Seeing that a Mustang is a unibody and a BII is body-on-frame you'll probably have to do some cutting.
BTW (1), hybrids usually look like ass. .02
BTW (2), the Mustang in the pic is an '84 and not an '85. Not to be picky. :icon_twisted:

No, no, no. I have yet to see a car-on-truck frame hybrid that looks good.

Ive seen one..... just one.... and it wasnt on truck frame per say but a dodge neon on a tube chassis D60 front 14 bolt rear with a supercharged hemi half sticking out the hood. Also seen a few chevette 4x4s that looked descentish... but a mustang isnt any worse than a minivan thats been made a 4x4 in my oppinion but I guess it depends on what you want to do with it.

I have to agree. The unibody cannot be swapped onto a bronco or any other chassis without alot of custom work (10k+) That one you see is most likely a rich kids project. Otherwise its not on a bronco chassis at all. It's a lifted mustang, which is alot more possible.

What. 10k? Is that dollars?

You're from Florida, right? I thought FL was like the epicenter of good old backwoods ghettofab goodness.

You could buy a B2, a Mustang shell, and everything you need to get it running and driving for a lot less than that.

I guess you've never owned or messed with a fox bodied Mustang, Fairmont, or T-Bird:dunno:.............I've never owned a Fairmont or T-Bird as yet, but I have had several late 80's, early 90's Mustangs and their unibodies are flimsy, and don't take nothin to twistem into JUNK! So a Mustang body SAH ain't gonna support no liftin or 4X4 axles!!!

If you look closely at the front shot, you can see the front coils of the Bronco II chassis, along with you can see the sidebars are welded straight to the frame rails.

I don't believe anybody said it would be a walk-in the park build, your gonna have to do some SERIOUS modifyin & fabricatin :icon_welder:to accomplish this kinda build.

Ya ever hear the term "If there's a will, there's a way!"??? My Uncle put a 283 in a 73 Chevy Luv back in 74, BEFORE anybody ever thought of buildin & sellin a kit for it, he was a welder by trade & taught it at New Castle School of Trades in New Bedford, PA also............I've seen V8 VW Bugs, V8 VW Squareback Wagons, V8 Corvairs, list goes on & on................

As said above, "TO EACH HIS OWN"!

My credo
If you can't go through it or around it, then go over it.

Oh good god, I just threw up in my mouth a little.............

why, god, why? Why did this Aho have to ruin a perfectly good Mustang?


now if it was a Mustang 2 on a B2 frame then I would understand.
