87 bronco

I'm new to the forum, so I want to first say Hello. I bought an 87 bronco a little over a month ago and it was bought with intentions of being my sole transportation, but knowingly going to be a project. I have a lot of questions, but i'm going to ask questions pertaining to one subject at a time so i don't overwhelm myself, but will be more than one question per subject.

I have replaced tie rods (inner and outer), ball joints, brakes, and bearings (some). Also switched from auto-locking hubs to manual. I need to replace a driver side spindle and hub (the housing) and also the passenger rotor. First my question is can I replace these parts individually or should I replace both sides if putting new parts on one side? Secondly, 87 parts are hard to find due to not being like 86 or 88 or any other. When i say this I'm refering to front end parts right now. Can I switch the rotors, hubs, and spindle with another year (say a 93)? Thirdly and lastly, Finding these parts are hard. Can anyone help me or direct me to someone who caters to this year? It seems if it's not an early bronco or after 87 your out of luck. Thanks for anyone's help in advanced. One more, sorry, can the 87 bronco and f-150 4x4 interchange?

If it were me I'd replace both sides at the same time. I bought an 87 for parts for my 86 last spring and still have the front rotors if your interested.

Yeah, definitely. You can email me and we can discuss more. I will say, as I'm sure with everyone, I have recently misplaced the large stack of money I had on my dresser, but i am interested in the rotors and possibly any other parts. Like I said, It's a Project.
