My Silver '76 - BucknEB - 10-28-2011
I'm starting a build thread for my '76. I'm taking the Bronco out of daily driver status until I can make some things right, i.e. engine vibration, steering troubles, rear brakes. etc.etc. (it's a Bronco so I added an "Et cetera")
upergrin: I'm in the process of parts collecting now. So far I have:-1 ton steering conversion kit from Ruffstuff specialties.com with new tie rod ends, (I'm thinking I may want to do the tie rod flip over and that will require some addition parts.)
- new OEM power steering pump and hoses. possible return to Autozone and go with the Sagi conversion (again addition parts- brackets, pulley,belt)
coming soon: New flex plate-band aid fix? (maybe new engine :banghead
, Dana 44 overhaul kit, Shocks and steering stabilizer.![[Image: 5d23331f.jpg]](http://i1251.photobucket.com/albums/hh556/BucknEB/5d23331f.jpg)

D44 overhaul kit? what is wrong with it?
go ahead and get the saginaw pump- you'll be glad you did!

The Overhaul kit is a little overkill, but... I do need all new bearings (I've had the truck 15 years and I've never done them)
The Saginaw pump is going to happen. Clay mentioned something about a Sagi pump out of a Lincoln for $40 at Advance.

Will u run hydroboost later? If so you will need dual return on back of Sagi.
My Silver '76 - BucknEB - 11-15-2011
Hydro boost is an option I've been looking at Crawdad.
My Silver '76 - BucknEB - 11-15-2011
So... I'm still collecting parts.
I just bought a Rampage soft top from a guy on Classic. It's Black with tinted windows and has the complete zip out windows for the Safari look.:xyxthumbs:
The top that I bought form Crawdad will be for sale soon.
My Silver '76 - BucknEB - 11-18-2011
Some more parts coming...
I just purchased a dual return Saginaw pump with the WH mounting bracket pulley and line adapter from a guy on Classic.
I also scored a lighted rear view mirror.
Still on the "to buy" list is:
Bearings/seals (all of the front end)
Bushings (not sure what I need yet)
Ball joints? (maybe)
I getting close to actually posting some build progress in this build thread.:xyxthumbs:
My Silver '76 - Crawdad - 11-18-2011
I think ur dual return may not work with the WH bracket. I bought that same set up and I had to notch out a section. Once I did that it fit perfect. I put mine on a mill and only took minutes to do. Check my thread on the power steerring and you will see.
My Silver '76 - BucknEB - 11-19-2011
Yeah Matt I read your power steering thread. I remember the problems you were having. Here is a pic of the parts I bought. You can see that the bracket has been notched already.
My Silver '76 - BucknEB - 11-29-2011
Still collecting parts...
I swear there will be some "building" in this build thread soon.
upergrin:I received the dual return Sagi pump yesterday.
The parts I have:
1 ton steering linkage kit from Ruffstuff, w/ tie rod ends.
Sagi pump, bracket, line adapter
New pump hoses
Parts I need/want:
Ball joints
Bushings (front end kit) including 7* c-bushings and front sway bar.
Bearings
