I have a feeling what you want to see. I can't say I have ever seen one, but I agree, it would be very cool. I did once see a guy who made a fullsize bump bronco. You would have sworn it was factory, the guy was a real craftsman. I have searched for a picture of it for years and have never come up with anything.

I've seen that actually.


The specific one I'm thinking of was a panel bump, no glass on the back but it's as if the cab was extended back to the end of the bed, I don't believe I ever saw photos of the rear doors.

I want to say the truck was green, I know it was Australian and one of our longer standing Australian members said they were not a terribly uncommon concept over there.

I followed that Bronco thread closely. Really cool what he did with it. Take a look at this '72 Econoline. If you close your left eye and squint you can almost picture the bumpside in it. I think what fordman said about cutting the back and top out of an Econoline would work really good!
