thanks buck as i said very nice truck and colour and i have been looking for a colour like that for awhile now thanks again

 

well i have gotten a few odds and ends done over the weekend. I replaced the front and rear output seals on my 205. I got both the seals from Jeffs Bronco Graveyard for $8.99 each i believe. But man those seals are in there TIGHT!! I had to remove the case that they are seated in and press them out. I also drained the old gear oil that was in the tcase and it was like mud. It got pretty thick and chunky towards the end. I took a magnet to the old oil to see if there were any shavings, and unfortunately there were. I know these transfer cases are just about the toughest out there, so hopefully it will hold up. But i would bet that the gear oil was 35 years old in that thing.

Also repainted my grill inserts today. I was considering switching to the 78-79 shell but i also love the split grill look. So for now, im sticking with the original shell.

I am going to hopefully find some boggers at some point this week. So i will get some pics when i mount them on my beadlocks. But i cant find my camera right now, so as soon as i can i will upload some new pictures.

 

hurry with the camera!

 

what was the name of the paint you got? I need to touch up my 77 but cant find it anywhere!!

 

bucks77ford. beautiful truck. I like the gauges, but how difficult was it to set up the Fuel gauge?

 

It was called "Orange CH" and was an original Ford color from 1973-1979 if i remember correctly. I dont have a part number on me though. It was in the Factory Ford paint book at NAPA which is about 500 pages thick. Just look through there...you'll find it.

 

Ok man give us some updates!

Pics with the new wheels!

 

Hey dude...i guess you havent heard i traded the old highboy.



I hated to do it...but i have a few things in mind for my 79 bronco, and you may see those wheels someday

 

Dang that was one of favorite trucks.
