i have an 83 ford bronco and i was wondering if i could pull stuff that i need off of a F-250 or F-350 of the same year and put it on my bronco?

Generally speaking, no. The Bronco is effectively a short bed F-150. Some things will fit, but when it comes to suspension and drivetrain, they are usually different.

Actually, the suspention is usually pretty close with the exception of the bigget trucks will be a hellova ride with the heavy springs on there. Also, from what I hear the 250 springs will give about 3-4" lift in the rear. Not sure if it's true but that's what I've heard and I think I heard it threw here. But why do you want the 1 ton springs? If you do that and keep your half ton axle there then you'll run into other problems but if you swap out the axle you should be good to go. Plan on hauling something large?

it really depends on what you are gonna be using off of the 250 and 350, i know that a 150 and a bronco would match up. most of the parts on my 85 bronco are from my old 85 150.

How did such a simple question get so far off base ?

The short answer is "it depends".

As far as body panels go you can use *any* F-truck body panels from the doors forward. That means doors will swap as well as complete nose assemblies or partial nose assemblies. (now that assumes you stay within styles, 80-86, 87-91, & 92-96). Rear bumpers also swap.

Mechanical parts such as electric window motors, defroster fans, steering columns, etc, etc are ALL interchangable

Chassis parts are a different ballgame. F150 parts are direct Bronco replacements (exec for driveshafts which are length specific). F250 & F350 parts CAN be swapped with some fabrication

F150's & Broncos should for all intents & purposes be considered pretty much the same truck. The Bronco has a shortbed & single-piece tub compared to the cab/bed arrangement the F-trucks have.
