Have you guys ever saw a Ranger cab on a B2 frame ? I have a parts 1984 B2 and two similar Rangers PUs and have been entertaining the idea

.

Just what I need, another project

I saw one driving around where I live. It has a MASSIVE lift and he even shortened a bed to fit. Looks kinda cool

I would have to wonder if the cab will hit the rear tire.

If I remember right that the rear tub wasn't to far from my front seat. If it works go for it.

I think the rear cab mount will land where the leaf spring hanger is, but you can get around that if you are creative...

The more I think about a Ranger cab on a Bronco frame, the more I like the idea. I have a complete parts 84 B2 and two parts Rangers. The plan has been to junk out the left over rigs and parts after I'm done with my sons B2, but now............

I have thought about a ranger cab on a BII frame and just four link the rear and put the cab mount where it needs to be. but at that point you might as well just cut up a ranger and do what needs to be done with that frame.

I measured the Broncos cab mounts Vs the Rangers.
You are correct the Rangers rear cab mount will be directly over the front spring mount on the Bronco frame. The top of the Rangers rear cab mount is much higher than the B2 though, and it looks like it would be no problem to relocate and still be able to get a nut on the bottom side.
My son is going to start taking the body off the B2 this Friday.

Honestly, no progress at this point. I am restoring a 1957 panhead as a full time project, the Ranger cab on a Bronco frame is secondary.
My son was going to most of the work, he is going to be 16 on May 30th
and has been at my side though many projects, so he knows his way around a wrench. Here is the bad part, My wife and I went on a 23rd aniversary get a way for one lousey night and my son throws a big assed drinking party at our home. He is out of the game for 30 days.
I know this isn't the Chit Chat forum, but I was asked. Sorry guys, I'm still pissed.

I found this on Craig's list. I hope you guys can open it. I would do it a little differently.
