Good trade for a bronco?

I've been wanting a bronco for some time as a weekend truck and i found a person who is interested in a trade, his 86 Bronco for my 89 F250. Though i want a bronco really bad i just cant see myself letting go of my truck (ive built too much of a bond with it). My original plan was to save money and buy a bronco separate to have for the weekend and still keep my truck. Anyways here's the bronco, has a 9" lift and new 351w 86 bronco for sale or trade
My truck is the one in the avatar pic.

I wouldn't trade, your truck is far nicer. The bronco looks beat up, there could be rust under that bondo, and the dash looks like it was hacked to make that radio fit. $3K is a good deal with the motor and lift if you were to buy it though.

Its rebuilt.there haven't been any new ford blocks for a few years(other than aftermarket). I looks like a mess to me. If your truck is in good shape I would steer clear.

Thanks! I love my truck and probably wouldn't trade it, its just that thought in the back of my head telling me maybe I should. I guess what really appealed to me about it was the lift kit lol. Its hard finding clean broncos

I'm rather hesitant about the body work on the front passenger fender, who knows why 1/3 of the fender is redone trailing down to the lower portion of the door. The tailgate is shot, which I don't want to say is "typical" but for a toy, it kind of is.

The interior is about a 50/50 shot. It looks clean in some area's (rear seat looks new), but the seat belt is missing a nice chunk, and as mentioned the dash looks like it took a hit from that radio or whatever it is.

Personally I wouldn't trade my daily driver for that toy.

There are tons of sites where you can buy an aftermarket block, or there are shops/sites where you can just buy a whole new motor to specs. I know in my home town they have a motor exchange places. Out with the old in with the new (all stock though)
