Nickname: Blackie The Friesian Half Cab
Mileage:
Engine: Bone stock(as far as I know) 351M
Drivetrain: C6 tranny, NP 205 transfer case, Dana 44 front end, Ford 8.8" rear end, 4.11 front, 3.08 rear, 33" Hankook Dynopro MTs
Notes: Got free from a friend of a friend, towed to friends place, starter cylenoid , radiator hose, install rear driveshaft that was with it, new battery and drove it home... had blown front diff-spider gears.

Now 2 years and almost $5000 later I have rebuilt the front axle from hub to hub, got a '79 parts truck, and converted to a 'half cab' pickup. Have all parts on hand or almost here to rebuild the 8.8 rear, the trans and do the seals in the transfer case. New 33" Hankook Dynopro MTs and chrome steelie rims with baby moon caps.

10/14/10Repair power steering pump removed


I pulled my leaking power steering pump off the bronco today. Hoses were tight and not leaking, but it still dripped, and at times streamed fluid off the bottom of it. Pretty sure it is leaking from the resivoir housing meets the pump itself; While pulling it I realized that the tin outer housing will spin on the pump itself. That can't be good.

Got one thats identical to it on my 73 parts truck, went and pulled it too. But the pulley is smaller and offset too far from the housing... Gonna swap pulleys if i can.
