Need suggestions for a new body for the bronco

[Broncocustom]

I made a post in the wanted area but I thought I would post here and get some ideas from everyone. I want to junk the bronco body for something that is not all rusted.

I would like something smaller then the bronco. I read the post that seth had made and the response about the scouts. I can get a scout for around $600. How hard is it to get things like doors or a roof for a scout and would they be expensive.

I am open for any vehicle ideas. I plan on using my current drive train so I do not care if the vehicle is 2wd or has a weak drivetrain.

why not use the F1 stuff like you had originally planned on doing...

[Broncocustom]

At this time I still want to save the F1 for a nice street truck, to be worked on when I am older or Amie makes me work onit or get rid of it.

I could probably let a pair of doors in fair condition go for cheep. I don't have any tops I could let go right now that are worth a sh it. If you decide against the scout you had in mind, I might be interested in it, always in the market for a scout. The cheapest way I have found to obtain parts is to buy entire vheicles and take what you want off of it, (350 for a running, driving scout) Most scouts I know have a fair bit of rust on them, kind of a downfall. I say use a scout body though, we don't have enough scouts in this club. By nature I can't approve of the ford drivetrain, but a scout on 42's would be badass regardless of motorvation.

MUSTANG II body... Nah I think it would be cool to just put a truck cab on it and chop the top...maybe build a cutom flatbed... not many folks use truck cabs...would be kinda sweet... 78-79 highboy cab... those look good too.

I know your workin on your bronco over there in toyota land, but why not stretch a CJ or YJ tub and have the biggest Jeep on the trails?

[robertf03]

heres a guy who was putting a YJ tub on a dodge 1 ton frame until the tires and rear axle were stolen.

[StevenAg03]

is that the guy that had the brand new 44'" Boggers stolen?? what ever came of his jeep...i heard they stole everything except the frame and engine...

[Krawler68]

damn that sucks.... and James...just say no to YJ...

[StevenAg03]

i would put one of those damned square head lighted vehicle bodies on a project before an EB body..

[Krawler68]

Note: no one ever suggested an EB body... hell a Mustang II would be cooler than an EB body... Hell I want to put a Bronco II body on my EB because of how much I hate the EB body... :Flipoff2: damn I want that graemiln.

The cops found the frame, engine, and front 60 on a ditch on the side of somehighway northeast of Dallas. Whoever stole it was obviously a dumbass if they didn't take the 60.

NO JEEPS!!!!

I thought about only using a cab and front and making a bed. I also do not want an EB, because then I would be compared to Doug and nobody wants that. I plan on finding a hole truck to buy and not buying each body part by it self. What ever I get will get FORD badges on it.

If your not doing a Jeep tub then I'd have to vote on the scout tub.

Doesn't Ford use IH diesels? That would make it almost factory.

You should set up a poll

Scout tub
EB tub
stretched Geo Metro tub
Nissan Patrol tub

custom sheetmetal or leave it the way it is.

He will NEVER finish if he keeps adding stuff to do. If you want fullsize, keep what you have.
