I yanked the lift kit out, the X-fr case which is a NP205, the front & rear drive-shafts. I also yanked the solid front axle and shock towers, the radius arms and everything else I can think of! Is there gonna be that one little part nobody thinks of that I may be missing?? I am probably gonna have the truck for about 2 more weeks before the junkyard comes and gets it. If anybody needs glass, break lights, blinkers, etc, let me know!

 

There's always that one little part, but I can't think of it right now. Are you going to use the 205 in your later model? I did on my 94 and one issue I ran into was the header on the drivers side. It interfered with the front driveshaft because the 205's output is higher up and farther forward than the later models. If you go with the 205 and full lenght headers, you might try getting them for a 78 - 79.

 

im new to the broncos but my buddy just picked up a 78 to use for plowing. his has the solid front axle as well. comparing the 78 to my 90 we noticed how much higher his engine sits than mine. im assuming thats to allow for the solid axle. if your 87 has the ifs or whatever its called (non solid axle) i might check out the motor mounts or whatever it is that might be different in that respect.

 

or i dont know jack about broncos. i found this while looking around hope it helps.

1/2 TON PARTS
First, you will need to get a hold of a Dana 44 front. most of these came from f-150's and broncos, but some F-250's had leaf sprung axles, refered to Dana 44 Heavy Dutys. these axle had 8 lug outers, with a matching 8 lug D60 out back. for ease and simplicity, find a coil sprung axle, since our broncos are already setup to run coils. For a clean looking swap, you'll need to acquire the upper coil buckets, radius arms (should come with the lower coil retainers), and radius arm brackets. you will more than likely have to fabricate your own track bar bracket at the frame. you CAN re-use the stock track bar, but some prefer to use aftermarket ones or make theirs custom out of DOM tubing. Most people like to use shock mounts from a mid 90's f-250 or 350, because they allow for the use of double eyelet shocks, instead of the crappy stud mount shocks that come factory on our rigs. this opens up a wide possibility of shocks to use.

3/4 TON PARTS
most of the above applies here, with the exception that your parts will come from a 78/79 f-250 with the D60 rear. the front comes with leafs that you more than likely will not re-use. refer to the one ton section for info on that.

ONE TON PARTS
This will consist of a leaf sprung D60 front and one of many 1 ton rear ends. if you have a 92 or later, you must use a sterling 10.25 or modify a D60 or D70 to accept a tone ring so the E4OD can read the signals coming from the VSS. for this, you will have to fabricate a front crossmember to mount the front leaf spring hangers or shackles to. some people mount their shackles on the front xmember, others do a shackle reversal at the aft section of the spring. this axle will come from any f-350 from 77 to 97, but there are slight differences. the 77-79 60's had a narrower mounting distance than the newer axles, because the frames in the early days were straight, as opposed to later frames that widened at the motor. this isnt to say you can use them, but make your mounts accordingly.

 

Interested in a driver's side front turn signal case (the thing assembly under the headlight) if you have that. Maybe a back seat if its decent condition.

I can't think of anything else that you could use off of it for your new one though.

 

I have a 78 F150 sc 4x4 it has leaf springs on the front 44. Has been this way since new . It is going under the next F150 crewcab conversion I find. But the coil swap is great. It dosn't matter if keep the whole Bronco something will be bad or missing. Try to talk wreckers into letting you get parts off it. It will be small things that they probably won't sell any way.

 

Thanks for the reply guy's. That is what I am worried about, missing that one part that is gonna be a pain in the A$$ to find! Surewhynot, I currently have full length headers on my 351W, Hookers. Captain P4, do you want the lens or the entire assembly?? I just looked at it today as a matter of fact. Send me an E-mail. I also have a complete 460 with matching tranny that came with the truck. Anybody intrested, just E-mail me. Lostin90's, the wreckers down here will probably not speak English, so once it's gone, it's GONE!

 

sent you email, just making sure it went through
