Just purchased a 1989 Ford Bronco 351W 4WD for $1350 as a project vehicle, I have never worked on Broncos before. Im used to my 1993 F250 however. The man I bought it from has the passenger side window completely dissembled (the glass is broken), so I have nothing to go off of. He says it had heated windows, and the windows had holes where the track would actually go through. I have never even seen or heard of such a thing, and would be curious to see a diagram so I can replace it properly. Any help would be amazing!

 

Well, you have the other side to go off of
The windshield may have had heat (Lincolns) but no side windows never ever from Ford
Maybe he was trying to say the defroster vent broke the glass
Just replace the glass and be good
Easy job if you have done a few, and not real hard if it's your first one
Good luck
Watch a video or two and get the glass at the junkyard
That way you can learn what you are doing on the junkyard truck
Grab all the screws and fasteners when you snag the glass

 

^^^^ Very much agree. There only "heat" for the side windows comes from the vent on the outer edge of the dash that is aimed at the side windows. The holes through the glass are how the window mounts to the regulator, they have nothing to do with heat.

Thank you all for the responses! I searched the salvage yards around here, none have any broncos. But I have another question, which requires some context. When I saw the vehicle yesterday, there was a coolant leak that he let me know of beforehand. The coolant was leaking from the bottom coolant passage, as the pipe had rusted out. He had a spare bronco (I dont know the year, the engine could be a 351 or 302) but same body style as the 89), so I salvaged the throttle body from that one. However once we got back to the bronco I was getting, we noticed that it had 2 vacuum nipples (I dont know what else to call them) instead of the 1 that was on the original. I found a splitter and extra hose, all the sensors plug ins were the same. Hooked it up and it ran GREAT. Started at 1200 rpm then went down (99% sure its a vacuum leak as most of the hoses were dry rotted and falling apart). No coolant leak! However I then noticed that the throttle return spring is froze, tried to use some brake cleaner and wd 40 to fix it up, nope. Its froze. So I then get on rockauto trying to find the throttle body and they no longer manufacture it (I have not looked on other autoparts websites to be fair). However I have 2 throttle bodies for a 93 F250 351W. I just cannot check at this time to see if they are compatible. So I am mainly asking if a 93 F250 351W throttle body would be compatible with the sensors?

Thanks in advance!

 

Generally the parts from the back of the doors to the front of the bumper are the same between Bronco and F-series truck for the same options/trim/engine etc. You should be fine with things like door parts and window glass from the same generation of truck.

 

those 2 ports are for your purge valve connection, and yes they y'ed. the 302, 351w throttle body are the same, use what you find, rock auto has them for 302, manual trans, but again all throttle bodies are the same on 302, 351w, auto, or manual.
