Yet another conversion Question
Howdy, Im in the market for a 67-72 1/2 ton. I would like a 4x4, but, they are almost impossible to find here (New York) so I will probably have to settle for the 2 wheel drive variety. I already own a 86 Bronco (full size) but the motor is shot. The question therefore is, will a 67-72 1/2 ton body fit on a 86 Bronco frame? I've already figured out that the 67-72 will have to be a short bed. P.S. There is a 72' shortbed down the road for sale, so a quick response would be appreciated.

Thanks, but all my plans have turned to dust. The 72' shortbed was sold before i could look at it and my Bronco still needs a engine. Got my eye on a 79' 4x4. Looking it over tommorrow.

here's a different view: the engine for the bronco can be had for a few hundred dollars. the 67 truck is becoming more valuable just being what it is! restore the bronco and the 2wd or sellthem both and get what you really want. there are lots of partially finished trucks out there for sale that have been done well, but the money or wife's patience has run out!!

I'm in western NY (Niagara Falls) and I might be very interested in that 68/69 you wrote about. If you find out if its a 4x4 and know the price, post it here and I will definately answer. I usually check the boards every 2 days as my job keeps me away from the computer. OOOPPPs. Just remembered, I have to go to Texas next week, so if you dont see a reply, be patient, I will answer.

[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 28-Jan-01 AT 10:16 PM (EST)[/font][p]Well, I'm back from Texas. Still looking for that 67-72 4x4 out there. I know I will find it eventually. Actually, I think I will expand my search to include the 73-79 years also, so, if anyone out there has a line or has heard of a 67-79 4x4 (F-150 preferred) drop me a line through e-mail or on this board. patience, patience, patience....................

Heck...in Texas you can find a good, rust free, 4x4 for nothing.....AND they are everywhere as you might have seen...might want to see about gettin a one way ticket and drive it back....might be worth it in the long run.....My 2 cents!

hey sgt go to www.unclehenrys.com it's a buy/sell/trade publication put out up here in the tri-state area (ME, NH, VT) they always have a ton of old trucks in it and alot of them are in good mechanical order and cost less than 2 grand. the only downside is it'll probably end up being in maine. if you go this route email me back (frankdubb(No Email Addresses In Posts!)) if you find one and i could check it out for ya since i'm already here
