1986 Ford Bronco

[wagonerinc]

I have a Full size 1986 ford Bronco 4X4 with the T-170 rts transmission and looking for a rebuilder does anyone know of a company?

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

[wagonerinc]

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

Welcome!

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.  💡

[wagonerinc]

The zip is 27265

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.

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?

[mat in tn]

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.

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

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.

when is this car/truck show?

[ArdWrknTrk]

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

If we talk about the Kenly 95 Truckers Jamboree, it is this weekend.
