Welcome! Glad you joined.

Are you looking for some to rebuild the engine, transmission, or the whole vehicle? And where are you located? Some of us might know of local guys in certain areas

Thanks for the reply. I live in North Carolina and I am looking for someone to just rebuild the transmission

Give us a zip so we have a clue!

Mat from TN, who's now in NC may be your guy (or know someone)

Tranny's are bulky and heavy to ship. 💡

I hope it is ok, but I put you on our map using your zip, which you can see at Bullnose Forum/Member's Map in the menu. If you don't want that I can easily remove you.

We have a bunch of NC members
I think Dave Grant has been recruiting at the Hot Rod shows and cruise-in's he attends.

Re: 1986 Ford Bronco

welcome. I'm not versed in the rts enough to claim that I would rebuild one for someone else just yet. I have not done a parts search for what is available. I do have one in my truck and have a spare also on the shelf both 2wd. but I'm busy enough with aods these days. however, what are the issues you are having leading you to want a rebuild? what t case is there?

Re: 1986 Ford Bronco

I looked on the map for your zip code. we are about 25 miles apart. I'm in Lexington on the cotton grove side. do you ever go to cruise ins? we have a good one in Lexington the second Tuesday each month. I'm usually attending.

He is a few hours from me as I am 30 min. east of Raleigh.

As Mat said I dont know what parts you can get for that transmission to start with and the big one dont know anyone even around here that could rebuild it.

I do have a pretty big car / big rig show in Kenly NC at the big truck stop and can ask around.

Re: 1986 Ford Bronco

Yes I might try and come down and see what all is there .

Re: 1986 Ford Bronco

The show is at the Petro Truck stop in Kenly NC It is exit 106 off I95

You got to see the show room inside the building.
It has a full size truck & trailer and think 3 pickup trucks inside IIRC.
Anything you would ever want for your truck and maybe car, they have it.

The car show was pretty big, a mix of everything.
Then you have the big rig show also.
Some of them are just over the top

I will be with my car club group, should have a bunch of us there.

Do they have wreckers and tow trucks?
There's a special type of 'polisher' that seems to get off on flashing lights and sirens.
