78/79 Bronco question...

Who else has one of these?

Where did you get it?

Who makes them? I can not find a manufacture name, no where on it.

Is there a panel that is made to go below it? One that came with the factory made upper part?

And what is it worth in your opinion?

That's a half cab conversion, the part below it in the picture goes with it, and brackets to mount it. Creative Products made them, I'm sure other companies did too. Here is one in the classifieds on JGB for $750.

Thanks for the link. And here is a link to some info, just a little. Maybe it will help with 78/79 Broncos? https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1...then-some.html

Hey Rich, do you stumble across any frames or rolling chassis for a 78-79 down your way (when you're home anyway). I need a frame.....

I have 2 chassis, one is a retired tough truck rig that has had a hard life, but it is a frame and what's left of a body.....

Other is my rearended parts bronco, I think the back end is shoved a bit over though?

I do know where one is in a P&P JY down the road in Springfield Mo. Interested in a road trip? Wayland Mi seems a long ways away?

I now that JY Bronco is still there, I just called and checked on it the other day.

Here is the company that had the 78/79 Bronco, last time I seen it (1 year ago?) it was a complete rig. I was trying to find parts that I needed, but left it alone and pretty much complete. Bayless Companies Auto Parts and Truck Parts Salvage Cars For Sales in MO Missouri

Also call these guys across the street, all inventory is computerized. Pick-n-Pull » Home

One more u pull it...Buddy's Upull and close and all on commuter: Stutesmun Salvage Seen Bronco's here but it has been a while.

I've actually messaged the guy on the visor. It's been on there for sale for about 6 months and he won't call back. Lol

Nope, after multiple messages I gave up on him.

I did find a rolling chassis in Florida. Trying to figure out when I can get down there to get it.
