how many pieces is an early Bronco frame?

[Guest]

It seems that EB frames don't suffer the rust problems that early jeeps do. They must have a better design. What is it?

EB frames are fully boxed, not C-channel like Jeeps.

The problem is that it is basically two pieces of C-channel lap welded together. It is a terrible design as the bottom overlap inside the frame rusts quickly.

Beats the hell out of me.

Oh I know why, because the dopes around here refuse to go slower than 75 on a snow covered highway. :

Yep, first snow a week or so ago, and it wasn't much more than a dusting and there were suv's in the ditches everywhere.<br><br>snake
