Put some Warn selectable hubs in the '73 and took the slugs out so I can drive it around a little more without putting so many miles in the front end! Went to a cookout yesterday celebrating the retirement of one of my local coworker/Bronco-Ford enthusiast with some of the Tidewater Bronco Fellas. They expressed some interest in the NovRun this year.....more to come.

You getting rid of those slugs? You gonna go to the beach clean up that they are hosted.
0 percent chance of rain means that it will rain when the Bronco comes out.. Added the bike rack and hit the mtb trail today. Rained pretty hard on the way home.

Cleaned it all up and now time to order a rebuild kit and bunch of other parts for it.
At least the 435 is a super easy trans to work on!
Don't think it got water in it from being out, More than likely it was when I had to use the Bronco to get to the hospital to see mom in a flood, Had water up to the bottom of the seats going down the road. Changed the fluid after that. But with the humidity in Florida who knows.
Not sure how the water got there but the trans output was seized to the input on the t-case. Was not fun getting them separated. There was a healthy buildup of rust on the shift rails and some of the guts in the trans. The grease in both axles looked ok but old. I had to replace the front wheel bearings when I got it. That would explain why. Going to do a new clutch and flywheel to eliminate the bucking bronco syndrome too.
