Default 80-86 Ford bronco body (fullsize)

Does anyone know of a company that makes a 80-86 fullsize Ford Bronco?
Parma's is an 87-91 body style and it is ugly. If Parma wood have made their old f-150 into a bronco I would be set. If anyone does not know of a company that makes one, how would I join the two bodies together where they would not crack at the joints, and where the joints wouldn't be noticable? Thanks for any help, Clint.

Default this may work

buy both of them . cut them at the cab and try to attach. from the cab forward i think they look the same. i think the only thing they changed was the front clip. may be kind of hard to fuse together, that material is thin.

I think a real gangsta would make a bronco ass end for this body


That's an abs plastic body not lexan, and it's been replaced with an early-mid nineties ford truck body, so you can only get them used. They're out there though.

Yea, I thought about getting a blackfoot body, but they are pretty expensive if you can find them, and I don't mind if they are used. There's no problem in making a bf into a bronco, but it might be cheaper to buy the two bodies, and joint them to make what I want. I swear that I have seen an 80-86 Bronc in a cralwer mag, but I can't find it anywhere. Thanks for the input.

parma bronco is really bad and it is allot wider then the other bodys I dont think it can be fixed.
the blackfoots can be though.


I am using a parma bronco body for a project now but there is almost nothing left of the body.

I dont think it looks bad with the hood and windshield removed.
