How hard is it to do a body swap?

[nate12346]

I have my completely destroyed bronco II body that needs to come off and be replaced with a new one.

what all needs to happen before you can lift the body off?

Thanks a ton

Disconnect battery. Disconnect wiring for front marker lights. unbolt accessories from inner fender. Unbolt hood and remove. Unbolt fenders from cab and remove/grind off bolts connecting radiator core support. Remove upper and lower radiator hoses and tranny cooling lines if applicable. Remove front clip with friends, or remove fenders one at a time and remove grille, core support. Disconnect wiring going into firewall on driver's side, disconnect throttle linkage, disconnect clutch from bellhousing, disconnect brake lines from master cylinder, disconnect heater hoses and a/c if applicable from firewall, disconnect wiring for taillights on frame, then remove any interior parts/doors/lift gate/spare tire rack/clutch pedal/brake master cylinder/seats/dash that you wish to remove weight. Remove bolts securing cab to frame. Remove cab.

been there dont that

the fenders don't need to come off,

taillght wire harness needs disconnecting, as do the rad hoses, a couple grounding straps, fuel filler, steering shaft (1 bolt) 2 brake lines @ master cylinder, clutch line (if its manual) pull your shift knobs off and that is literally about all it takes
