Full time 4 wheel drive

Just bought a 78 bronco, it has full time 4 wheel drive. What is the best way to convert it to part time. Thanks for the help.

I didn't realize they had full time 4WD back then? Are you sure? Are the manual hubs stuck in the "lock" position? Is the 4WD shifter stuck in 4 low or 4high? Just thought I'd ask.

does your truck have a xfer xase with a shifter? if not swap the xfercase to one that can be shifted from 2wd to 4wd. You might be able to change the hub from a locked hub to manual hubs. haynes manuall doesn't say much. Check Projectbronco.com. The site ids dedicated to 78-79 bronco's. someone there may know about changing to manual hubs.

Call your autoparts store, they sell a full time to part time conversion kit to go in your 4x4 and new locking hubs comes in the kit. NP203?
