Leaving in 36 hours for the Northwest bronco Roundup, nothing like tearing the whole rear end apart for a rebuild right before you leave!

Obviously the rearend rebuild went well :D.
Looks like Florence Oregon by the color of the sand??

Well it's back together hahahaha. Need to rebuilt the t case also. It still has a vibration.

You are good, we are in Florence for the week!
 
Heh, heh, I cheated - looked up the Bronco Roundup and saw it was in Florence, though I have been there long ago, camped at the Honeyman State Park on the dunes - awesome scenery. Guess it was in the 80's, we rented Honda Odysseys and burned around in the dunes, snuck out of their little legit area and went for miles - good times!

Went out tonight for a sand cruise. Foggy but fun

After returning from our beach trip I had a bigger Todo list on ol Berta. I was going to wait till next spring to start the big stuff. That wasn't a good plan evidently hahaha
I have a drive I was supposed to take the gasser on next weekend but bending a valve in it last week ended that dream:mad:
Berta to the rescue!! But not without some love, the big issue is the t case. It has a vibration. I have had a rebuild kit for it for a few months. I guess I get to install it now.
Also doing a jb fab twin stick on it.

Tunes are on the list also. Score a 1979 Ford 8 track player!! Should be cool. I bought a 8 track to cassette adapter that is new in box!! Then I picked up a Bluetooth cassette adapter, modern to retro!!

You can't beat the sound of those old factory radios. I had the cassette version in my old 84 F150, sounded good even without an amp. I had a couple of those 8 track to cassette adapters back in the day, too.
