    Proper backspacing for Method Racing 305 wheels

    I'm looking to put NV 305 8.5 wheels and 285/75/17 BFG's on my truck that's cut and has flares. I'd like for the tires to fit close to flush with the flares, but I'm not seeing anything consistent on proper backspacing to achieve this. I did see something about someone using 1/4" in front and...

    Has anyone successfully re-commissioned old CA license plates?

    It's always bugged me a bit that my CA Bronco has non-period correct white plates. I was at the Good Guys car show yesterday and came across a pair of CA blue plates in very good shape. The guy said I can easily have them re-commissioned through the DMV. Didn't totally believe him, but for...

    anyone know where I can get a Centech wiring harness

    I know they're incredibly back-ordered and I've placed an order...just figured I'd check in case there's an option to get one sooner. Thanks!

    Does anyone have a Scott Drake 6-bolt Corso Foroci steering wheel?

    Pretty random question I know...but I've got an Ididit tilt steering column in my '74 that's currently mounted to an old Momo wheel with 6 bolts. I'd really like to put in a 15" wood wheel and would rather not pay extra for a new adapter. The 6 bolt Corso seems to fit the bill, but it has a...

    Front speaker enclosure

    Has anyone done something similar to this for front speakers? Saw this on BAT, the guy said he had it custom made by a stereo shop in New Jersey but they never called me back. It looks pretty clean, would love to know if anyone has done something similar... https://imgur.com/a/km2RKFw

    new exhaust backfiring

    put in the duff exhaust kit with TBP headers and I'm getting loud pops when I rev the engine. My son has sound sensitivity issues, doesn't want to drive in the truck :( . I put in new 8.5mm spark plug wires when I had the kit installed. Any ideas what I should check first?

    What's wrong with my gas tank?

    So, I started up the Bronco yesterday morning, the gas gauge was showing below E which was very odd because it wasn't that low when I parked it. Nervously drove down to the gas station, and made it thankfully. The stock tank took 11.9 gallons so it was definitely empty. Drove down the rode...

    Has anyone used this place?

    https://lsswap.parts/product/f150-coyote-5-0l-360hp-and-380lb-ft/ Upgrading the power on my truck is next on my list. Was planning to fix up my OEM 302, but this seems hard to pass up. How difficult is the install, and can I match it up to my nv 3550?

    Quick question on rampage soft top

    I pretty much got the top put together yesterday, just need to go back and tighten some things up and install the rear tailgate rail. I know the instructions (if you can call them that lol) say to measure 1/2" from the top of the tailgate. I would assume I can just rest the cross bar on top of...

    Cost effective trailer?

    Guys, any recommendations for a trailer to tow the Bronco that won't break the bank? Appreciate any thoughts.

    bunch of really dumb questions about changing belts

    So, my alternator went bad recently, I replaced it last weekend. I've got a '74 with emissions still on it including the smog pump, which makes the alternator change quite a bit more of a PITA due to the lower location. I've also got power steering, so when I looked at changing the belt, seems...

    Opinions on side steps

    I have a set of ProCar seats in my Bronco. Really like them overall, but the high side bolster makes it really difficult to get in especially with 3 1/2" overall lift. Been searching for the right solution with side steps, and have been leaning towards the power amp setup, though it means...

    changing out the alternator in my '74 CA Bronco with smog equipment

    my '74 needs a new alternator, and still has all it's original smog stuff on. Sure would be easier to change out the alternator without the thermactor system on the truck. More trouble than it's worth, should I just keep it as is? Appreciate any feedback from those who have done it. I bought...

    Damn, I need a new sunroof.

    don't hear that very often here, right? :) PO put an aftermarket sunroof in my truck (clearly many years ago). Well, was backing out of my garage this past weekend, and somehow the garage door had come down about a foot or so without me noticing. I back into the bottom of the garage door with...

    what else do I need for a top end rebuild?

    Looking to do a rebuild of the top-end of my '74. Plan is currently to do the Edelbrock Performer package with FiTech EFI. I know I'll need to do the fuel management system (I run two tanks, seems the easiest way), and will need to purchase pushrods and rocker arms. I want to make sure I...

    would these valve covers work?

    looking at getting these valve covers: http://shop.broncograveyard.com/Ford-Racing-Valve-Covers-Die-Cast-Black-Crinkle/productinfo/10783J/# but says they don't work with EFI manifolds. I'm looking at paring the Edelbrock Performer package with FiTech EFI. While I will be putting in EFI, the...
