First early bronco

crobson1985 · Aug 3, 2016

Just got my first early Bronco 1966. Needs a good bit of work. Some parts already ordered for it. Had to tow it home after the purchase with my oil burner, but I finally found one around me.

Thank you, the only rust on the truck is on the front passenger body mount at the body not the frame (hood and top have some but both are getting replaced). Does anyone know if that mount is attached to a bolt in part or has to be cut and welded back in?

This might help you http://www.lmctruck.com/icatalog/fbr/full.aspx?Page=10

By the way, body mount bolts are usually #8 bolts and old ones are often rust welded in place so you have to cut them. On my truck I had to use a carbide blade in a Sawsall and it took a while to make the cuts even with that blade.

Yo crobson1985,

Welcome!

Here are some tips on the body mounts that reflect what Seabronc advised,

Thanks guys, i can't wait to get it on the lift and start checking it out. (I'm betting a lot of suspension parts are shot)
