So i found an ad on Craigslist in my area from a guy that's got an '88 Bronco. Otherthan that, there's no info. He just wants to part it out. I've got an '85 EB and figured that since I was getting first crack at his Bronco, I'd try to get as much off of it as I could. My tailgate's rusted out and I was wondering if the years are compatible? I'm hoping the interior is in good shape too. Also, can I use the steering column from the '88 in my '85? I know they're different, but do the cruise control, signals, etc. have the same plug type?
I guess I'm trying to cut down on the amount of back and forth from my truck to theirs as I can. That being said, is anyone looking for any parts from an '88? I'll see what they have and let you know.

 

So I went yesterday to look at the '88 Bronco. Go figure, the tailgate was gone. He sold it to someone a few weeks ago. The good news is that the guy who bought the tailgate didn't take the inside metal cover. Sucks to be him! So I ended up getting the interior tailgate plate, inside spare tire carrier, spare rim, spare tire cover and center console all for $65.00. Too bad there wasn't more I needed. The center console was in great shape, but was grey. I stopped off on the way home and bought a can of tan plastic paint and it is now painted and in the truck. I wish all of my deals were this good!
