Explorer body parts VS Bronco II Body parts

Post by greenmachine89 »

I was hoping if anyone knew if a Explorer grill, head lights, hood, front core suppport, would fit on a BII? I have an 89 and was needing the front redone.

the front sheetmetal is the same.just make sure you have all of one or the other concerning lights grills etc. rad support should be the same as well.
just try to keep the donor vehicle as close to your year as possible.

Good deal! I was looking at a 91 Xploder today and the front end seemed to match up! I hope to get the engine as well.

the sheetmetal is not the same from explorer to broncoII look at the lateral body line that is in the bronco it doesn't exist in the explorer. the grill and lights may work but and maybe the core support but not the sheetmetal
