Nickname: That dirty old truck
Mileage: 350000
Engine: 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.

Auxilliary Battery Locations

The Y wire ties into the auxilliary lighting circuit (Y and Bk/Y) at a heavy splice inside the dash harness, which connects directly to the battery through a Br fusible link at the starter relay.

'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.

This can be done with the tailgate open or closed. After removing the inside access panel, remove the vapor barrier. This one had 2, but it was obviously accidental.
