First ever bumpside bronco?? And a powerstroke crew bump

Post by 1971ford »

Check this out, I'm talking with a guy through email that is doing some pretty crazy work. We've all talked about bronco-bumpsides, there are many threads on this topic, but i have never seen anyone put the time and work in the the conversion and go through with it. Most of our ideas have been taking a dentside bronco and making it into a bump, or a shortened bump f100 modified to look like a bronco.
Here's another way:

And here is another conversion done by the same guy.

Good evening Ryan,

Very nice work! I don't know which one I prefer the crew or the bronco, they're both awesome!

The wheels and paint on that crewcab are just hideous. Otherwise, it is a very nice looking truck.

Not exactly sure what to think about the "bump bronco". I'm leaning more toward dislike.

I really dislike the bronco thing. There's no way that will ever look right. The crew paint is hideous, the mirrors and wing window delete is ugly.

For the most part the fellow looks skilled in slapping something together with stuff he has laying around. I get the impression he's a form over function type of guy.

that bronco should look sweet as hell when its finished and the crew cab needs the original mirriors back and needs smaller rims the paints not too bad but i think a soild black would look alot better

i wonder what hes going to do to the rear of that bronco not just the quarter panels but the tailgate and the rear lights

Thanks for sharing Ryan. :thup:
That's a lot of work he's done! Answered my question (from a while back) about adding lat style SD mirrors to a bump too.
Cool that he used all Ford gear.
Will be interesting to see the Bronco. If he fabricates the bump side all the way back it may look pretty cool.
Keep us posted.

That crew cab is a nice looking truck, looks like he used all the parts from the superduty and just installed the old body. Last year in Taber there was a old chevy the guy used everything from a new truck right down to the factory stereo, not my cup of tea but he did a good job.

Looks like the black and orange is the same as a harley davidson edition super duty, those mirrors have to be horrible blind spots, and The rims are to blingy for me. but its a nice job on the crew.
