What if:
Ford offered the '78--79 1/2 Bronco, in a half-cab?
The Bronco was available with the half-cab option from '66-'73, so why not?
I started off with a generic chinese 79 Bronco hardbody kit (1st pic, stolen from Google. Then, I cut the cap off- unfortunately non-removable on these body kits. After that, I cut the rear window section from the cap, shaped to fit, and glued it to the back of the cab.
I had a leftover rear half of an RC4WD Blazer body. A quick check revealed that fitment was possible so I cut the fenders away from the box, and stabbed the box up into the Bronco body. Some sheet plastic to complete the cab wall and tailgate area, and various bits and pieces to reinforce the Frankenstein work- and here we are- '79 Bronco Half-Cab that never was.
Still got a bunch of sanding and filling and such, bit I'm stoked with the results!
