Oh my…we’ve all thought about it. He took his $60k plus new Bronco and did it!

 

[JimmyDean]

that was a 2 door bronco.

he chopped up a top from a two-too-many-doors bronco, not a Bronco.

50 years ago this would have been a factory option, keep it up!

Chopped up a more doors top

 

[telenerd]

I want.

 

[JimmyDean]

that's not really true. his powertrain warranty would still be valid, and cutting rollbars does not necessarily total the vehicle. some of that is location dependant.

Almost done so I thought I'd start a thread.

Chopped up a bronco more-doors top and did some fab work. Got a few adjustments to make and a final sand and paint, but overall I'm satisfied so far.

The front two top panels still lock in place to the new half-cab the same way, and they are obviously still removable.

The Bronco top is nearly 3 ” narrower in the rear than at the B pillar,.so this presents a bit of an issue. Some massage is needed to make up for the wider B-pillar and get the rear of the old top to match up well with the middle of the truck.

I made sure I can still use my old MIC 2 top ... and I will add 4130
inserts to the roll bar at each end that can be bolted in with aircraft grade fasteners. The roll bar will be removable.
The original hard top is still usable and now I have two top options.

I will build a bolt-on bulkhead across the front of the bed that will match up with the bottom of the window. The window is the same, so the defrost, wiper and washer will all be functional.

The side curtain airbags did need removed, and I plan on installing a set from a 2dr F150 in the near future, as they appear to be installed in the same area and fashion.

I also ordered a new back roll bar cross support that I will build into a removable cross support while the half cab is installed.


Still have lots to do.

Bulkhead

Speaker pod mounts.

Tail gate

Tool boxes built into bed.

Here's a few pics of my progress. It's a bit dusty as I'm still sanding here and there.

People like you are incredible to me in your talents. I have no idea where I would even begin doing this much less know how to imagine it. Looks great. Hope you enjoy it.

There are a lot of incredible people on this forum I have come to find. I am just an average joe in admiration.

Are you for hire?

How are making up for the lost structural rigidity?

 

[Pitpup]

Peeps like you sadden me. Have you never had a dream? Ever? It's his Bronco, why do you care? For some it's not about the money. It's about being different. If I saw his build at a car show, I would be like "Hells yeah!" Would I do this to my Bronco? No. But I admire the hell out of this project.

This is what I was hoping for when the Bronco pictures were first released, especially in the moar door. That you could just take the middle roof panel out and move the rear cab forward to turn it into a pickup.
