Just one... trailer... ???
Damn!!! I can’t decide whether that is incredibly brave or incredibly crazy. But I do know that I love it. Keep the pics coming.Almost done so I thought I'd start a thread.
Chopped up a bronco more-doors top and did some fab work. Got a few adjustments to make and a final sand and paint, but overall I'm satisfied so far.
The front two top panels still lock in place to the new half-cab the same way, and they are obviously still removable.
The Bronco top is nearly 3 ” narrower in the rear than at the B pillar,.so this presents a bit of an issue. Some massage is needed to make up for the wider B-pillar and get the rear of the old top to match up well with the middle of the truck.
I made sure I can still use my old MIC 2 top ... and I will add 4130
inserts to the roll bar at each end that can be bolted in with aircraft grade fasteners. The roll bar will be removable.
The original hard top is still usable and now I have two top options.
I will build a bolt-on bulkhead across the front of the bed that will match up with the bottom of the window. The window is the same, so the defrost, wiper and washer will all be functional.
The side curtain airbags did need removed, and I plan on installing a set from a 2dr F150 in the near future, as they appear to be installed in the same area and fashion.
I also ordered a new back roll bar cross support that I will build into a removable cross support while the half cab is installed.
Still have lots to do.
Bulkhead
Speaker pod mounts.
Tail gate
Tool boxes built into bed.
Here's a few pics of my progress. It's a bit dusty as I'm still sanding here and there.
Only one set of wires running across under the rear seat area. (I was able to move them into the cabin)
Thank you much, and that is just the information I wanted to hear.Only one set of wires running across under the rear seat area. (I was able to move them into the cabin)
There's plenty of pics of all the stuff removed over in the audio upgrade area.
