Nice looking truck! Everyone else has mentioned the biggest issue which is the exhaust manifold studs, other than that just check the normal things as you would any other used vehicle.

Yea seats but they are not in in the pict. They are 3 fiberglass racing seats that slide in - what you can see are pipes with motorcycle grips on each side - when you bounce on a rock and a cliff is right next door you can squeeze dents in the pipe though.
