Fluids Flushing

I recently acquired a 93 Bronco XLT 5.0L. It has 103,000 miles on it. The only fluid that I know has been changed is the oil. My question is do I change/flush the rest of the fluids or since they have been there that long, leave well enough alone. I've been advised both directions.

If you have an auto trans, change the fluid...radiator coolant should be flushed at approx. 25k intervals, if you don't, the mixture begins to carry voltage (I tried this). The axles usually do not need changing, but it won't hurt.

How about power steering and brake fluid?

Ditto on the tranny fluid. If it's been used as a tow vehicle, or off-road alot, definately change the fluid in the diffs, brakes and power steering.
