I have a 76 CJ7 body that I mounted on a 73 Bronco frame with a 302 and a c4. Everything has worked out great except the wiring. I can't find anything hot under the hood when the switch is on. Parts of the fuse box have power but not all depending on where the switch is turned then when you turn the key these areas hot will change. I've changed the igntion switch on the column with no change.Ive followed schematics and traced wires till I'm really tired of it. Any Ideas short of a new harness?

I am in the process of doing the same thing. CJ7 body on a 77 Bronco frame. I would be interested in any info you would like to share. Mounts...steering etc

Sorry hadnt saw youre request till today. I cut seven inches off the back of the frame. I moved the motor back ten inches. I welded the front frame crossmember from a CJ7 in between the frame rails of the Bronco to attach the grill to. I had to notch the grill slightly to clear the steering sector but with a winch it wouldnt really be noticable. The swap worked out great. Any questions just ask.
