Me and dad Picked up our 2nd bronco it is a 95 Bronco 351W E4OD. So now in the family we have my 83 Bronco 351W C6, our 95 Bronco, and dad's 91 Bronco 351W E4OD.


The 95 will just be cleaned up and fixed up to be a driver for us staying mostly stock for now.

Installed the inside door handles and spare tire rack on our 95 bronco now just to find a steering column for it so that I can start it with a key not a screwdriver.

Yeah starting with a screwdriver isn't too fun. Installing the steering column in these trucks is surprisingly easy as well which is nice. I don't know if there are any good junkyards up near Snowflake, but down in the Phoenix area, finding a steering column for a 90s F-series truck is super easy.

 

Easy to find one for my other trucks but this one has an airbag which seems impossible to find. Never had an airbag truck.


Starting it with the screwdriver isn't the worst part I could deal with that but the steering wheel just slops around in the steering column.

Well it was last week, but I picked up a 78 parts Bronco to strip a bunch of little stuff from to help me with getting mine done. It has been picked over by several people before I got it but I still have a bunch of parts I'm going to be taking off it.

 

I was just going to see what your progress has been bigzirb! Looks like you have a your hands full now with that parts truck!

As for the airbag columns, I suppose they are harder to find now that I think of it. I have an airbag column on mine, but no longer have the wiring engine bay/dash wiring for it when I swapped in the F250 stuff. I kinda do want to wire it back up, but don't know how hard that will be.

 

Found one with the air bag blown out for $80 will swap my good air bag parts and steering wheel to it. Also the guy threw in a glove box latch so now I can close the glove box.
We the picked up new key cylinders for the doors already have a new one for the ignition.
Cost us less then $30 to register the 95 for a year but $40 to register my 83 for a year not sure what is up with that. Wonder if DMV charged me for the 83 not being registered for over 12 years.

Went to p'n'p and picked up a dash bezel that someone had respectfully already removed without breaking any tabs while they took the instrument cluster Also grabbed the batter tray and hardware to install a second battery with All told 15 minutes at p'n'p and $30.05 later I was a happy camper

I should mention that the dash bezel was/is (hopefully) the last piece I need to replace to get rid of my interior rattle

 

Rebuilt the steering column for the 95 including new clock spring. Haven't gotten it back in just yet but did get the door locks in. Had to buy a new ignition cylinder as the one that came with the truck was broken.

I love it when people pull stuff and don't break it. I try to do the same if/when I'm at a yard pulling.

 

How is the back passenger body where the side marker light is and tail light?

 

Put in the steering column, cleaned the carpet and seats up some. Also we ordered a new boss stereo with a flip out screen. It has usb, mp3, cd, dvd, backup camera, SD card and is a 340 watt. I will order new speakers next and install it and the 2 10" sony subs I have in the 95 bronco.
Right now dealing with 1st going out on my DD 88 F150.

Well....called the dealer about my Bronco and WHAT'S going on with it! My service writer returns my call and says, "the tech says it's running bad. i reply, "I KNOW!!!!" "Its been sitting for over a year now!" "It has old gas in it." "That has nothing to do with the trasnmission not coming out of lock up when it gets hot!" I didn't get 5 miles before it messed up!!!" "IT HAS BEEN A MONTH!!!"

That's when he tells me their transmission tech's last day is tomorrow! (I just about had a stroke!!!!) And in this conversation....my wife is telling to calm down! (We were in a restaurant!)

I continued to calmly tell him.....again what the symptoms are and what it was doing.....so he can tell the other tech that will be working on it. He says I should know something.....tomorrow.

 

Trying to find the source of a draw but found the battery is junk. I guess I'll start there......

 

Here's the only pics I have right now of the area. I'll be back over to my buddies on Tuesday so I'll grab a better pic then. How big of an area are you needing to repair? I do remember there is a lot of rust on the top of the fender where the top mounts to it.
