Hey guys I'm new here. I have an idea, I am thinking about building a 08 bronco. I have been looking a buying an 08 f250 but still saving up for the project at this point. I was wondering about two methods of building this bronco.

1-Finding a wrecked excursion cutting the rear off and mounting it to the truck,removing the back window welding it all together sanding it and bronco. but I can't remove the top so its really more of a suv.

2-Buying a reg cab truck,buying a camper shell remove the back of the cab making it one. putting a seat in the bed. so than i can remove the top. question im going to have leaks and a draft. solution ideas to that maybe a seal,sheet metal? but i want it to look like it belongs there.

I also plan on putting a 5.9 cummins common rail in there.

Idea tips all would be great! my uncles and I are planning this build now. due to the fact at the shop i help out at for a little extra change I am building a 50's chrysler than i have to help with a chevy truck.
