Good little informative video. That bronco is coming along nicely. You're gonna make some tall dollar on that one. If the top looks like the bottom half you should ask at least 85k🤙

I'm in the middle of a frame-off resto and your videos are awesome- this one is especially timely and saved me countless hours of searching. Thank you! Is there any concern to torquing the chassis bolts without weight on?

[NickCaravelli]

hey what was the fix for the clearance issue of the rear shock and the leaf spring? Looks like you didn't even have to use the longer bolt and sleeve.

Your content is dope. I know I'm resurrecting an old one here but I have an old school chilton manual for 66 to 86 broncos and the 66-77 shows the giant pitman arm nut at 170 to 230 ft/lbs and the drag links at 40 ftt/lbs. Have @nashville or anyone else for that matter had any luck with these? Truck is a 66 but I'm adding power steering. Thx in advance!
