Unique front.

Here's one only a true bronco lover will know. My next Bronco will be a 78-79. Has anyone seen or heard of a 67ish-72ish F-series front end put on one of those. I would love to do it but not sure how much fabrication would need to be done. That would be truly a unique Bronco.

Body likes are all wrong. Dent side vs bump side. Easier to put a 74-76 front end on.

Bummer. Really like the turn signals below the headlights like the earlier trucks. Cleaner grille.

Dont get me wrong, I like the 78-79 grille. I was wanting to go even more unique by putting 67-72 era grille in there. I want something nobody else has. Not many anyway.

Back when I had my 78 I remember reading somewhere that "maybe" someone was able to take a bumpside grills turn it upside down and got it to kinda line up on the dentside body. I remember them saying it might work but never saw or heard if it did.

If your good at welding you could always make a 67-72 body for your Bronco.
