I want to install a full cage but i needed a starting point and i saw this roll bar in the local paper for free. it is out of a 1969 dodge ram charger. i did not like the GT bar from ford as it bolt to the top of the wheel well. this goes to the rear floor.

Here is a shot from the rear. it looks good to install.

it is 42" high. it looks like it will drop right in.

Well it looked like it go right in. so now it is time to see where i want this to sit. i want this to protect the back seat more than the front right now as i gloing to add a front hoop soon. so to hit a solid seam i elected to cut the foot off the roll bar and scoot it as far back as i could. here is the driver side front leg. (please ignore the other junk as this project was going on so was 5 other things)

This is where the stock GT bar would go but i cut the foot and slide it back. this is the pass side.

Here is the rear leg pass side. (lots of rust on the floor surface. this is how she came to me i going to spray in a liner soon.

here is the driver side rear leg.

here is a side shot to show if i mounted in the GT Bar position where the rear leg would go. i decided to move it back a a foot from here.

1st job cut the front mount so i can move the roll bar back to the correct install spot.

i had some 6" angle sitting in the shop. so i drilled a few mounting holes and cleaned the welding area up.

here the new foot is welded to the roll bar. I am not a great welder but it is looking alot better.

here is the front foot on the new mount. this is a strong point inthe bronco.

here is a front shot of the mount and roll bar.

here is how it goes together on the pass side.

Here it is bolted to the floor. i going to add a plate and bar thru the floor to the frame soon but it is in for now.

Here is how the rear legs bolt down to a plate under the floor. it too will get extensions down to the frame.

here is the pass side installed.

i made sure there was room to install the top and install and remove the top bolts. this will be a great starting point for a full cage.

Here it is a few feet back. i am happy with this install. The kids like to hang on the bar as we go around town......one project done. i will update as i add parts to the cage.
