1988 Ford Bronco 2 FIRST DRIVE after T18/NP205 swap!

Hello and welcome to my channel!

Quite a bit has been completed since I last recorded. I got in a rush due to having to get the wife's car into the garage to do some repairs. Well the T18 and the NP205 are fully installed and I encounter a problem where I forgot to put the alignment pins in the fly wheel to get the pressure plate centered. I pull the B2 out of the garage for the first time since starting the transmission swap! Also you'll meet the explorer and my 1975 early Bronco. There will be a delay in B2 videos due to repairing the explorer!

I can't tell you where I saw him driving that back in the day, but yeah. Ted Nugent's zebra strip truck, his body guard drove it a lot too. He came into town in other vehicles.
