Rusted out rockers and bottoms of the doors. Rusted or broken exhaust manifold studs. When you hear the leak don't let anyone tell you its a "donut" gasket. I've heard this before and just laughed..

DAMN!!

Well I looked at the truck, really nice truck all except for he says there is a small leak in the differential, the engine light comes on something to do with the air filter (Iwould put in a K&N) and the biggest problem I had is the odometer is broken. I thought about offering him 3000 cash for it and having the odometer fixed? What do you guys think?

I would be wondering what exactly the code is first, odometer is probably the famous cold solder joint on the board, easy fix. The rear diff gasket and fluids not much to fix
