problem areas?

My buddy is looking at getting a 78/79 on eBay and I was wondering if we were overlooking any of the common problems...
-rust: fenders/floorboards/doors
-back window
-leaky roof causing the floorboard probelms


anything else that really stands out on these models or anything in general we should look at when we go to look at this monster?

There are several great deals on Bronco's right now on e-bay. I was bidding 2 weeks ago, and had I had more money to play with, I'd be a happy driver right now. My son's got a 94 5.0 auto that's in the best shape of any of the local ones we've seen in the midwest. It's painted O.J. white with gray interior.
