Ideas for my hoopty - AKBronco - 22 Apr 09 So as anyone who has seen it will tell you my bronco is a rust bucket. I've been told to junk it/swap bodies/put a pickup cab on it and so on. The last idea gave me another idea and I know I wouldn't be the first guy ever to try it but I'm not sure what to expect and am looking for some insight. It won't be started for a couple months but good planning can help quite a bit. The idea: Pull the bronco body off, use it for whatever parts I can for whatever driver/tower bronco I buy Find a ranger cab, or cab and bed and chop the bed up and mount it to the bronco frame. I'm running a 300 six so the width there should be no problem and I think I could even cut the grill and pull the fenders in a little for more tire space up front. I'll have all the space I want out back. The plan from there may get wild or just slap a little box on the back, a bit of roll protection bumpers and tires. I guess the cab mounting is the critical part of the plan and also the part I'm not sure how to tackle Ideas for my hoopty - ARCTIC_EXPRESS - 22 Apr 09 scrap that rusty body Ideas for my hoopty - AKBronco - 22 Apr 09 Well yeah that's pretty much the plan Ideas for my hoopty - 93hummer - 22 Apr 09 I would keep the current body and sawzall the fenders out and install 40's with no lift. trim the fenders enough and you'll be cutting out most of the rust.

Ideas for my hoopty - 78calico - 22 Apr 09 Here's a good cab for you. http://www.arcticoffroad.com/forum/showthread.php?t=8338 Ideas for my hoopty - boshos - 23 Apr 09 I can alway keep my eyes open in the insurance autions if you have something specific that you want. Just let me know. Also I have a 95 f-150 cab that is in good shape other than I busted the back glass when I moved it last, no doors Ideas for my hoopty - ARCTIC_EXPRESS - 23 Apr 09 I have a good bronco body and a complete f150 cab doors and front clip Ideas for my hoopty - AKBronco - 23 Apr 09 well maybe cutting fenders out would be a good way to buy me some time. But the floor is kinda rusty and the hood has holes right through it. I guess I have more thinking to do Ideas for my hoopty - boshos - 23 Apr 09 Nothing like a Juneau rig!!
