Frame/Body Swap

[-ROKTOY-]

I was browsing threw the pictures on TRS, and I came across this truck.

Page: '85 Ranger On '79 Bronco Chassis

Is it an easy or fairly easy swap?

Well just off the top of my head, you'll need to probably relocate/fab your own body and bed mounts, you may need to bob the bed depending on the length, you'll need to run wiring from the chassis through the body, etc...

I know its been done a couple times before, and also with an EB frame, I think that's a little closer width-wise.

get a hold of DaveR he did the swap.

it does require some SERIOUS body mount fabrication especially for the rear cab mounts and the bed mounts. The bed ends up with somewhere around an 8-10" lift from the frame due to the design of the frame and how much it rises up in the front. If the 79 has a 460 then it needs even more work to get the cab to clear the motor, but damn does it look good with the 460 under the hood...
