New member 1979 BRONCO- 1986 2WD F250 460 Lariat - 1997 F250 460 4X4

This post was updated on .
Hello New member from Minnesota here.  I just picked up a 1986 F250 Lariat with a rebuilt 460 and as a bonus came with a gooseneck dovetail flatbed trailer.  The wiring is a mess previous owner has wires spliced and cobbled together everywhere.  Looking for info to get this sorted out and make a road worthy truck again. Also have a 1979 Bronco I've had since high school (graduated in 1991) that I plan to fix up.   Thanks for the add to the group!

Here is a youtube video picking up the trailer. https://youtu.be/WIds0Me9Ut0

Welcome Kevin!  

I guess you got the picture thing worked out.
There is a tutorial in the faq's. This forum does not read metadata, so you need to save your pic's in the correct orientation.

I'm sure some of us can help you with your wiring.
You will find the Electrical and Vacuum Troubleshooting Manual under: Documentation/electrical/evtm's/1986 EVTM.
Gary has them broken out pretty much by chapter.
Note that all grounds are shown in the front, and there's test procedures at the end of each chapter.
 Jim,

Too much other stuff to mention.

Welcome, Kevin/Teach!  Glad you joined.

Before going farther, let me tell you that we are in the middle of a virtual truck show.  You can read about it at Truck Shows/2020 Truck Show in the menu.  And you can see links to all of the 51 entries on the Entries tab of that page.

The last time for entries has come and gone, but for you I'll make a special offer - get your entry in by 5:00 CDT today and I'll get you in.  (I'll be working the entries fervently tonight and can't change them to add one later.)  There's nothing special required, just words and pictures if you'd like.

As for Minnesnowta, what part?  We have a map (Bullnose Forum/Members Map in the menu) and we can add you if we have a town or zip.

Welcome!

Welcome to the forum.  As you can tell, we're a friendly group and there's knowledgeable people here that are very willing to help. Gary has done a fantastic job of collecting and organizing the documentation for us all.

Love the Bronco.  And, as you'll soon see, we are not strict at all about the years or even the brands of the vehicles we post about.  I have a Super Bee that's been mentioned.  Bill/85lebaront2 has - a LeBaron T2, oddly enough, and he posts about it - when he ever does any work on it.  

And I have it on good authority that we'll see a '91 Wagoneer on here soon.  

So, please post about your Bronco.  Start a thread and track its restoration.

Keep it clean!!!!  no winters for this one.  I will probably put a gooseneck hitch on this one to pull my trailer.  If I don't do the gooseneck hitch ill put a 4" lift on it.
