1982 Fullsize bronco donor

[HOJO]

Would a 82 fullsize bronco be a good donor for eb upgrade parts....ie..
Axle/disk break parts, steering box, motor etc.etc

other than the engine and maybe transmission, front brake rotors/hubs and calipers the rear center section for its gears and a future upgrade to 31 spline rear axles nothing else is really good for swapping on that year. Yes people have used other parts it all depends on how badly you want it in your EB. Might check to see if it has a intermittant wiper switch thats a good canidate for a swap.

Front seats & belts, door mirrors, PW motors/regulators, factory underhood toolbox & reel light...

Only 1 part out of the steering box will work; most of the brake parts don't really fit; front axle - no way.

 

[Broncobowsher]

Front axle, only the Rotors
Rear axle, only if planning on full width
Steering box, only the worm
Engine, trans; depends on what is in it. Engine is maybe, transmission not likely, transfer case not (too wide)
Odds and ends, plenty. When I gutted an F150 of similer vintage I had a good stock of used parts (voltage regulator, starter solenoid, window crank handles, etc.). One of the better keeps was the U-joint U-bolts. That saved me at midnight on a Saturday night having those in the parts bin.

But most of the big stuff changed too much to be useful

My 83 had a carbed 302 and a NP 435. I believe that was a carry over option from 82. T-case would be a chain drive but a 205 would bolt right up.
