Ryoken's 96 Furd twofiddy

[ryoken]

new one is less than used one with no pictures of condition

the new concerns me, the seller doesn't have stellar feedback...

i actually sent that assembled 2wd rig guy asking him if it's rust free, or any pics... i'll buy it... worth it to save that time..... blast it, prime, paint....


this guy wants 750.. i'd pay 450 all day shipped...

tho this new seller looks more a bit more reputable.. about the same deal.. it's the dizzle, and it has the condenser tabs too.....

I love this body style, plus standard, and diesel?! So much drool and envy over here.

Sorry about the discontinued parts woes, but dang, this thing is sweeeet!

thanks, should be a good alternative/replacement for Blackie.... worth saving...

i really wanna get a clean used one... definitely gonna return the gasser next week... even if i went for that "new" aftermarket one....

so, for the afermarket, Jeffs bronco graveyard has it for 480 shipped.. i'd be comfortable buying from them.... very reputable.. and i can call em to order it.......

that used 2wd rig one countered my offer of 425 at 460 shipped... they said it's rust free... I'll decide over the next day or so which to go with...

I have done business with Jeff's Bronco Graveyard, no compliants

 

[max 02]

I think I would go with the Bronco graveyard.

 

[ryoken]

gonna call them monday.. they have casual hrs....

oh, and yes, it has a front main seal leak too....

was glad to see the back tank gauge working when I added the 7 gals from the front tho...

Jeff’s is good people. Bought a few parts from them when building the bronco.

 

[ryoken]

what do you all think of this "carry the body color over to the grill surround" treatment?

 

[centexk5]

The right colors it’s ok but most of the time it’s too much.

Chromado!

 

[ryoken]

Chromado!

I despise chrome the majority of the time.....

 

[obijuank5]

We can tell but OEM chrome is just right.

 

[diesel4me]

Black out grille with that orange would pop too..

 

[ryoken]

I actually like the blacked out billet grills on these a lot, but I have concerns about them being chincy POS's at $50...

Tank is out....

 

[diesel4me]

I'd just use flat black spray paint....but that's just me..

 

[ryoken]

We can tell but OEM chrome is just right.

with the red/white I'm ok with it, if it wasn't so shabby... wearing off in many places, etc.. i was considering reshooting the deep grill areas a satin black and shooting all the chrome the argent silver.... cuz it's easy, cheap and all gonna be apart doing the support anyway... oh and, fug doing the support the "red" of the truck, it's going freebie black awlgrip ..... the bumper needs to go at some point, the lower lip actually has rot holes.... but for now it'll go back on...

 

[ryoken]

here's the blurry blob of a cab bushing above that tank... thing is friggin huge.. now it's a round cracked blob....

pretty sure next time i get into this rig, I'm not gonna be a happy camper... gonna start working on getting the 4 main cab mounts undone... backs i can cut, but the 2 fronts, ehhh.. i can see I'm gonna be pulling carpet up and checking the floor for body plugs hopefully...

Iirc, the front cab bolts are thru-bolts. I did a '96 cab swap onto an '87 frame, but that was nearly 20 years ago.

I really dig the monochrome orange too.
