anyone know about 87 broncos?

Had a couple of F150's of these years (brick noses.)

Borg transfer case is a ***** if not well maintained. The '89 liked to jump out and was a ***** to shift back in. The '87 was the opposite: shifted in fine, had to reef on the shifter hard to get it out. Couldn't tell you about the '88, it was a 2x.

As was previously mentioned, the core support on these trucks suck. But the design is as such that a rotted one at the mounts to the frame won't throw off the sheet metal. Actually look at the mounting areas.

Plan on shackles eventually. They rotted in the rain.

Not a big fan of the ttb front suspension. Center u-joints and pivot bushings are pretty common failures.

Almost bet it has an 8.8. Strong rear in these trucks. Upper rear shock mounts have a habit of rotting out to the extent you can buy new ones from Dorman.

Check the frame behind the radius arm mounts. They like to rot there.
