1st gen. 2.9 EFI, manual tranny, 4x4, blue and weird tan, tan int. 2nd gen. 2.9 EFI, auto, 2x4, red w/white stripe, red int. 1st gen. caught fire in eng comp. i'm keeping 4x4front end and man trans. trans case. roof and rh. 2nd gen. has (supposedly) bad trans. good low milage eng. no rh. I'm keeping 2nd gen front body, and motor. my 86's motor, front end, auto trans w/auto shift transfer might be available after i finish rebuilding and installing new parts on mine. I'll get some pics, and parts will be make offer or trade. My plan is to have my 86, with 2nd gen front, rebuilt eng, man. trans/transfer, rebuilt front 4x4, with extended brackets/lift, removable top/replacable tailgate. might find a ranger gate, sted of cutting hatch.

 

2nd gen(B2) was robbed of parts for 1st gen(B1). as it has no title. their not complete, so parts are 50/50 present. B1 was driving when it caught fire(I know this, cause I'm getting both trucks from a friend, and i saw it still smoking on the street). eng good, burnt wires and plastic. both have rear side glass. B1 has vent windows avail. B2 full windows, not sure if glass are in it. Doors, boxes, rear ends, 2x4 front, frames, B1 tailgate spare mount,f/r. seats, int. plastic. Lots of good stuff i don't need.

 

Hows the dashboard pad on the older B2?.......Cracked probably?

 

is your cracked dave?

 

I have not seen one in a 83-88 Ranger or B2 that was not (except the one in my Ranger) I would kill for a non cracked blue dash pad!

 

not sure if its cracked or not, but it's burnt. thinking of updating my 86 with the newer one, mines cracked, and brown, bondo works well if u cut and sand the raised edges off, fleckstone it, or gravel gaurd for texture then paint desired color

 

ive been thinking about using some heruliner on my dash and floors..i think it would look cool and be durable

 

yeah if i cut the roof off, i'll probly do something like that also, more on the floor, and plastic, to seal them together so water don't get in there and ferment

 

I am trying to do a resto, so trying to stay looking 1987 Ford stock. Love to line-X the interior floor, but wife wants stock looking carpet.
James Duff sell dash covers that fit over your cracked dash perfectly........for $90+ shipping!
Beginning to think about filling the cracks in my old dash and painting it, sure wish I had not pitched it across the shop when I yanked it out, thinking "It will be easy to find a non cracked one!"...........not on this planet.

 

The 2nd gen Bronco i'm about to go pick even has cracks in the dash. Maybe Ford uses substandard dashboards, so they can spend more on the important stuff, yeah right. As long as it didn't break, like i said above bondo works really well. If it did break, maybe some fiberglass and reinforcement plastic.

 

hey old93junk, check out the dashpad, it wasn't cracked, ain't that the luck

 

Can't you buy a new one from broncograveyard?

 

justdashes.com located in Van Nuys CA repairs padded dashes, also reproduces them. This is where Dennis Carpenter is buying his repro's from.

E3TZ-1004282-A3B (1983 Ranger) / E4TZ-1004282-A3B (1984 Bronco II/Ranger) / E5TZ-1004282-A4B (1985/87 Bronco II/Ranger) BLUE padded dashes.

No Ford Dealer or obsolete parts vendor has any.

 

Can't get a price from DC, and justdashes does not seem to list it at all.

 

You think you can get the fuel gauge out of the dash or are these cheap somewhere around me, I kinda googled it, but no results.
