88-BRONCO-DAVE
Guest
Just bought a 1988 Bronco Eddie Bauer. Original owner swapped out the 302 w/auto 3 spd for a 351W and C6. My seller (which makes me the third owner) stuck with the 351W and did a full rebuild on it (all stock though) as well as the C6. Not much more than 300 miles put on it since. Garage kept. It has the 4x4 push buttons and auto hubs. (not my first pick but I'm hoping to be able to go shifter and manual hubs). Also in the deal was another 1988 Bronco that my seller bought years ago from friends (again, I'm now the third owner) for spare parts when needed (but never needed any). Unfortunately it just sat in the woods for years but all in all, it's got potential for a restore. My seller says it also has a 351W. I don't know what the spare has for 4x4 engagement or trans. (I wasn't personally at the buy today - my brother, who use to have a 1989 Bronco, and his family friend, and master mechanic, were 4 and 5 hours, resp, away. They lifted the spare Bronco on the trailer with a tractor the seller had, and drove the other on). I have a million questions but I'll wait until I have further conversations with our mechanic and the seller, if need be. Looking forward to getting to know a bunch of you guys. Thanks, Dave
