Here's the latest. I need to paint a few more things, bleed the brakes again, and go flex it out a little to see if anything binds that we overlooked. I have only driven it on a snow packed gravel road so far, so actual road manners are to be determined, but so far so good it seems.
I also did a bunch of electrical stuff, put a radio back in, relocated my aftermarket gauges, and redid my CB wiring. The wiring under the dash was a mess from previous owners cutting wires for CD players I'm assuming. I also stole a heater control cable from my parts truck and now I can choose what vent heat comes out of.
In case anybody can't tell, I used a D44 out of a '74 Bronco. I added disc brakes from a '76, Chevy brake lines (Thanks Sasquatch_Ryda for that part #.) Everything else is stock parts...brakes, radius arms etc... had to shorten a stock Early Bronco track bar about an inch, and modified Early Bronco steering linkage with stock Ranger pitman arm. I have the 78-79 radius arm brackets, EB coil towers, F350 shock towers. I built my own track bar bracket and tranny crossmember. Driveline is stock '86 that is extended about 1.5" with stock u-joint. I also had to rebuild my exhaust from the y-pipe back because the cats were in the way of the tranny crossmember.
