1995 4.9L from F-150. Completely transplanted, including computer, air filter, y-pipe, & all accessories. 130A alternator, 1996 Bronco gas tank & pump. K&N drop-in.
Drivetrain:
1978 F-250 NP-435; original '83 NP-208F with around 350Kmi of HARD use; Six States rear d'shaft; rebuilt front d'shaft; '96 Bronco D44IFS with original rebuilt '83 diff 3.07; rebuilt Ford 8.8" 3.08; F&R antisway bars & Energy polyurethane bushings all around.
Notes:
The body tub is an '82, the tailgate is a '96, the doors are '80 & '85, the front clip is '84, and the camper shell is a '96 with a '94 Explorer roof rack & '82 sliding windows. The rear seat & dash are the original '83 parts, but the instrument cluster has been heavily modified with '88 fuel & volt gauges and a '94 PSOM. The front seats are mixed captain's chairs and the door panels are '93 XLTs with PM, PW, & PL, with '94 power mirrors. I've added autolamps, an auto-dimming compass rear-view mirror, aftermarket remote keyless entry, The CB, scanner, & radar detector are hard-wired and mounted overhead. Planned mods include auto-dimming brights, & 4WABS with Traction Control. The bumpers are my own design (mostly hand-built). The front includes a fold-down grille guard, energy-absorbing push bumpers, fog lights, 2 storage boxes, recovery points, a spoiler, & a winch mount. Currently, I have a Warn XD9000i, but I'm looking for a Ramsey RE10000 or RE12000X. The rear has an integral hitch receiver & 3 locking storage boxes.

Tan02.JPG 15 hits | 65.6 KB | Posted: 10/6/08 I didn't feel like painting the whole thing at once (& I couldn't find enough newspaper), so I just started with the door bottom. I actually painted it open, which is why there's only masking at the front.
Tan01.JPG 16 hits | 51.94 KB | Posted: 10/6/08 I got sick of seeing the all-black door & fender faster than I expected, so after hunting through ~5 stores to find the Rustoleum tan that USED TO be the most common (7771 Sand), I started taping. I decided to curve the corners instead of squaring t...
PSOMface.JPG 22 hits | 65.97 KB | Posted: 10/3/08 Ford warns about leaving a PSOM face-down causing some discoloration, and this MIGHT be an example of that. But I don't think this one has ever been stored face-down, so this might simply be the LCD delaminating, like some rear-view mirrors do.

B4.JPG 4084 hits | 78.47 KB | Posted: 7/13/03 '80-96 rotor replacement requires removing the hub assembly & driving out the lug studs. On '93-96 Broncos only, the tone ring must be removed.
On '87-early '88 with factory (flange-style) manual hub locks, the hub-rotor is one piece.
Glass.JPG 4064 hits | 106.83 KB | Posted: 7/14/03 If the window switches work, the L latch must be fully closed to defeat the safety interlock switch so the motor will run.
If the window can't be moved by either switch, find the motor connector shown and apply 12V power to the 2 exposed wires to ...
