1985 F150, anything usable on a 71 bronco?

I have the opportunity to get a running 1985 f150, just have to haul it off for the guy.

I'm really unsure of the condition but if the body is shot, is there anything there usable for my bronco?

It has a 300 inline six. I don't need the motor but it should have an np435 or T18.

I was thinking the transmission and transfer may be worth grabbing for a swap onto the 302.

Trans is nice, but you won't fit the transfer case between the frame rails without a LOT of cutting and welding. Probably an old BW 1356 I think they were? Not sure which t-case got put in which year trucks, but if it's one of the big aluminum jobs, it's probably too wide.

Maybe the hubs and rotors, or the rear end if you were swapping to a full-width set of axles at some point. But an '85 might be an 8.8 or a 9" so you should look first.

Steering gearbox if you are ever going to convert a '79 or older F150/Bronco steering box to the 4x4x2 style.
That's about it for anything I can think of. And not really sure about any of that anyway.%)

Gotta be worth something

Delay wiper switch, tilt column can be used if it has it, there's a tech article about it.
