EM2 HAS JUST FINISHED THIS LITTLE U15 UNCUT HALF CAB. WE BOUGHT IT IN THE DESERT AREA OF EASTERN OREGON. BEFORE THAT IT WAS IN YAKIMA , WASHINGTON WHICH IS ALSO VERY DRY.WE USED A VERY POPULAR COLOR COMBO OF TWO STAGE PPG "MEDIUM IVY GREEN METALLIC"(A FORD MOTOR COLOR) WITH A WIMBLEDON WHITE STEEL HALF CAB AND BLACK INTERIOR. THE INTERIOR GIVES US A LITTLE MORE LEG ROOM THAN THE FACTORY U14 BECAUSE THE BULKHEAD IS CUSTOM FIT. WE PRIMED THE FLOORS, USED FOIL BACKED SOUND PROOFING, AND THEN INSULATED THE CARPET. THIS LITTLE TRUCK WILL BE A TON OF FUN FOR ANYONE NOT NEEDING THE EXTRA ROOM A WAGON ALLOWS. WE INSTALLED A RECEIVER HITCH BETWEEN THE FRAME RAILS FOR THE OCCASIONAL HUNTING TRAILER OR LANDSCAPE TRAILER YOU CAN PULL. WE REALLY LIKE THE WAY IT TURNED OUT. THE ENGINE IS A VERY STRONG 351 WINDSOR WITH A NEW EDELBROCK 500 CFM 4 BARREL. THE INTAKE IS AN ALUMINUM EDELBROCK AS WELL. WE FIT THE HOOD WITH WILD HORSES HOOD SHOCKS FOR EASE OF CHECKING THINGS BUT LEFT THE HOOD PROP ROD INTACT. WE INSTALLED A NEW 800 CCA BATTERY, SOLENOID, VOLTAGE REGULATOR, DELPHI 3:1 POWER STEERING WITH SAGINAW PUMP, TWIN HORNS, WINDOW WIPER WASHER BOTTLE, NEW WIPER ARMS AND BLADES, AIR CLEANER (SO WE COULD USE A STOCK HOOD WITH THE 351) THREE GROOVE WATER PUMP PULLEY AND TWO GROOVE CRANK PULLEY, AND BELTS. THE IGNITION IS A FACTORY DURASPARK BREAKERLESS IGNITION WITH A NEW BOX. OF COURSE THE POWER STEERING HOSES ARE NEW AS WELL. WE USED THE DOUBLE BORGESON JOINT STEERING SHAFT WITH A 4" SLIP JOINT TO THE NEW STEERING WHEEL. IT RUNS VERY WELL. THE CLUTCH DOESN'T SLIP AT ALL AND THE UNDERSIDE IS DRY. THE 3:1 POWER STEERING MAKES IT VERY EASY TO STEER. THE DANA 21 TRANSFER CASE HAS A 4X4 AND 2X4 RANGE. THE NP435 IS DATE CODED 1969, SHIFTS SMOOTHLY, AND THE CLUTCH FEELS EXCELLENT. ALL IN ALL A VERY GOOD DRIVER. THE SUSPENSION HAS BEEN LIFTED WITH A 3 1/2" PROGRESSIVE COILS UP FRONT AND ADD A LEAF WITH A 2" SLANT BLOCK IN THE REAR. IT HAS NEW SKYJACKER LONG TRAVEL SHOCKS AT ALL 4 CORNERS. IT ALSO HAS BRAND NEW BRAKE SHOES, WHEEL CYLINDERS, DRUMS, AND SEALS AT ALL 4 CORNERS. THE DUAL EXHAUST SOUNDS GREAT BUT WAS ALREADY INSTALLED BY THE PREVIOUS OWNER. WE REPLACED ALL THE FLUIDS EXCEPT THE FLUID IN THE DANA 21 TRANSFER CASE WHICH LOOKED AWESOMEAND WAS FULL. WE DATED AND PUT OUR YELLOW MARK AT EVERY FLUID PLUG. THE NEW DRIVELINES ARE ALL GREASED AND THE ENGINE OIL AND FILTER (NAPA 1515)ARE NEW . WE USED DELO 400 10W-40.ANTI FREEZE IS TOPPED OFF AND GOOD TO -50 DEGREES F. THE WHEELS ARE 16X8 CHROME PLATED ALUMINUM 5 SPOKE FROM LES SCHWAB TIRES AND THE TIRES ARE 285/75R16 DEAN MUD TERRAINS AND ARE ABOUT 90% (THEY WERE ON THE MANAGERS PERSONAL BRONCO WHEN HE SOLD IT TO US) THE INTERIOR HAS NEWLY UPHOLSTERED SEATS, NEWER CARPET AND NEW DOOR PANELS. WE INSTALLED A NEW DASH COVER AND PUT THE SPEAKERS FOR THE DECK IN THE HARDTOP QUARTERS BEHIND YOUR EARS FOR REALLY DECENT SOUND. WE ALSO HAVE THE COURTESY LIGHT PLUMBED BETWEEN THE SEATS. A LOCKING SECURITY CENTER BOX IS AVAILABLE SHOULD THE BUYER WANT IT INSTALLED. THE HEADLINER IS FOAM BACKED BLACK SOUND MATERIAL AND HELPS A LOT WITH NOISE. ALL IN ALL A VERY ATTRACTIVE AND FUNCTIONAL BRONK-UP. DISCLAIMERS: AS WITH ALL OUR BRONCO, THE ABOVE MENTIONED BRONCO HALF CAB IS BEING SOLD"AS IS " AND "WHERE IS".
