f-150 and bronco body swap

[scoopy03]

i was wondering if it is possible to change a 92 bronco and put it on top of a 94 bronco frame. do they have the same bolt pattern for the frame? also would i have to get a 6' bed because it is shorter in length? goal is to change the f-150 over to the 351w with 4x4 (which is what the bronco has). the 300 in the f-150 is "worn out" after 230,000+ miles and trans. is starting to grind

Why not just do an engine and tranny swap? Is the frame bent or damaged?

engine and tranny swap is possible but why not just "knock off" the truck off the frame and the bronco of its frame and switch...... the remains of the bronco will just go to the junkyard. then would have what appeared to be a f-150 with 4x4 and a 351 without having to change wiring.

Your first post might have an error, as you refer to 2 Broncos.
I presume you mean you wish to drop a F150 body on a Bronco frame?

Frankly, the driveline swap is easier than the body swap.
The Bronco mounts are different because the body is 'one piece', without a seperate box. You could cut off the F150 mounts and weld them on where needed, though.
You would have to get into the wiring during the swap.......... and muck around with the steering column, cope with hoisting the body without damage, have the hassle of locating a rare rust-free short box pick up bed (expensive!!) etc etc. Even then, I believe the box will still be too long for the Bronco frame

IMO remove the Bronco cap and modify the body to look like a (very) short box F150.
