Wanted 1996 bronco donor

Confession time......I put my sweet 96(formerly owned by Robert Craven) on its side on the Mojave rd. The damage is substantial at the A and B pillars. I'm looking for a high mileage, unmolested, 96 to transfer all the quality parts.

Come on, I know one of you guys has one hiding in your garage.

if it just body ....you can probably expand your year range 92-96

also get some auto fab rear finders this may simplify the repair in rear.

If you need other parts I get the 1996

Are you putting a whole new body on it or gonna cut & paste.

Any pics? Been there not fun.

At this point, Based on the information so far, I think my plan of action is to transfer my suspension and possibly my drivetrain as well. Currently I have a stock 96 5.8 with 140k, tranny has a shift kit and oversized oil pan.I'm told that a 95 or 96 is most desirable because of firewall/wiring considerations. So far I'm uncomfortable with a repair that doesn't replace the cab and all associated sheet metal. A and B pillars are substantially distorted, and for all I know the entire cab is tweaked. In a perfect world I'd like to fine a pristine, stock, 96 with a blown motor, for cheap. Gray interior preferred. A unicorn I suspect.. lol

Just be patient & keep searching. From what I have found in my own endeavors like this there is ALWAYS one out there. Of course it usually shows up for me about the time I get impatient, say "eff it" and buy one just to get it done - which is a lot sooner than I should most times as I am impatient!

Did you text Travis yet? He listed his number above. He had a cab ('95 is I remember right) he was getting rid of a while ago.

Why not swap all the parts on to the bone stock 96 you have now? I believe all of Craven's truck was bolted on so could be a fairly easy swap.

Sorry to see that Dan. I'll keep an eye out as well.

I'll sell you my 96- it's stupid clean- like stupid clean and all the parts I put in mine are bolt on. Mine is a 96 5.8 as well. It's $10.5k but you can swap parts and recoup a huge chunk between the 2 trucks.

I'm interested. I am very happy with my suspension set-up, so I intend to transfer it over to the "new truck".
If I remove all of your parts, what would the resale value be. Do you know of people that would want to buy those parts?

VintageIronFab · Post by **VintageIronFab** » Mon Jun 05, 2017 7:51 am

Not sure on the resale but there's lots of things there that people want. I'd bet you'd use more of the things on mine than you think. Ive got a build thread Cheryl is the trucks name

Dan L · Post by **Dan L** » Tue Jun 06, 2017 6:11 pm

Definitely did not want to imply there is an issue with your parts. I'm just very happy with what I've got. I cant find a build thread for Cheryl. Can you send me a link. I dig the color of the truck! What did you do for the from suspension?

You've peaked my interest. The idea of doing a truck has been rattling around in my brain. I was thinking a regular cab short bed.
What do you have?
