Micah? Yours has all the good stuff I want. Real seats. I found a set but need them re-done. Mine I think came from JC Whitney as I see a set there just like them. Not enough padding for my old body.
And the manual tranny. That and the 300 are the cat's meow I think.
You a lucky dog you are.

umm not i wont drive him home i will trailer him since his brakes are shot and his tires will not keep air on the passenger side.
a few things i need to do first to him are
New brakes all around
really good tune up
new drivers seat
new tires
new hubs/rebuild them
and new front axles
then he will be road worthy at least..

I just put a set of Warn Premium Locking Hub Kits on "The Bronk" a week ago. Got them from Broncograveyard.com for around $135.00. I checked my milage day before yesterday and gained 2MPG with them over the Auto hubs it had. I have the Auto hubs. They are in perfect condition. If ya can use them PM me. I'll make ya a heck of a deal.
The Warn hub kit I got had everything one would ever need with them. Including two new spindle nut or wheel brg retaining nut and pin assembly's part number 28068X that I didn't need to use as mine had that setup on her already. It's the double nut set up that I like. I don't trust the setup with the keeper that just slides in. I lost the wheel and rotor off my 90 Ranger because of that kind.

I also with mine had the 4spd in it. Maybe someday i will get around to doing a swap but with this newly rebuilt auto i want to play with it more first. I think the biggest challenge with a swap is the pedals and getting rid of the column shifter. And maybe the whole "shifter through the floor" deal. But it isn't impossible.
