LOL Gee thanks guys....LMAO I am waiting on a call back from the guy this evening. With all the storms I chose not to go today. I am thinking Friday or Saturday. I will start posting pics asap. I did talk to him again and learned that this truck is from N Dakota. So rust is an issue, just dont know how bad or even where to look. We don't have rust buckets in Oklahoma really. And the A/C has been bypassed, different belt. So there are a couple more issues besides the aforementioned.

rear of the rear spring hangers (but don't worry.they're like 30 bucks.)
floor boards.mostly starts closer to the door and or around any seams.
don't worry much about surface rust.what your looking for is any spots that look so rusty that you think the metal is much thinner than new,and or of course holes lol.that's when you know the panel,part etc will need to be replaced.
these bumpers get eating alive too.when you check the front bumper,look up inside the bottom lip.
don't be alarmed if you see hard core rot in the typical places.this doesn't mean the truck is rusted out everywhere.
but it does mean you'll need to make sure.
for example when i bought mine:
rust in the right places,can keep others away,lowering the price for the guy who checks out the whole tuck.

It's really road salt that kills these. Stuff just eats away everything. My town just switched from sand to salt last year. Their trucks are mint, not for long. They just got rid of a 83 international, and it wasn't due to rust. IDIOTS will now have to buy new trucks every couple years. Nearly all of the common rust spots have panels made for them. Even the beds, just don't look at lmc, some other vendors do offer bed panels for 200, whole entire bed floor.
all i need is where and how much

No it is a flatbed candidate in a couple of years. Going with a deweeze. Joe, I dont want you damn truck! It needs too much work!! LOL I don't think it would make it ouf of california unless oreo is towing it. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA
And 3500? I am thinking there is one too many zeros there bud. Tell you what, you and oreo come down here with your truck and I will trade you for the 90 model dodge i just bought for 560, I will need the 210 more I paid for the dodge dually to make it an even swap.
