Chris,
Can't really say anything that has not already been said, but I do have a few questions when you get some time. Anyone else can chime in as well if they have the info. Thanks in advance.
How wide is the flat floor section of the driver's foot well?
What is the cab height on V4 with 38's? Would 37's fit with a 6" ilift and a sawzall?
For those towing, (I saw some larger enclosed trailers earlier in the thread), is anyone in the 7-9K range on a trailer? Any reason this would not be feasible, even if suspension or frame re-inforcements were required for safe towing on an RB van?
What is the wheel cut or how tight do the Ford 60's turn? Anyone doing serious off roading and wish for more turning angle or shorter wheelbase? (switch back turns out west, tight trails in the east, getting into the best parking spot at the mall
Finally, are the engine bays and dog houses all about the same length and width or does that change with year, engine/trans, etc?
I have spent my free time over the last few weeks reading all 184 pages of this thread. The Bronco turned out great and I am not even an FSB fan usually.
Cheers

Will have to measure the floor, not sure n that one. Same for the cab height of V4.... When it was 1st put together it had a 6" lift with the front fenders opened up for 37's. the dog houses are the same from 92-96 and 97/up.

Are you going to put on the Super Duty truck mirrors?! It's in the rendering...must mean someone is doing it. That would be awesome! I'm happy to advise by the way.

SMB is doing the top.
Not on my list of to-do items. But yes, they're on the rendering.
We've done a few.
No, didn't take any. I didn't go all out with documenting everything on that build since I don't want to do another! Takes up too much time and space, need to just focus on vans.
