Thanks for the questions. You would be doing well to drop that truck back down and run the 33's. I'd recommend power steering and put new track bar bushings in as well. Make sure all your linkages are tight in the front end/steering. That should really help.
You might be best served to find a D-44 front axle with discs already and just throw it under there at the same time. The 76-77 models will require a new tie-rod. The knuckles are different on them. Don't forget to change the proportioning valve while you are at it. You'll need a 76-77 style instead of the H block currently in there.
You probably have a fuel pump or carb issue with it not cranking. I'd recommend rebuilding the carb (or new one) and replacing the pump. You can drop the tank and clean it. Chances are that the fuel gauge in the sending unit doesn't work anyway and the whole sending unit would need to be replaced. They are about $50 or so.
There are several styles of electric wiper conversions out there. Check with the Bronco vendors and settle on the one you prefer the most.
