Newbie question

Hey Guys, New to the forum and need some info. Looking at purchasing a 85-86 (maybe newer maybe older) f350 2wd dually. 460 auto with about 160k on one particular. What are the problem areas I should look for on this truck (rust, etc...)? Are there certain models I should avoid? Who are the suppliers of things like dash pads, seat covers, etc... How are these trucks affected by periods of non-use? One that I'm looking at had been sitting for about 5 years. And what is an average price range for these. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks for the help.
