracked, tailgate doesn't line up with the quarter anymore and there...

I've done a bit of research and it looks strait forward. My local parts house will let me borrow a vacuum pump and manifold gauges. My only concerns are that I'll be charging out of the small cans from from the part store and because I don't have access to a refrigerant scale, I'll be using my...

Vintage air wiring diagram says the compressor needs a chassis ground but I don't really see a dedicated grounding location. Do I just pick a bolt that doesn't penetrate the case? There's one spot (pictured below) but I figured that just a retainer to keep the power lead out of the...

Trying to wire up my new ac system and I need to connect a lead to the run post on the switch. Got the switch out of the dash just fine but the terminals aren't labeled. Also looks like a tight fit so assume that I'll have to splice? Thanks folks.

What size belt are you folks with AC running. VA installation said to use a "series 17" belt but the guy at napa didn't know what that meant. He gave me a half inch smooth "industrial belt" but it seems to sit high in the compressor pulley, and about perfect in the crank pulley. I'm running...

I'm running in to a few clearance issues installing the condenser on a VA Gen IV kit (not the BCB kit). I was initially hitting the safety catch for the hood latch hook and could not snug the condenser up. A few careful minutes with the grinder and I was able to provide the clearance needed...

Hi Folks, I'm at the end of day 1 on a VA AC install. While on my back fitting the condenser I noticed some possible problems. Specifically it looks to me like the crank pulley has some corrosion damage/chips and the balancer appears to have the same and maybe some compromised rubber. I've...

Hi Guys, Pulling the cooling system apart to install my VA A/C. Got a little sloppy with the penetrating oil and got some over spray on my crank pulley. Will degreaser and a rinse get 'er dry again. Don't want any squeaks and slippage when it goes back together...Thanks.

Since I bought my EB in January I've put 4500 miles on it and with one small exception (lesson learned, wont trouble me again) it's been running great. Starts on the first try hot or cold, pulls strong, idles great. I'm not claiming it's in perfect tune, but I'm slowly working that direction...
