Love working on old mustangs; this is my first truck. Lifelong passion, but merely YouTube trained. Have lots of questions.

Yes, welcome.

I'm not a big fan of the 96 look. It's a great vehicle all round, but to me, it's a hard one to capture a great stance on.

I say this all because this one defies that sensibility and looks damn good! I'd like to see more @Scott8

Hey Scott, welcome to the zone, lots of help in here, just ask.
Fellow mustang lover here as well. I have had many.
My summer daily is a 69 ragtop. (plus my 79 Bronco)
Cheers

I love the 69/70's. Mine is a 67 289. I almost finished it when I got military orders to outside the country. So it's in storage for now. It's killing me that it wasn't running before I left and couldn't bring it.

This Bronco is much further along and already runs and looks great. Now I just to fix about a thousand little things and change the suspension to make it ride normal.

They are more of a hobby than transportation!
Thank you for your service!

Yo Scott,
Welcome and congratulations on acquiring the very best year Big Bronco known to men, women, children and canines!

Sorry for my delay! My much-better-half was in the hospital for a few days.

We bought our 96 Bronco 5.0 w/E4OD new and have never pulled the 5.0 E4OD, 8.8 nor BW 1356 Transfer case for repairs.

ASAP, find out if speed control recall work, if equipped was completed. If you still have concerns about Recalls, please contact the Ford Customer Relationship Center:
US: 800-392-3673 | CA: 800-565-3673
Note: 3673 spells "FORD" on phone keys
For the hearing- or speech-impaired: Please contact the Telecommunication Relay Service by dialing 71
... have VIN ready.
"Summary: ON CERTAIN PICKUP TRUCKS, PASSENGER VEHICLES, SPORT UTILITY VEHICLES, AND MOTOR HOMES CHASSIS, THE SPEED CONTROL DEACTIVATION SWITCH MAY, UNDER CERTAIN CONDITIONS, LEAK INTERNALLY AND THEN OVERHEAT, SMOKE, OR BURN. THIS COULD RESULT IN AN UNDERHOOD FIRE."
To confirm current status, use this guide by jowens1126 @ 93 & 94-96 Cruise Control Recalls Repair
Note that the 93 recall is different than the 94-96 recall.

That does look pretty awesome @Scott8 , thanks for the pix!

I like the wheel flares. I think that's what sets off the whole stance for me. Plus, that grandpa step looks pretty good too!

Thank you. This is a great packet of resources! Much appreciated. Unfortunately, mine wasn't equipped with cruise control. Thanks again; I'll chew through these resources this weekend.
