Hstrymkrs Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 I have reaquired a 1985 Ford Bronco that I hope to restore to function. It has the inline 6, and if all goes well I will start the disassembly tomorrow. I bought it in 1998 when I returned home from being stationed in Germany. It was by far my most favorite vehicle and I was impressed with its towing capabilities. I had to sell it in 2002 when the family started growing and it became less practical for raising young children. The good news is that I sold it to my father. We have worked out a deal, and he is bringing it up to Kentucky from Georgia tonight. I appreciate people like yourselves who enjoy learning and sharing your knowledge. I know that I will learn a lot from you all. I will update my data once the truck is here and I can get the transmission identified and the rear end, etc. Thank you all in advance.

Gary Lewis Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 Welcome! Sure glad you got your own Bronco back. That's cool! I assume you know, but just in case, you can decode the certification label here: Specifications/Certification Label. From there you can click on the links to determine what transmission and rear axle it has. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The data plate on my Bronco, which just arrived about an hour ago, is faded and is unlegible, so I have no idea about the date. I can get the VIN off the dash, but that is all. I will have to crawl underneath it tomorrow and get the transmission, transfer case, and the rear end numbers. Thanks, again. William Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

844rd Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 Welcome! Hope you enjoy fixing up your new truck. Like that 300 6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not bothered by the extraneous posts. The good news is that I tried to read my Certification label with a black light, then I had my wife put it in Photoshop to adjust the color spectrums. Now it is mostly readable, and I have the VIN from the dash board. Here is the original Here is the reworked label Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
