DAYTONA NOSE : ROUGH DAY @ MY SHOP , RENE THREATENED ME !!!!!

[WingCharger]

Diggin the old fords.

[The70RT]

I had two 73-79 Ford Trucks over 25 years. I was NEVER was left stranded. My 73 lasted till I was t-boned and my 79 went 235,000 till I let it go. I replaced the trans only once. Those old Fords last forever. The front I beams are  nearly indestructible.

[WingCharger]

They are just about indestructible.

If I sell lime I will let you know

[WingCharger]

Is yours a custom, camper special, ranger, or deluxe? The bed boxes look like a ranger, but there are no bed side tie downs.

Disturbing images...to say the least. 

Is there an Over/Under on when Larry will be sent packing again? You wanna make the call Lar? 

[daytonalo]

100% orig except for plug wires and tires . A local Fire dept bought it new and used until 2002 when I bought it . It has factory 4.10 gears and believe it or not only 29 k , you bump the key and it is 1974 all over again .

Is it a 360, 390, or what?

Auto or Stick?
I read in a magazine guys are awapping full straight 6 cummins into the older ford and chevy's, but if the engine in it now runs like a swiss watch, maybe ill keep the old V8.

[daytonalo]

Sorry , 360-2V Auto -C-6 .I owned it for 4 years , drove it 100 miles , a few times to boat ramp. Where can I get info on Diesel swap , that is what I want to do with my Bronco .

There isnt much info on the internet for the swaps. It more a "Shade tree mechanic deal". Im sure google is your friend here.

I did find this site a while back, and it has a lot of useful info:

Look at the front hub assembly, that'll answer your question.
Larry, there are a lot of guys around me here doing Cummings swaps on the '73 to '79 Ford trucks and even GM trucks '68 to '80. There are 4 in my neighborhood alone. Talk about odd when they pull away from my house. first thought is, it's a new dodge truck, then not! I'll ask next time I speak w/them where and what info. they have to give as well.
I miss my old Bronco everytime I see yours, awesome!

Thanks for site info , for sure a Diesel swap is what I'm going to do , I was going to buy a new truck to pull boat , but now I don't have to . The F-250 is Full time 4 WD , I was going to order a part time kit , it consists of hubs and some other parts for inside the Trans . Not trying to be a Dick , but I got offered 3500 and Believe it or not I said no . outside of dents , this old girl is rust free
