ok folks...
ive been trying to decide which way to go about this build....

hope you can give me your comments and suggestions.

i now have a crew cab that i will be replacing the front half of this project.
why?
because the roof will fit better, and it will make my job alot easier.
i will also be purchasing an OBS bronco soon for the rear half.
basically this is getting parted out for the new updated build....

heres my conundrum....
i have a super duty frame, and i have a LB DRW frame
the DRW frame is under the crew cab.
if i leave the CC on the DRW frame, i can save myself some work.
but i will have to swap the SD axles, which isnt a real big deal, its only work.

or i can wait for the SD frame to become available (which is my next task) and build it on that.....
which i will most likely have to re position the rear diff anyways....

the current bronco back half is going to be modified for my 6 door as a bed.

thoughts?

If you can adapt it to the super duty frame that'll be nice. This makes me want to get parts and start building one of my own. I wonder where i can hide the stuff from my wife
