1990 idi

My grandpa had an okay idi that he drove before he died, It has like 500 thousand on it so I don't think it will ever be a daily driver, just make it a farm truck. it's been sitting about 2 years, what should I look for before I go to get it? Any specific things with these?

You going to drive it away or tow it. Batteries, make sure water diddn't leak into the engine from the cowl area in through the air cleaner (pull the oil drain plug real quick-water is heavier than oil). Crank it a little bit then bleed off air at fuel filter.
