SAS donor? '79 Bronc on eBay

[j602]

Found this while cruising eBay. Thought it might be a good donor for a D44/9" swap. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=4541222504&category=6222

Come on Josh, you know you want 4WD!


I'll be sure to keep an eye on this.

I was gonna say looks like a nice truck for $200! Then I clicked on the other pics...

That I do. Once I get a real, good job with some moolah, I'll get another DD like an SD or something. Then it will happen. And Bryan, this thing ain't that far from you, and it's cheap! Pick it up man.

Yeah the body is definitely "used" to say the least. The rest of it is great though. Hell you could use everything! Do an entire drivetrain swap. It didn't sell the last time it was on so he relisted. Guessing due to a deadbeat bidder or something.

I just talked to my dad about it, and he said keep an eye on it. This is good, b/c it isn't a no. Plus, I'd be able to temporarily use those tires/wheels until I get the money for some new ones.

 

[j602]

There we go.

Nevermind, it's up to $500 now. Being 4 hours away, it will be way to much for that condition, since gas costs so much. If it were in better condition, I'd think about it. But that thing looks like $hit on the passenger side and rear!

 

[j602]

Why do you care what the body looks like?

I wouldn't have to spend near that much to get the axles from somewhere closer. We don't have much room to put that thing, and if I was buying something complete, it would be much easier to sell the entire thing minus the axles if it looks purty. Hell, if I wasn't 17, I'd buy that for parts and use the axles, etc. for my X and then use the engine, etc. to put into my friends '89 F-250 that I can get for $1000 in pretty good condition. Then I'd have a nice tow rig too.

I really just don't have the time or the tools to pull an engine and part out a truck.

Ah, I see.

The 79 d44 will work BUT a pre 78 axle is alittle easier since you can just grind the c-mounts off and move them inwards. It will work but it takes alittle more to get it in. Now...having said that....i have a 79 d44 lol, i'll be extending the ra's which will make it possible to mount it using a set of aftermarket mounts (can also use the mounts that come on the bronco...in fact you should). The 79 will work fine, just have slightly more work .

But aren't ALL 66-77 Broncos low pinion, or did they become high pinions somewhere during that time?
