1ga. cables $12.00

total cost $133.97 plus shipping cost

Kem I'll let you know, I have an electric fan from a late model Thunderbird 3.8 and a couple 130watt driving lights to hookup. I'll post the outcome.

No big deal. I was just commenting to you that I see we both live in the same city. I'm in Lake Shores off Shore Dr. I'm getting ready to replace some front end parts and was wondering if you knew of a good local shop for an alignment? I want to make sure the job gets done right.

Hi Fish, it's nice to hear from a local Bronco. I talked to Pro Trucks after I finished rebuilding my front end. They told me they send all their work to Finks in Portsmouth. So I made an appointment with Finks. I have no complaints they did a nice job at a reasonable price I would recommend them.

Wow, looks like you went all out working on your front end. How much of it did you replace?

Thanks for the info on Finks. I was concerned about having an alignment done by someone that didn't know how to do it properly. My girlfriend lives not far from them in P-town so that should work out well.

Hope to see you around town someday with that nice looking Bronco.
