Hey,
I'm considering buying a 1988 Bronco, 4X4, 351, auto to be used for plowing and was wondering if there's anything in particular I should be looking for aside from the obvious. I'm new to Broncos so any tips/suggestions is appreciated.
Thanks.

Since this was used for plowing check the front end to make sure if is somewhat tight. When used for this purpose alot of trucks get beat to death.

Thanks.
I told the guy that I wouldn't buy it unless it was newly inspected - he agreed, but I'll give a go-over myself.

if your going to plow with this truck you should look at putting lift air bags in the front springs. When i bought the plow for my trck it looked like i was doing a endo as i drove down the street

Thanks for the tip.
There's a 7.5 foot plow that comes with it although I haven't seen it attached.

I know you said "aside form the obvious" but i would check for rust on a plow truck. And not just the body, the entire undercarage. Salt is a bad, bad thing....
