New To froum 95 Bronco

Hey everyone!! I was looking for a little help. I was wondering if you guys could help me and give me a little input on this. You see I wrecked my Ford Explorer, totaled it, a little over a week ago. Now since I have cash and no car, I want to go with something bigger with more play power. So this is what I have found a 95 Ford Full size Bronco with a 351w not sure what transmission it has. It has new water pump, shocks, new tires, and new brakes. However it has 205k on it. It is at a reasonable price below 2500 and the guy is going thou bankruptcy. So he is pretty easy on the price. I was just wondering if there is anything I really need to check and what if any problem are common on this truck?

Here are some pictures.

Ok So I did buy it, and for well below his asking price. It does have a few issues could someone please help?

Issues

1) 4X4 low does not come on nor does the light in the dash even come on. However 4X4 high works well.

2) When you first start to drive it, the truck has a violent jump from 1to2 gear. If you drive the truck for a while or turn it off once it reaches operating temp and start driving again the jump goes away.

3) There is kind of a low growl from the rear of the cab on acceleration. If you let of the gas the noise goes away, but once you give it gas it comes back. The guy thinks it is a rear-end problem.

4) After you reach about 65 mph, sometimes it starts to shake only on passenger
