Absolutely. I tried a lot of methods before finding the right one. 😂 i found a 4800 psi pressure washer will take off anything loose. Thanx for the sub I subbed ya back. Keep up the good work. 👍🏻
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 We knew back in the early 1900s when they tried electrical vehicles that would never work that's why they decided not to do it the only vehicles that work properly are diesel electric y'all go ahead and you keep your funny ass electronic cars and raise your electric bills and screw the infrastructure up that can't even handle it with the grid all I can say is we told you so 😂😂😂😂 I'll stick with my diesel and gas vehicles till the day that I die or we can have Civil War over it I'm good either way 😂😂😂 because I love the Constitution as well as my gas and diesel vehicles dogs guns trucks cars. Everything else is just a waste of money 😂😂😂😂
Hey thank you. It was without a doubt a very long build. Original rebuilt motor stroked to a 408 with Original rebuilt HD C7 transmission. It is a beast.
The water jacket walls when cast in the water jacket area were thinner. There is a full history on the web. Foundry casting codes and date codes are significant for M-block engine blocks because some blocks that were cast before March 2, 1977 at the Michigan Casting Center are prone to water jacket cracking in the lifter valley area. Blocks cast at the Michigan Casting Center after that date do not have the cracking problem. To avoid the water jacket cracking problem, watch out for engine blocks with the Michigan Casting Center foundry mark and a date code of 7C02 or earlier.
If you're still feeling generous I have a 59 Chevy Apache NAPCO, I need help rebuilding the front end and steering linkage. Both identifying the parts and purchasing them.
If I didn’t have my hands full right now. Absolutely beautiful truck to take on. Parts are hard to come by on those, but assured if complete truck, it’s not an impossible task. Looking at a full year for that one because of it’s antique necessities. Dig it and would love to see pictures!
Good job. I'm putting new quarter panels on mine now and have not been able to find replacement clips for the roof that go in the rails. Were you able to find any?
Those clips are oversized body clips like fender clips. Bronco Graveyard or one of the Ford restoration sites should have them. If not look at an automotive store, maybe even Fastenal.
I accidentally may have thrown that template out. If you still need the measurements and angles let me know and I’ll take pictures and create it for you then maybe send the template in the mail.
Zero rust was the product. However, i used chassis saver on my Jeep frame and like the build up and sealing quality of it better. Either way, prior to paint always use a rust stop of some sort.
Yeah they were and no one understands that. It was a farm rig and could pull hard. That 351M was a workhorse. Now this has it’s original drive train but beefed up to 408 with Mild torque cam, 2400 stall heavy duty C6.
Great work! My son found a 1986 Bronco XLT with a 351W just seating outside for 10 years and got it for $100... Despite the harsh conditions she survived with minimal rust and this is the kind of work we want to do on the XLT.. Thank you for posting!
@@VintRestGarage Lucky guy; it was a very nice restoration ; we'll still continue buying spare parts for my son's XLT ;these crazy gas prices will not last forever no matter what Brandon does... Noticed you also changed its wheels. Ours have the chrome partially gone;I wonder if it worth have them cleaned then silver powder coat them or buy new wheels...
@@solarflare4259 spare tire carrier, vent glass and frames, like new manifolds and gaskets for 351M, the tire carrier tailgate brace, working rear window motor, 90 Model front seats some new stainless brake lines
It has been challenging and, not a show truck but we love it. This Bronco has been completely disassembled for restoration. I think it’s worth the $24,500
@@VintRestGarage no problem, I understand. I am sure your getting a lot of interest in the vehicle. I just want to try and stay ahead of the competition, lol.
Thanks Todd. Hope we get asking price of $22-24,500. Complete driver restoration with all newly rebuilt original driver train. 351 modified to 408 More HP now with C6 HD.
@@timothycrocker3202 I do I’ll share them with you as soon as you email me. Still tidying things up and finishing up minor details will be ready spring
