Someone forgot to tighten the bolts.

Videos like that are what make me worry about every bolt..
Remember every fastener has a torque spec!
It was probably a team of guys that put the rear end in. One thought the other tightened the bolts. Bottom line, no one did.
What was the silliest one here lately? I remember reading it but I can't remember what it was.

i learned that the hard way.. i air gunned my u-bolts and couldn't get the rear end to go up or down at all.. spent a year thinking it was the springs.. actually torqued the u-bolts proper and it rides like butter now

well...... tighter always sounds better to me.. after that video i wanna go home and give my u-bolts a extra turnA 1/2" impact does the trick.
So I took the family out to dinner tonight at a little roadside restaurant. Always pretty cool to be eating next to the street. It's a Vietnamese thing.....$27 USD ...KKKKKK

That road trip and it's goals sound like fun. There just aren't any fun Hot Rod shops around here anymore. Go to the tire shop, look at their computer catalog and order
Heck! I can do that at home 
Yup. For many yeard i heard a popping sound from under the power wagon. Turns out it was a busted u-bolt on the left rear, and diff has been shifting on and off the spring centre bolt. I put that truck through lots of crap.
I'm working on the ad for my 66. What should I ask for a starting price? $18,000 sounds like too much. $16,000 sounds better but that doesn't give me much room to deal.
I would start at 18. You can always come down, little hard going up.

I assume you are trying to get 15? go $17,800... settle at 15.5... 17.8 sounds bettter than 18 without being like $17,999

In the recent past when I was shopping the vintage market I did notice that I never saw a Vintage Bronco for under $50K, unless it was totally thrashed
Good idea.
So $50,000 it is..In the recent past when I was shopping the vintage market I did notice that I never saw a Vintage Bronco for under $50K, unless it was totally thrashed
