    So 2 things about Chris....
    1. He can tell the psi of fuel just by touching it...
    2. He is easily distracted by trains 😂😂😂

    Loving the frequent videos Chris! I am recovering from what should have been a straightforward procedure that sent me into cardiac arrest on the operating table. The body is healing but the mind will take a while to get over needing CPR, etc. Your videos are helping to keep those demons at bay.

      It is rough. I'm on my 3rd(1st was adopted at 5) and at 43 with a 9 month old I feel pretty tired. However, as I lay here with her passed out on me wasting my day off it makes me feel panic that she is going to grow up. When she sees me she just smiles so big. She will always love me but it won't always be this pure if you know what I mean.
      Seeing that little smile of pure joy just feels me with.. uh.. rage. lol. I used to be that happy. The world is pretty dumb and watching her happiness while she doesn't know better is probably the closest I'll ever get again. lol

    YAY A BRONCO! I enjoy watching you mess with anything. An 88 Bronco was my first vehicle so I’m very familiar with those things. Honestly for being a Jersey truck I would have expected worse rust because they rusted pretty bad. I’m from Pittsburgh so I see similar. Your right they never made 2wd full size bronco in the US.

    A 429 ThunderChicken!! I used to have a '67 Tbird with the 390. If you're going to work on it, make sure you bring a spool of vacuum hose. There's a nipple on the back of the carbeuretor riser plate that often breaks off, drove me crazy trying to tune it before I found the vacuum leak. Some of your vacuum features are the hide-away headlights, tilt-away steering column when you open the door, and a rear window fresh air vent. Awesome car, like you're floating on the highway. Should be worth 3k at least.

    Yes, as a father of 4, kids are a LOT of work. Definitely worth it and it makes us appreciate what our parents went through. Keep making these videos as I watch them religiously. Growing up in the 70's, my friends and I worked on our cars ourselves. Easy to do and could not afford a mechanic anyway. My favorite car was a 1969 Nova. Rusted out to the hilt but the 250 six ran great. Paid $130 for it in 1978.

    Very awesome.I drive a 1990 f150 with the 300, and it has 425k. I bought it new in 1991 when I was 16. It was my first car. It has the OG engine and transmission. However, I have deleted the car, smog pump, charcoal can, and about 75% of the vacuum lines. The AC is still cold, and I drive it 50 miles a day roundtrip to work. The best thing about old Ford trucks is that the parts are dirty, cheap, and abundant.

  • @heliarche
    @heliarche 15 днів тому +14

    I bought a running driving 89 Bronco with a plow for $1600. It's rotted out horribly. I bought it only because the tailgate was solid and complete. The previous owner was getting inundated with messages about that aluminum panel on the tailgate. Would he sell just that. He wanted rid of the entire thing but people were offering good money for just that aluminum thing. The one I bought for parts paid me back just with the tailgate. I sold the entire plow rig for $300. I ended up using the engine from it as well. Turns out it was freshly overhauled. Bored to .030" over on the cylinders, new everything. Fresh out of the shop. Then all the other little parts I've picked from it over the years, it's been a life saver. Yours for $800 fairly complete and not looking bad at all, that's a hell of a deal. Around here, even with the rot underneath and the front U joints, $1200 is a great deal especially for someone like me. I daily mine and I'm trying to keep it going as long as I can. For me that's a gold mine. And a title. It would never see the road again for me but that it has a title might mean something to someone else.

    In the 80's I was working at a Ford dealership a bunch of guy's were going 4 wheeling . The owners son took out a brand new Bronco when we got to the trails we took the roof off. At the end of the day we went back to get it and someone had stolen it. It poured rain all the way home needless to say his father was not happy.

    I always thought TPS report was an Office Space meme but NKNH proves it's real and yeah just disconnect it to fix your engine issue. Once again this guy's mechanical genius humbles me. Absolute favorite UA-camr. And yeah that Bronco was a steal for $800. Replace the U-joint, sort the circuitry issue with the 4 wheel engagement and you got yourself a poor man's range rover. Those rigs are underrated because they were everywhere. But now not so much.

I’m only young being 22 but it’s great to see some different vehicles to what’s over here in Aus but nonetheless, nice to see something new and different! I’ve been watching for a while now and I reckon I’ve almost seen every video with it being such a vast range of different things and just being down right entertaining to watch! Love the will it run videos as well, amazing to see just how you get vehicles to run whether it’s a car, truck or a tractor it’s all entertaining and a lot of fun to watch!Also congrats on the little one!

    Definitely has value and huge potential. I would not sell for under $1800. The TBird 429 is in my opinion worth approximately $3500 - possibly more if it runs and drives. The hide away headlights are a very desirable feature that could also add value if functionality is correct.

    I've owned a 76 Bronco that I sold prior to my service years then later bought a 95 Eddie Bauer that with it's 5.0 liter towed a 6000lb 30 foot walkaround boat from Florida to WA State. That 5.0 handled it really well although I had to keep the speeds normal due to the short wheelbase towing that big of a boat. (Weight wise within that 95's tow capacity. Prior to the tow job the 95 spent about a year in the Bahamas before being shipped back to Florida and the big move to the west. I only parted with the 95 with it's bench seat behind the two buckets as it was tough to setup the kids carseats and I migrated to a supercrew. I wish I had never parted with the 76. Keep up the good work fixing things Chris..

    Interesting fact. The north american hunting club was a thing back in the day. I joined the lifetime membership and so did a lot of other people. If you were a lifetime member they would send you hunting items to test. Well, something happened and they stopped putting out the magazine and stopped sending things to test. They basically took our money and folded. I'm still annoyed, it was like 300 and something or something like that to join the lifetime membership. I remember making payments. That was back in the 90s so like 5000 dollars now adjusted for inflation and they just took our money.

    Love the Bronco. Lots of rust as you would expect for your locale. However, I think you might have saved it in the nick of time. You could definitely make a nice profit parting her out. However I hope someone wants to pony up and save her. Thanks Chris
