I have started a build tread for my bullnose conversion on my 4 door bronco. The bronco forum doesn't get much traffic, so I thought I'd show it to you guys. We are about 80% done with the metal work. Just have to bolt on the front clip after that. I would like to do a bullnose interior too, but that will wait until I do my engine and frame swap.

Wow! That's a lot of work.
You made your own hinge plates? (wish these were available for when those cowl seals go)
I like Cleco's

What are you doing about the hood/cowl junction?
Slotted bullnose cowl or a pinhole cowl from a brick?

Can you explain why Centurion made a flat floor in the back?
​​​​​​​I'd think the ribs add a lot of stiffness.

 

Looks like a crew cab pickup with a camper shell?

 

Thanks! I have both the slotted cowl and the pinhole one. I'm leaning toward using the pinhole style one.

I don't remember the exact reason for the flat floor. I know that 4 doors were built a few different ways at Centurion, and I believe that stretched broncos still had the ribbed floor.

That is pretty much what it is. They combined a crew cab and a bronco at Centurion's factory.

 

Hats off to your rust repair skills! I think it is great that you are re-styling it as a bullnose. Best of luck and keep us updated

 

Updated the thread a little. Quarters are completely on, so it is officially a Bullnose! Now I just need to get going on the front clip swap, and find the right taillights.

 

Updated the thread more. Done with it for the winter, and got it home!



Before and after:



Look at that rust before! Yuck

 

Nice job from what started with.
After winter front fenders?

Yep! Doing a front clip swap with an 87-91 cowl, and will graft in part of the 92-96 fenders, and do a marker light delete.
