2wd bronco

i know ford only made a few 2wd broncos specificly for a company and only 4wd broncos, but is there a way to convert my 78 bronco to 2wd? i was thinking of getting a 97+ ford and cutting the frame from the firewall foward and just replacing my bronco's front piece. if not a 97+ then a 78 2wd f150. any ideas? i would like to purchace another 78 bronco and convert it so i can have a 4wd and a 2wd to play with.

No offense, but why would you want to bother doing that. The transfer case has 2H so it can be BOTH.

if the weight in the front is yer problem, try looking at a pre-runner kit which is a lot less work. Or graft a 70's f150 2wd front end on. Then put a 2wd tranny in and make a driveshaft to fit. Grafting a late 90's front end will be difficult at best, and would be compounded even more as the frame widths aren't the same.
