Looks awesome. So what did you do with the floor considering the floor kick up? Also did you just move the axle and mounts?

Your roof seam will be much improved over the centurions of the day.

torched off the rivits from the leaf hangers, we cut the lower bronco floor out, the rear part fit pretty good, 1.5" of body mounts on the rear 2 mounts...
gotta get all of the body mounts done then weld the rearend in.

next week ill purchase the van roof, the junkyard couldnt loan me their genny last week.

Looking good man. A crewcab might have been easier, but I don't think it would have been less work. Maybe if you'd have gotten the crewcab center pillars and a foot either side of them would have been easier, but you made it look easy.

What front clip you planning to run? Gonna keep it 81-86 to match the rear fender openings?

My wife and i have made the comment, several times, that we would like to have the wall from an Excursion Limo in our truck, and not wire the switch to the back passenger compartment..........
