body change

i have an 86 bronco ll that was wrecked and then opened with the jaws of life and the fire dept. trashed the body. i cut the rest of the top off with my sawsall. to drive it you cant tell it was wrecked. my question is how many bolts,wire connections, etc... are there to take off the body and put on another body of the same year.

10 on all models. The diffrence is the on the front from the gen1 and gen 2s. The gen1 have a longer frame in front of the axle then the gen 2 does.
