    Seems legit.
    Fine tooth comb every mechanical aspect?
    Inspect for cab rot in the front and back corners?

    Front drum brakes?
    Manual steering and brakes?
    Engine / tranny version?

    I don't know! I test drove it yesterday and it seemed like a really smooth rude. I don't know much about cars, I'm in heating and cooling.lol. I'm a young buck so I don't know as much as you old timers..

    I'm leaving in a hour to go get it.lol. It's a 2 hour drive. I'm confident it will make it. The guy is in college for mechanical engineering and his dad also had a few restored trucks in his driveway. I feel like it was looked over good and i dont think their trying to make a few extra bucks off it. This was the guys daily driver.. I'm nervous!

    I agree, orignal parts will be hard to find but you can still get parts through LMC. And if it doesn't leak and no signs of rust, then go for it.

    Don't go to LMC for this truck.. At minimum national parts depot, prefer Dennis Carpenter, or OEM NOS..
