Picked up a 1990 Bronco II XLT over the weekend

[holeshot]

very good deal. Im starting to look for another 2nd gen and get rid of my 88 here pretty soon.

Yeah I am starting to like the 2nd gen BII's now that I picked this one up. I was looking out west for some rust free ones, but they are pretty pricey for what was looking to do. Craigslist is the $hit!!! lol.

She's too sweet for a parts truck, NICE SCORE especially for the price. I bet you 'bout crapped when you saw it in person... Hope I can find a deal on one like that someday!!!

..............WHAT?


op: DO NOT PART THAT 90! fix the driveline and DD that, its too clean compared to the 86 to justify parting it. make the 86 a project truck.

..............WHAT?

He don't give a shit.

That made my eyes cross and my head throb :icon_confused:

 

[That Baker Guy]

man that things clean as hell, once that trannys fixed make it a wheeler

 

[Jixxer6]

Try to put some heat on those bolts for the driveshaft. They should come right out once warmed up. I have been told ford used some kind of thread locker on drive shaft bolts so a little heat can go a long way.

i swap the 86 wheels to the 90 first off i kinda like the 86 rim better and fix the trans and have a pretty nice rig

x2 i was gonna say that

The only time the rust on the suspension components will be an issue is when you want to take anything apart up there. Other than that it will be fine. How do the break lines look?

exactly, i live in canada, specificaly newfoundland so when winter is here, the rust is here, and BAD, much worse than yours but it all still works perfect (except for the chevys)

You've got the D35 and a manual t-case so you have the highly sought after manual 1354 case.

Looks like it may have manual hubs to boot.

Swap the A4LD for an M5OD, the 7.5 for an 8.8 and you have a solid drivetrain.

Plus...

A 4.0 is basically plug-and-play in a '90 BII.

That truck has TONS 'o potential.

Great Score! :icon_thumby:

i agree^^
