Re: Bronco???
Gonna make this quick. There is no such thing as a FSC Bronco. There is a FS Bronco, the C stands for Chevy.

Re: Bronco???
My dad had 2 of the smaller(not full size) bronco's. A old style and a new style. The old one was bullet proof, a little less power but the German engine just would not die. After the body fell apart he got a new style (86?).
He was gone through 3 sets of heads before he finally quit fixing it. The new style had the 2.9 L Cologne V6, it was junk. Common to crack heads.

Re: Bronco???
I have had a couple of them. They rust in the wheel arch and the rear gate big time. With the 5.8L they run good for the most part. My main problems were rust and the front suspension, the twin beam deal sucks.

No such creature exists. FSC = Full Size Chevy
A friend of mine had a 1990 full size Ford Bronco Eddie Bauer. It was a pretty nice truck, but the TTB front suspension ate tires like a mo fo. The 302 didn't make much power, but being a 302 it wouldn't be too expensive to modify it. My buddy had a lot of problems with the rear window and rust as well.
I'm more of a K5 guy, but to each his own.
The old school first generation Broncos are pretty cool looking.

Re: Bronco???
I had a 85 Eddie Bauer 4x4 back in the day. The thing had over 300k on the body and trany. Lucky for me it did not have the above said rust. I did have trouble with the back power window and the driver door lock. Before I traded it the rear end was going.

Re: Bronco???
I had a '85 Eddie Bauer Bronco and loved that thing. Got a hole in the oil pan and didn't notice and blew the engine. We never fixed it, wish we would've. The Eddie Bauer had the most comfortable seats.

TTB is ideal for 4wd long travel suspension over IFS. it had its fair share of problems but it was not junk. i am running 40" ground hawgs on a TTB D50

Elaborate. How do you justify this claim?

Re: Bronco???
If you get the right year you can get- 302, 4 speed, Dana 20, Dana 44, and a 9 inch. Some of them were avaiable with a half cab also.
