86 Bronco Owner

redbroyer
hello all.  i am a new member from Colorado Springs, Colorado.  i was told about this site on https://www.fullsizebronco.com.  so, i've had this project Bronco for about 4 years.  when i bought it the owner said that there had been a minor fire under the hood due to fuel leaking onto the manifold.  upon inspection, it still ran, moved, and the worst thing that i saw was melted vacuum lines.  little did i know what i was getting into with regards to "just some melted vacuum lines."

so, the truck has been sitting without being started since the summer of 2018.  i have found a new buddy who has told me that he would give me a hand getting her up and running.  i purchased a new carb for it and am now in the process of replacing all the vacuum mess.  i look forward to this journey and using the resources available on this site as they seem to be VERY robust and well organized.

i am going to be posting my first "help request" post just after hitting submit on this one.  lol

Yes, welcome!  Glad you joined.  

And, I look forward to the journey of getting your truck running, and running well.  So I'll watch for your post in the main section.

By the way, we have a map (Bullnose Forum/Member's Map in the menu) and we'd be happy to add you - if that's ok by you.

You are now on the map.  We don't use addresses as we don't want people showing up on our doorsteps uninvited.
