Hello, I am interested in swapping a automatic transmission into my 1984 Bronco II, it is a manual with manual t-case, and the one I'm entertaining putting in there is a c-3 auto with manual t-case. The reason being is I have cerebral palsy on my right side. I have an 1984 ford ranger that doesn't have a title, I'm taking it out of, looking to see what is needed for this conversion ? Thanks

First thing is that the Ranger needs to be a v6 model. The 4-cyl version won't bolt to the Bronco's engine.

Then you will need the flex plate, transmission, shifter and all associated parts, and probably the wiring harness.

You will probably need a new front and rear drive shaft. Have you checked the specs section to see the overall length of the automatic and standard (probably a FM145?) transmission?
