Hello, I have a 78 bronco that I would like to swap the steering column,steering box and shaft over to my 79 f-150 4x4. The bronco has tilt/cruise and the 150 doesn't . Are the wire connentors the same on each vehicle? direct bolt/plug in?
Also the bronco has sway bars front and rear and I would like to swap rear ends, is the front sway bar easy to swap to the 150?
Thanks

 

broncos and F150s are the same from the B piller forward.

 

A pillar = windshield.
B pillar = post behind front door.
The column is probably a direct bolt in since they are both 4x4 but electricals may be different. I don't have a wiring diagram that shows that. Someone else will probably know.

 

everything u r doing should bolt up, worst case u have to drill holes to mount the sway bar to the frame, but they might be there already

 

Thanks for the replys!!!
My F-150 has a loose steering gear box and steering column w/ bad bearings and turn signal switch that is bad. The wire connectors are my biggest concern, I don't want to redo the factory connectors.
My rear end the posi has worn clutches and a yoke that leaks and grease seal on the right side that leaks.
I bought this bronco w/ tight steering and the former owner was a driveline mech. who rebuilt the rear end a few years back. I have already swapped out the door panels and plan on getting what I can of off the bronco before sending it off. I plan on getting the transfer case & front end also. The bronco has a skid plate for the gas tank, would that work on the 150?

Thanks again for the HELP!!!

 

Is the Bronco badly rusted?

 

the tilt is a direct bolt in. the wiring is the same. i got a tilt out of a 79 bronco and put it in my old 78 f250 supercab 4x4. i just got another tilt out of a 79 2wd f150 and im gonna put it in my f350 supercab 4x4 i have now.

 

FYI- Many of the wires in these connectors can be removed by using a small tool to unclip the connector pin. They can then be moved to different connector housings etc.

 

Thanks guys for the advice!!!
Torque1st, the bronco has rust pretty bad over the wheel wells , the tailgate doesn't have rust holes, dr. floorboard is shot, right door/quarter has been hit, still opens and closes- silver in color

Thanks Again

 

i'm looking at a 78 brono also the doors will fit on a 79 f150?
and what will it take to bolt in the bucket seats on my truck
thanks gary

 

The difference between cruise & no cruise is the special harnesses of the cruise control.

A truck with cruise incorporates the *power to horn* to make it *Power to cruise module*

If you would like more in-depth info,let me know.

 

Yes the doors will fit. If you have a supercab, the bronco brackets will match the contour of the floor. But if it's a regular cab, you will need to alter the brackets or make new ones, but it can be done...
