Can a Bronco plow snow?

The only way I'd mount a plow on a 1500 is on the hitch (rear mounted plow). Rear mounted plows are available. Even then, you'd have to be careful when plowing.

There are small plow blades for use on light duty vehicles, but I still wouldn't use one.

Even mounting a plow on a HD will strain the truck. Best to plan on transmission service after each plowing season. When plowing it is usually at low speed (most HD pickups are used to plow parking lots) so the transmission will never get adequately cooled.
A fellow I know went from a 1500 to a 3500 plowing snow. He said the 1500 stops when you let go the gas. The first time he plowed the wharf with the 3500 he found out they don't stop right away. He thought he was going to get wet.
