JoshTurner 01-09-2007, 05:58 PM I was wondering how much of a differance the Bronco 2 body is from the EB frame??? Im looking at doing the swap Is this a close swap?? easy? Not worth it? Thanks for any info... JoshTurner 01-10-2007, 01:50 AM Anyone???? Gummi Bear 01-10-2007, 08:02 AM Why is the question that comes to mind... Ditch the B2, stick an EB body on the EB frame. The B2 and the EB are dimensionally similar. I'd say that it might not be that bad. I've seen a few Ranger cabs on EB frames. It'll take some doing, but it can't be all that bad. 93chico4by 01-10-2007, 10:18 AM i am doing that exact swap right now. The EB frame is very close to the b2 frame. But different enough that new mounts will need to be made for everything. i am stripping it down to bare frame rails and building all new crossmembers/bodymounts. Stay tuned in the next few months for a build up thread. OX 01-10-2007, 11:32 AM Why is the question that comes to mind... Ditch the B2, stick an EB body on the EB frame.

Because you can buy a mint BII body for less than new EB fender maybe?? Then trash the crap out of it and buy another body. Repeat 12 times, still cheaper than one EB body restore.............

Agreed, but if you wheel hard enough, it won't look like anything recognizable anyway, so might as well go cheap.

I may just do the ranger cab thing also...Havent decided yet leserz 01-10-2007, 06:08 PM my 5 cents worth .build it any way you want ,your time , money. if it's fun to you that's all that matters.go fot it.:D jakerngr 01-10-2007, 07:10 PM eb frame deuce body with the back chopped into a pickup now that would be cool 93chico4by 01-11-2007, 12:00 AM The big differences, as i have the EB frame in my garage right now, and a B2 parked on top of it, is that the EB frame is parallel all the way back and appx. 4"x3" boxed all the way. the B2 frame is almost exactly the same width as the EB in the very front, but starts flaring right behind the coil buckets, and stops flaring out at about the rear spring hangers. it is only boxed a short portion around the steering box and engine mounts. The overall length of the two are within 2". | |
