I don't know if that helped you bud, but the wheelbase with the F100-F350 is different than the Bronco in the 70s so maybe they are still not the same in the 80s.

Might have to do some modification but becareful.

Pretty sure the bronco is shorter.

Yup, the bronco is shorter than the shortest F100/150.

Not sure if you can take some meat out of the F150 frame to make it fit the bronco body.

I've seen people do it with F350's. It can be done, but i think its a LOT of fabbing.

The bronco chassis is 13" shorter than a pickup in wheelbase, 104 vs 117". That 92" wheelbase spec from the 70's is an Early Bronco.
You can mount up a truck cab, the front 4 cab mounts and the core support mounts will all line up. The rear cab mounts, you will have to swap the bronco crossmember for the truck one, as the bronco mounts are outside the frame.

Thanks for the help guys
