worked on the tow rig....

Post by DBrown »

I got out last week and put the new/used front end on. its off a 73, I kinda like the round headlights better then the square. now I just need to fix a rear break line get a new brain box and find a set of 15x8 rims for it and I will be off and running!

LOL. yeah, I cleaned everything after I talked to my friends dad. I sent the tip but I haven't talked to him in awhile so I don't know it anything ever came of it.

I am trying to get it ready to tow the BII to turkey bay this year but it might be a close call...

sweet i like the 73 grille awesome. does the big bronco have front rear sway bar's? if not you can pick them up pretty cheap if not for free. good luck with the tow rig. im also working to get mine tow rig up to par just added summit shorty header's and it's getting a 2 1/2" lift tommarrow. :D

yeah, I got the sway bars. that was on the list when I checked everything. I am going to put in the new tranny on mon. I didn't relize that the NP435 weighed so much so I got a transmission jack from a friend.
