Reid Knuckles/High Steer Arms-Ford Dana 60 Kingpin

I have a set of Reid Knuckles for a Ford Dana 60 (kingpin) for sale. These knuckles came on a Dana 60 I bought for my Bronco, but I already had a set of Solid knuckles and arms I plan to use. The knuckles are in good condition and appear to have very little use. They will come with the studs for the...

Re: 1969 Ford Bronco

Here are a few more pictures of the 1979 Dana 60. Just to make sure everything fit, I removed one of the Reid knuckles and installed one of the Solid knuckles with a Crane kingpin spring eliminator bushing. Currently I am planning to sell the Reid knuckles. I had picked up the Solid knuckles a few m...

Re: 1969 Ford Bronco

Work on the bronco has been a little slow recently, but things are still moving forward. The Bronco Round up at Roush Creek is coming quickly, and I have quite a bit to do in the next few weeks. Either way here is a little update on the recent work: -Finished rebuilding the front clip of the bronco ...

Re: 1969 Ford Bronco

The head unit installed in the bronco is a nicer unit, I am hoping its a bit more durable than the cheaper stereos you can get these days. I am thinking of putting covers over the front and back of the stereo box with downward facing vents. This should let the stereo vent heat while still being some...

Re: 1969 Ford Bronco

Ventilation is the only concern I have. I can seal off the head unit box, but then I chance overheating the stereo. I need to do a little more research on the amount of heat produced by the head unit.

Re: 1969 Ford Bronco

With 20"+ of snow, I decided it wasn't the right day to work outside bending tube for the front of the bronco. Instead I worked on finishing up the sound system in the bronco. I have had issues placing the stereo head unit in the dash board due to limited space on the dash and behind it. Becaus...

Re: 1969 Ford Bronco

This summer at a local 4x4 event I managed to break my driver side RCV joint. I decided it was time to start looking for a HP Dana 60. I have yet to pull the trigger on a complete Dana 60, but I have been keeping my eye out for a good deal on parts. This weekend I found a steal on a set of new Solid...

Re: 1969 Ford Bronco

Since I have gotten it I have: -Rebuilt the radius arms/radius arm mounts -Rewired a bunch of circuits behind the dash and installed two new fuse boxes -Installed a sound system and buil...

Re: 1969 Ford Bronco

Thanks for the information Grubb. Due to the confusion about the engine in the Bronco I went straight to the source and asked the previous owner about the motor. The bottom end is a 400, bored .030 over. The heads are Australian 302Cs with Ferrea stainless valves and roller rockers. Since its a &quo...

Re: 1969 Ford Bronco

Thank you for the information. By no means am I a Ford engine expert, I am learning as I go. When I bought the Bronco I was told it was a stroked Cleveland. I will have to look into it and find out what engine is really in the Bronco. Either way I am very excited about the rig and I am hoping to get...

Re: 1969 Ford Bronco

After digging through some old forums I have found some images of the engine that is currently in the Bronco. http://i1294.photobucket.com/albums/b604/gwparas/1969%20Ford%20Bronco/engine%202_zpsc662p4bf.jpg http://i1294.photobucket.com/albums/b604/gwparas/1969%20Ford%20Bronco/engine%201_zpswsp3fazr....

Re: 1969 Ford Bronco

These are all older pictures of the chassis. The engine that is in the vehicle now is a light blue color. I believe I have some images of it but I am going to do a little more research.

Re: 1969 Ford Bronco

Since the Bronco is back home I haven't had much time to dig into it, but the Bronco has a 351 Cleveland stroked to a 408 with Australian Ford Heads. The previous owner was a long time friend who was into built 351 Clevelands. I have been trying to piece together some old photos of the rig from diff...
