so i have always been a fan of the bronco, my uncle had an old 1982 that has just been setting for the past few years that he sold me for $200. Mechanically the truck is good( the rebuilt 302 has less then 6k on the rebuild, good exhaust sytem, brakes and tires where replaced when he did the rebuild) so my main question is where do i start on the body. I have thought about replacing panels cause this is a RUSTY beast the floor pans are rusted through, the fenders, doors, tailgate are all rusted through, and the rear quarters are held on by more rust. so time wise and money and everything else considered would i be better off replacing panels or just gettting a whole new body to go on this frame? and if i go the route of the whole new body what year body will fit on this frame?....are all the frames the same up to 96? any help would be appreciated.:beer

my budget for now is right around $1,000. I know where i can pick up a complete 1990 eddie bauer for $600 has the usual rust over the rear wheels but other then that is mainly rust free....the truck has engine and tranny problems so thinking of maybe just swapping my motor and tranny into that....but the 1990 is EFI and I am not sure what I would run into with putting my stuff into it with all the electronics......
