Could we see some pictures? Here is how.


But I got ta say becoming a supporter is the fastest and easiest way to post pics right from
your whatever pad/cell thing or home computer.
Few of us look in the users Gallery or album as you can see by your recent visitors.

It seems awkward, but whenever you "insert a picture" to one of these threads, the forum is looking for the picture somewhere on the web (which is always available) rather than from somewhere on your hard drive (which isn't always available).

While you're making a post on FTE, select the pic you want to post from your Photobucket album. When the large version of the pic is open, right mouse click on it and select "View Image Info". The image info will be highlighted and will look something like this:
The best photos and videos | Photobucket

Copy that highlighted info (right click / copy).

When you have the spot in your post where you want the pic to be placed, select the "Insert Image" icon at the top of the post (looks like a mountain) and paste (right click / paste) the image info you copied in the highlighted box (just shows "http://" when it opens).

Your pic will be placed in the post.

Hope that helps.

Here's a tutorial Bob put together: https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/67...-pictures.html Bob's link is not working. Can someone in the know tell me why?

How to upload pictures to the FTE Forums. - YouTube. Thanks Sam Rusty_Old_F250. Best we can find is that this video was done by Gundown64

I understand how to do it, the HAMB is the same way, I was doing it on my cell phone which is much more difficult, I'm on a computer now. Thanks for the welcome!

Axle code H9 = 3.55:1 Limited slip rear end. I am sure it is the 8.8 and not the 9"
Trans code K = C6 Automatic.

Eat your damn dinner for crying out loud. I am sure it's just Ramen noodles or Mac and cheese.

You forget that my mom moved in with me ~1 year ago, she does most of the cooking.

Is the description in your profile accurate for the Bronco? It says 460 punched out to 475. Is the trans still an auto? Your rear ends may not even be what the truck came with originally either.

yes, it has the stock rear end and either a newer c-6, or a rebuilt stock one. I was told that there was between 5000-8000 miles (odometer not hooked up) on the engine, tranny, suspension, and tires when I bought it.
