Well, I actually don't know how she looks, but I got you to read , Now please check this thread, she needs someone to do some rear axle checking and maybe an axle replacement: https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1...olve-this.html

 

Ahahaha that's awesome Encho. Thanks for linking it here. There should be a link in this months BS thread or maybe last month.

 

I live close by. Thanks for the heads up Encho.

 

Anyone else wishes to help the damsel in distress?.

 

If I could, I would honestly. But life and other troubles are preventing that.

 

I live about four miles away from Burlington. We have already made contact and I'll go look at it this afternoon.

 

That just great, if you can report back later it would be amazing... we love pics around here btw, of the truck of course .

 

Now now there, I am only going over to check out her rear end...
..uh..
her axle!

 

Ha you guys are funny! But seriously, we like our pictures of rear ends around here.

 

I made it over to Teresa's yesterday and we pulled the pumpkin. It is the apparent victim of gear heading in fwd.
The clutch side bearing cap of the trac lok is broken and the clutches destroyed.
Axles shafts, housing and tranny/transfer case all seem fine.
Gears are 3.50. If anyone has a matching pumpkin they don't need tell TeresaAnn and we can meet up to get her going again.

 

Ouch, that's a bummer. Wish I had parts for that.

 

Make sure to flush out the assembly really well to remove all the fine
metal that is in there.

Found a 9" 3.50 rear end here in Woolley.

 

Ok, got an update. Went to Art's wrecking yard in Sedro Woolley were they had just gotten a 76 F150, Door tag said it had a 3.50 so she bought it and got it loaded on my trailer. Swapped the pumpkin in then realized the yokes don't match. Sedro Wooley Auto Parts had just the right crossover u joint(these guys have everything), a 1330 x 1310 so today I was able to get the yoke installed.
Teresa had the axle shafts rebuilt and I had a hard time getting the old races out. Tried a loaner race puller from Autozone but it was junk. Ended up making my own. Got the axles stuffed and the Bronco back on it's wheels.
Her Edelbrock carb had no choke operator so the 460 didn't want to start. Put that on and the motor fired up like it never sat around at all. It ran out of gas though before I got to test drive it but this Bronco sounds sweet. Anyway, so far so good, she is back on the road!
TeresaAnn's Bronco


Gifts from an appreciative TeresaAnn! Somehow she knew that the wooden Harley would go very well on my shelf.


..and this huge plate of homemade cookies! I'm tellin' ya, this lady can cook!
Well I hope you enjoy having your Bronco back as much as I am enjoying these cookies Teresa!

 

Amazing! this just makes me so darn happy . I'm glad you decided to help and got those nice rewards rogue, and that Bronco is just sweet!. Teresa, don't ever loan it to anybody EVER again *, maybe rogue40, he surely deserves it, good job guys! and well done. You guys at FTE make me proud to be a small part of all this.

*and please smack that kid on the head on my behalf, he should be paying for these parts!.

P.S.: Exactly at this point reps should be raining all over you rogue, I'll make sure they do .
