planning on swapping parts

i found a 96 bronco really close to me that i was hoping i could swap parts to my 84 bronco. i know there is a big difference in years but what all has changed? i need a hard top, doors, hood, radiator and will need tires soon too. any help is appreciated, i don't know how long this deal will go on for, thanks

Welcome to FTEs FSB forum bigdog72

At best, doors and top will fit with no major issues.

What's wrong with the 96?

The hood will only work with the entire front clip.

thank you glad to be here, the 96 was rusted out bad and had a ton of miles, but apparently the guy scrapped in days ago then put the for sale ad up. kinda ticked me off but whatever thanks for your help

Top will be fine albeit the high-mount stop lamp and exterior courtesy lamp will not have a circuit for them in the '86. The '96 top will have shoulder harness set belt mounts in it that you won't need unless you swap the rear seat belts from the '96 as well.

The doors may fit but will most likely have body lines that won't line-up/match. The vent windows are different but won't affect door operation.

Ditto to what Kem said on the hood.
