Great work. Nice and clean. It reminds me of the time when my Dad restored his 1966 F100 pickup.

Re: Problem with Bronco II Tailgate

I also thought about using some automotive rubber hose and make my own cover.

I just have to look at what they have. The autozone I frequent often has let me go in the back and look around. :angel:

Re: Problem with Bronco II Tailgate

the tailgate on my 84 BII rattles as well.

I was wondering if the rubber can be replaced on the exterior tire rack?

Some forum for B2 I saw axle codes?

Does anyone now where I can look up my axle codes?
I don't remember which forum I saw it on.

This is what was on the rear axle tag:

top of tag: 6x 8H 3622

bottom of tag: 7375 S604A

That is what I could read with my eyes :eek:

Thanks-Kelly

Do I need the O2 sensor?

On my 1984 2.8L I found the O2 sensor but there is no wire going to it. I bought a new one but is it necessary the I put the new one if I can't find a connecting wire?
