Custom Bronco Cab
I want to put a extended cab on a bronco chassis. If that won't work I also have a regular cab to put on it. Has anyone else tried this and if so what had to be done to get it done?

I beleive the bronco floor is the same as the super cab. Should fit without too many problems. Obviously you will have to move some body mounts around, but should be that big of a deal!

My caution would be the rear wheels and the extended cab. On the Bronco, you'll only have about 8 or 10 inches from behind the door to the front of the wheel well. It's considerable more when you look at the super cab. I don't know that it would work without cutting wheel wells into the back of the cab. Not to mention, without measuring, your entire outside bed sides would be wheel wells.
I have a 79 Bronco and Supercab sitting at the shop, next time I'm there, I'll pull some measurments and see what lines up...

I dont know about the bronco, but I'm thinking the rear frame rails would be too low for a bed to line up with the cab lines. we have a bronco frame laying around here and it doesn't look the same as the truck frames.
As for the supercab on a reg frame, the rear of the supercab will hit the frame where the frame arches up for the bed, so you'd have to run a body lift type deal on the supercab to space it up enough to clear the frame. Or cut into the floor of the cab.
I'm not sure what kind of issues you'd run into on the bronco frame.

Looks like they did a good job on it! I think it would have looked better if they had moved the rear axle back a foot or two and got the axle centered under the shortened bed.

Well the supercab wont work without cutting wheel wells into the cab.
If that truck pictured is a super cab on a regular longbed wheel base frame...
The bronco wheelbase is even shorter than the regular shortbed wheelbase frame.
