Buying tips

I'm looking at buying a 87 F350. It has the 6.9lt engine. Are there any parts that I should look at spacifically? How hard are glow plugs to replace? Thanks.

I have an 87 F350, my wife actually bought me the truck when I was in Iraq. she crawled underneath of it and took pictures and drove it.. Anyhow she even wheeled and dealed with the previous owner and I got a really good deal. I would ask if the head gaskets have ever been replaced, since that is their one shortfall, other than that check for the obvios such as oil leaks and where the truck might have been beaten, my wife even got a box of receipts from the owner.. Stuff like that makes you feel alot more confident in buying.. What are the specifics on the truck? Scotty
