A neighbor down the road stopped by and offered to sale me an 84 bronco straight 6 for 100 dollars.  It's all there, but has been sitting for 8 years.  Which parts would be compatible with my 89?  Drive lines? Body? Steering Column? Seats?  Door panels? Dash? FIgure i can sale the top for 150 easily, but wanted to strip off whatever i might need down the road.  Might be a stupid question, but i couldn't pass up the offer.  Any comments or recommendations are greatly appreciated?  Also, it is manual and does not have power windows or locks.  Could i swap out doors to go to manual locks and windows?

Thanks again,

Paul

Off the top of my head, engine , transmission, running gear,  seats would work, Doors are the same but not panels, Dash is completely different, tail gate is the same, You could use the cap,  front clip if you change the entire thing, frame, etc.

Basically, any part could be used depending on how much work you want to put in and may require other parts to be changed with them.

yo,

As Seabronco advised so well!

Parts integration is up to time, $ and persistence as my dad used to say.

Here is an example by Steve;

1983 Ford Bronco 

Mileage: 640000 Engine: 1995 4.9L from F-150, UN-rebuilt, completely transplanted twice, including computer, air filter, y-pipe, & all accessories. 130A alternator, 1996 Bronco gas tank & pump. K&N drop-in. Drivetrain: 1978 F-250 NP-435; '93 BW1356 clocked; reman rear d'shaft; rebuilt front d'shaft; '96 Bronco D44IFS with 3.07 open diff; rebuilt Ford 8.8" 3.08 open; stock F&R antisway bars & Energy polyurethane bushings all around. Notes: It has been completely rebuilt from the ground up for the 2nd time now. Most of the body & frame are '93, the tailgate is a '96, the door mirrors are heavily modified with LEDs, and the camper shell is a '96 with a '94 Explorer roof rack & '82 sliding windows. The front shoulder belts & rear seat are the original '83 parts, but the front seats are '97 Econoline power captain's chairs with heat. The instrument cluster & wiring harnesses have been heavily modified so the factory fuel reset light works, and a semi-factory low fuel light has been added. I've added AutoLamps, AutoDimming Brights, RKE, one-touch both directions for all windows, an auto-dimming compass rear-view mirror, dual visors, dual spotlight wiring, always-on PW, OBA. The CB & radar detector are hard-wired. Planned mods include a sunroof & articulated doors. The bumpers are my own design (mostly hand-built). The front includes factory trim, 2 storage compartments, 3 recovery points, a removable fold-down grille guard, & a Ramsey RE12000. The rear bumper has an integral hitch receiver & 3 locking storage boxes. Last Updated: 7/28/2014

If you have or foresee Emission tests in your area; consider keeping all Emission, PCM (aka, Computer, EEC, ECU) components, vacuum lines, sensors etc. intact in the the 89.

What I really wanted were the steering column. Seats. And spare drive lines. Would part out the rest to get money to put into ol Betsy. I need power steering pump but I'm assuming they won't swap out. Almost done converting vac lines to rubber hosing. All that's left is to change out power steering pump and drag link and tie rods. Getting her registered this weekend.
