How should '75 Bronco ride?
I test drove the '75 Bronco today I've been looking at. Now I didn't take it on the road, just around a field, and let me tell ya, those things are rough.
It feels like it is about to shake apart, but so does my grandfather's '76 Ford pickup. So is this just how these ride since they are so old? Worn shocks maybe?
The engine cranked up right away, didn't die at all, and the thing has a ton of torque. I'm really liking it, but am worried that it may shake itself apart.
Any suggestions?

get it out on the road and it is not nearly as bad as a field. mine is not too bad, just gotta slow down a little from what you are used to driving. does not perform as well as others on the pavement, get it off the road and it is a diferent story.

Does it have a lift kit with add-a-leafs in the rear? Mine does and when I go over a speed bump slowly in a parking lot I can tell a huge diffrence in the cush of the front suspension compaired to the rear. The front is MUCH smoother. So, if there are add-a-leafs in the rear of the Bronco you drove then their may be some room for ride improvement. I will agree with the other posts though, Broncos in general don't ride smooth compaired to new trucks. Maybe that is why they were named after a bucking horse!
