need to get a new DD, looking at a clean 83 tomorrow.
Im bringing jack and stands to lift it and get under it, check out axles, bushings, and test the 4wd without having to do it on the street. also to check that gearing front and rear is the same...run into that before. it is a driveable truck, so not worried about checking compression which is what I'll do on a running but undriveable.
what else should I look out for? yeah, they like to rust around the fenders and tailgate, it's a 37 year old truck though so not much concern there if there is some. I know the rear window doesn't roll down. engine is a small stroked 302, supposedly low mileage on it, auto,
