You'll do fine.
I picked mine up in NE ohio. Drove home in a February snowstorm with 6" on the ground. Drove every day in St Louis where we had lots of ice and snow last winter.
My 82 TA was pretty loose in the snow. Crossfire was 100 times better.

Broncos are like old military jeeps. Clunky, hard to drive, annoyingly uncomfortable but very reliable. They don't crush easy and bruises don't show or matter. Great beater vehicles.
