I have a 94 extended cab long box and was thinking since it needs a cab would this be the wheelbase they build a centurion on? the body I can figure out no problem but what is the wheel base to start with
IIRC that frame didn't exist before 1996 or '97 or so...what would they have used beforehand?They used a shortbed crew cab frame for the 4 door Broncos.
The frames were custom shortened from a F350 CCLB and a bronco rear was grafted behind the crew cab.

I always assumed they took an F-350 CC frame, cut the frame behind the cab, and spliced the back half of a Bronco frame in its place, but I have to admit that I never looked into it...
I can attest to the differences in Bronco vs PU frames, I've been doing extensive measurements to see if I can graft my Bronco body onto my reg cab frame with super cab on it...and it's doable..but..lots of buts!
Damn difficult to say the least but doable!
The key is finding the right Bronco frame I suppose it's year dependant cause I have two different thickness of frames and one is same as my F350 one is significantly thinner!
Just saying...I can take photos as I have a perfectly primed Bronco frame bare ready to work on...and CANT use it...too thin...grrrrrrrr but the bends and so forth all all the same!
....What year was do you have that is thin? The 89 I had was the same thickness as the trucks.
I have also noticed the way the Bronco frames are set up in the rear they don't rot out like the truck frames. That rear crossmember on the trucks is a real rot prone area.
