No I just go outside and without the key, turn the tumbler due to it being broken, and starts right up.

I still put the key in it though so it doesnt look like I stole it.

well guys kinda dove in head first, into making one of my steering wheels fit the truck, hopefully ill get it welded up comorrow in metal shop, and paint it black and get some pics up tommorrow :), but for now this is what is going on. i had to cut my original wheel apart, and get the hub off it, cleaned the hub up, and am gonnna weld it to the new wheel tommorow, i know its risky, but i hope it works out, let me know what you guys think.

well i got my parts truck yesterday and have started stripping it already, the pics are after a day of pulling parts, if anyone needs anytthing for a 1986 bronco II with a 2.9v6, ill sell em pretty cheap, there is no hubs on it, i am keeping those. the only body damage is the driver fender. there are no seats in it, also the last there is a pic of the seats i got out of it, they are brand new tweed seats :)

well guys, got my mirrors on today, and when i was all done, and went in to wash up, came back out to take pics i noticed that the mirrors i have are tw different ones:annoyed:. that made me pretty pissed off, and to top it off, a cragslist flake flaked out on buying my snowmobile engine for only $50 :annoyed:. so here are the pics, if anyone has a mirror matching one or the other on the truck, i would be interested in buying or trading for it, oh and if someone wants the flag style mirrors you can have em for the price of shipping. not gonna be able to do much this weekend since all my family from germany is coming over, but tommotrow i get the paint to painnt the interior peices black :icon_thumby:. well c i think im gonna paint peices and do the heater core tommorow. oh and scored some cb's for free:yahoo:, well the guy gave me three and said dfind out which one works and give me the other two back :), so thats a good deal, keep in mind this is the same guy i bought the truck from. well i think its time for me to go grab a good cold :icon_pepsi:
