matt4x4

Hey, I have been looking for a real cheap truck/suv. I came across 3 that interested me. '88 Bronco 4x4 and a '80 Chev Blazer with TH400 3 speed automatic. I want to know what the fullsize broncos came with. I assume they had the ford 9" rear with perhaps a C6 transmission because its a 4x4 I dont believe they came with a C4. Whats the engine in these, 351W's?

a few Links for you:

Hubs should be checked! - from above Link:
"...How come the hubs on my 87-88 Bronco are different than other Broncos?
This was another of Ford's better ideas. For '87 and '88 Ford used a one-piece locking hub assembly. This hub simply sits between the wheel and brake rotor and is held in place by the wheel studs. This type of hub is very easy to remove (simply remove the wheel), but it is different from all other Broncos and therefore parts and replacement hubs are expensive and hard to find.

To convert your 87-88 Bronco to the "standard" hubs you'll need to swap all the parts from the spindle out from a Bronco or F-150. It may even be possible to take these parts from any vehicle with a Dana 44 front axle and the same wheel bolt pattern as the Bronco (5 on 5.5"). If you are considering this swap it would be a good time to consider the 8 lug axle swap you've always wanted (see section 10.2)...."
