Parts, part, and parts!

Finally got the driveshaft ordered for the Bronco.  Part of the issue was figuring out what length was needed.  My '88 with a 351w (5.8) had a C6 transmission.  If in doubt you can open the driver's door and look at the sticker for "Trans Code".  To save time looking for it the C6 is "K".  The AOD will be "T" which is typically paired with the 302 (5.0).

Unfortunately, I wasn't able to figure out what size the u-joints were so I was going to measure when the driveshaft arrived but it came with the u-joints installed.  However, it also appears that the parts store really only has 1 size u joint fastener for the Bronco; I'll follow-up on my findings.

While I was at it I ordered a new blower motor to see if I can get the AC working again.  I could feel cold/hot air trickle out of the vents but never heard the blower on any setting.

I also ordered a new rear window switch.  I bypassed the switch and confirmed the rear window does work so it is the switch or wiring.
