Been on the board for a few months just lurking.
Purchased my 1973 EB last April in California. I have wanted on of theses for a while and have other off-road vehicles to tear up, this is going to be a family cruiser. Here is a little bit about it and my short term plans. Looking forward to getting know the other EB owners and getting advice
1973 EB Explorer package 87000 miles
Purchased in So Cal. back in 1973
A pile of documentation came from the seller (bills of sale, every receipt, maintenance, etc.) from first owner to current- Truck has only been in Arizona and California
Brand new paint and interior not sure if it is original interior color
Ginger houndstooth interior orange door panels (probably re-done)
302, .030 over done by a shop in San Dimas, CA
Headers
Edelbrock carb.
after market valve covers
C-4 trans was rebuilt in the late 90's
White spokes, no lift, 33's
Older Besttop black vinyl.
Already done:
New tires
Flush radiator and new hoses, belts
Installed a center console and radio, speakers
oil change and maintenance stuff
To do list:
2.5" suspension lift
power brakes may keep drum setup
cooling issues to diagnose-flex fan, radiator ??
new soft top
New seat belts
Get the carb figured out
