1977 Bronco Body Demensions

[bskiusaf]

I have found most of the old posts regarding frame measurements. My frame is straight, confirmed on a frame machine. However, there are pretty large gaps above the doors, narrower toward the windshield frame, wider toward the rear. I believe the body mounts in front of and behind the front seats may be the issue. I need to get some accurate measurements to start with from a straight bronco body.

Any help would be greatly appreciated,

Thank you

I'm looking forward to response posts on this, because I don't think I've ever seen a straight body/chassis...

i'd guess door post area sunk when you rolled it. that corner of the body is low.
is your inner rocker solid where it meets the #1 cross member?
i'd be betting that the cross member is bent as well.

You can get all the measurements you need if you will go to "earlybronco.com". You will need to become a member and then drill down through: library...body...frame demensions.

Is this what you're looking for?

Great Guy, Thank you, but I already have that one. I emailed Nick and he gave me some ideas I can work with to try and straighten the body. I am having a shop do the work but they are not familiar with older Broncos. The said they were going to TRAM the body on Tuesday to get an idea of how out of whack it is.
