I need some insight on a frame off restoration/revamp. I've had my 87 bronco2 since 97, I cant part with it she's my baby. I've been driving the wife's 88 standard cab shortbox as my daily driver for almost a year now. I like the standard cab but can't stand that its a 4cyl 2wd. What I want to do is put a standard cab on my B2 chassis with a short flat bed. I also figure that since I'm going through the motions why not strip the frame por-15 it and spruce it up a bit. I have two options that I can think of to due this. After finding a good donor first gen standard cab I can either A) strip down the B2 and start piecing it all back together. Or B) I can get a donor B2 strip it to the frame build all my body mounts and flat bed on the donor frame, then swap my parts over. Which way is better? I know there's people out there that have done this. Any info on what to look out for? Thanks!
