I think the early 80's bronco would look best as a low rider. Maybe even easier to do if you start with an F-150 2wd frame and mount the bronco on the 1/2 tons frame after a little lenght was removed. At least that way you could get all the mechanicals right before putting the body on the frame. Another plus is you could use the newer mustang manual trans and and have a six speed behind a mass air 351W, or go the 4BBL 460 with a similar trans for a car.

The only dropped bronco I liked was when somyone built a lighting bronco.
He wrecked his 95 lightning and took a 92-96 bronco and put all of the drivetrain and tires on the bronco, that thing looked nice.

There's a reason why Ford didn't make a two wheel drive Bronco. Leave it as it is.

There was a '78 or '79 with a 429 in it that was called Warhorse. I saw it in Hot rod in the mid '90s. It was bitchin', top speed of 140mph+

The more people destroy these beauties of the past... the more valuable mine becomes. I remember when I use to turn VW bugs into Mud Buggies. Now look what a unchopped VW bug is worth.

I remember seeing that lightning bronco on here and it was pretty cool! I'm more of a 4x4 guy myself though.

Me too but that one looked nice mainly cause it looked like something the factory put out.
An old body man told me the best jobs are done when people ask what was done to it.

Hmm.... Maybe do it to a 2WD Blazer. That would be better. Although, at the same time it would be unique to see done to a Bronco.
