Re: Smith Racing 1978 bronco build.
Well guys I know I said we were going to be using 3/4 ton ttb, but I know most of the guys on here use the stock bronco beams, extend and truss them and seem to do fine, so I was wondering if the bronco ttb would be fine for racing.

Re: Smith Racing 1978 bronco build.
What would you do cab/body wise if you dumped it on a truck frame? Just cut the middle of the bed, shift it back & run F series bedsides? Extra wheel base is good, but it's a bit more work to get it. We would probably just sell the cab and bed if we were to use a f-250, but if we were to get a late...

Re: Smith Racing 1978 bronco build.
Okay thanks guys for the info, and what years do you guys recommend for doing a chassis swap, we were thinking of doing a early 90s f-250 4x4 truck for more strength, what do you guys think.

Re: Smith Racing 1978 bronco build.
Alright guys I know I've talked about ttb, but do you guys know what it will take to put a later bronco frame under our 78 body, or will it not be worth it and we should just keep running the solid axle.

Re: Smith Racing 1978 bronco build.

We still have parts coming in so I will k...

Re: Smith Racing 1978 bronco build.
