i was looking at an issue of some bronco magazine and saw an advertisment for a fiberglass tub of an early bronco.
then i thought, "could a persone take a ranger frame or a BII frame and put the early bronk onto it?" kinda like what the "urban gorilla" or the "bummer" kits are like.

this way, you'd have an early bronk running either a 3.0 or 4.0L.


any thoughts or imput?

 

Well, considering the dimensions aren't that much different, I'm sure it would work. The first gen Bronco's aren't that much bigger then a B2. In fact, I think they are only about 6 inches wider, and just a tiny bit longer.

 

i wonder if the mounts are in the same locations and if it's a manual used, if the shifter(s) come through the floor in the same location(s)

 

Alright. I got bored, and decided to check it out.

The old Bronco was a half inch wider then the B2. The B2 was 2 inches longer.

The old Bronco, from what I know off the top of my head, had a 3 on the tree for a manual, but it is a common swap to do 4 on the floor. Then again, they may have used the 4 for the inline six's they had, but again, I am not 100% sure.

I have no idea on the mounting locations.

 

One way to find out. DOIT!

 

are you able to compare and take measurements of both vehicles or do you kno someone who can help you with this?

 

I'm sure there would be some fab work, but it shouldn't be too bad. Fiberglass = no rust!

 

its just like the kits you can get of full size humvee shells made of fiberglass for suburbans and other trucks including rangers
