So I just bought an 88 Bronco

Runs great, but only reverse works... Any old school ford guys around. Pics to come once I clean this dirty guy

 

800

 

Bought it right. Going to make a trail rig out of it?

 

Yeah out right... Gonna get it driveable first and see what I'm working with but it's got a solid front axle so it has potential

 

88? wasn't that the OJ Bronco? is it white?

 

the great late ford bronco. i picked one up running but rough for $300 bucks, beat the piss out of it one weekend in the sand pits and called a cash for cars we tow it away cash on the spot place, he asked if it ran, i said sure does, towed it away 350 cash on the spot. One of my greatest turn arounds of all time...

for a budget I would look into some old salvaged trans maybe can get it rolling forward for pennies. also check out this website

I think the oj bronco was the body style after this one... No it's green, well kinda... Paint is scorched

 

So I dropped the pan, drained the converter, cleaned the pan, replaced filter, and fluid. Reverse is solid, but 99.9% the forward clutch pack is toast. Found a guy to rebuild the Tranny for $550, so gonna drop the trans in about a week or two then take it to him for a rebuild

 

I had a '90 for a long time. It's what I sold in order to buy my Tacoma.

Kinda miss the big fella

 

Which engine?

 

302

 

yeah 302

 

lol, sorry... thought he was asking me what engine I had.
