Boy is that the truth. What are you working on?

 

I got my 78 Bronco:


It has numerous problems and the most prominent are the brakes, the engine, and gear ratios.

Next is my 1971 VW Super Beetle.


It's also got a lot of issues namely the engine and the rust. Among a ton of other things. The bronco is my baby though and will always be the center of my concern. The VW was bought as a daily driver/project/childhood dream car. I'd like to make the truck into more of a toy than a daily driver and the bug into a stock sleeper.

 

That is a nice bronco and vw you got there. I know someone who is selling a front and rear end out of a bronco like yours if your interested i could find out what he wants for the set.

 

Depends on what axles they are and what gears are in them along with how much. Right now we estimated they are 2.73 in the rear and 3.55 in the front. Thus, I cannot used 4wd or I will be in deeper trouble. As of right now, I don't have space for more car parts otherwise I'd be in trouble with my parents. Plus it would be a while before they got put in unless I just rob the gears out and sell the axle housings. Mine are good it's just the gears I need.

 

Ok well i will find out what gears are in them. I think 9inch rear and dana 44 front but i will comferm and get details for you.

 

That would be great, thanks. Do you know where they are located? Hopefully not too far away.

 

They are in shelton im not sure where you are

 

Ouch,that's an hour and 8 minutes. I am down in a little town called Algona by the SuperMall. It's near Auburn.

 

I know where that is at...a bit of a drive indeed

 

I don't know if it would be worth it for 2 axles though. Depends on the gears, the condition, and price I guess. If I feel it's something I can afford and it would be worth going that far to get them, then I'll try to make it happen.

 

Dylan if you get the full assembly and that would be the best way to sell
you parts after you get what you need. Your going to need a truck or trailer
to transport them. If you can find a way to help with the fuel cost I do have
a truck that can pick the stuff up. Just keep me in mind.

Pfft a truck and trailer, are you crazy?!? Ha, I'll just strap them to the top of my VW It can handle it!

Holy crap... That would be nice to have, I'd probably blind myself with it though.

 

whats happening boys... i haven't been on here in like a week

well yesterday i picked up some pretty new wheels to put on my van - now i just have to buy tires for them. i'll have load range G michelins on there - so no more complaining about constant tire failures for me... front tires come in on tuesday, and rear ones when i have the money for them. in the past week i've had 2 front tires go bulging on me, so i had to reclaim some out-of-round junkers from the trash pile to get by for a few more days. i can't wait till those days are over!
