finding parts

hey guys, this is my first time posting in the "early bronco" forum. i have a 72 f-250 4x4 and in the future i was thinking about getting an early bronco and i was wondering if they can be hard to find parts for? i know that for my 72 parts can really be hard to get a hold of some times depending on what it is.

thanks...Russ

Parts are easy. Most auto stores around me have the mechanical stuff on the shelf. The specific stuff can be sourced through many vendors. JBG for one. I can think of 4 bronco specific vendors off the top of my head. It may be the only vehicle you could buy every piece of and assemble a whole truck.

thanks for the info that's encouraging news, there's nothing more frustrating than when you're in the middle of a project and you need some thing as simple as a bushing set and you have to spend three or four days just to find some one who can order what you need and doesn't tell you it's not made any more.

thanks...Russ

I know what you mean about finding parts for a High Boy, that's why I sold my 71 when I had a chance to get most of my money back. Have you ever tried finding a short 31 spline axle for the 9-3/8 rear-end? They are like hen's teeth around here.
