78 Bronco Chassis with 61 styleside F100 body

I purchased it in the summer of 2019 and drove it home. It drove fairly well, but needed a lot of help and now it is getting much needed upgrades. As for the chassis it is rock solid and a unique addition to the cab and bed. I really like the Bronco's 104" wheelbase and tight turning radius.
The 400 engine and C6/NP205 combo all work great. Here is the link https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1...o-chassis.html

Smile Me and my truck

Thanks, the link in the beginning of this post is where my original post for this truck began. I figured I would share with people on the Bronco side that would take an interest to this project. I try to update every time I further the process. I really like this truck it is my favorite in terms of unique and simplistic qualities. I have owned several F100 trucks and this one is the keeper. We were born the same year 61 that is.

Nice!

My friend is putting together a 1968 F100 on a '78 F150 4wd chassis right now.
He has the front clip and cab done.... 400 engine in the frame.
He is about to start on the rear. That will entail cutting the frame and shortening it to fit the '68 bed.

FUN!!
