the underneath of truck on grass or gravel absorbs a lot of moisture.
i go with a list of what to look at, i always go twice to look at a vehicle, i always miss things the first time, i always find things i missed when i get the vehicle home.
good luck and i hope i am helping you out.

take a good flashlight.
point out anything and everything you even think is wrong.
use what i said and tell him the tires may be bad, hidden problems, etc.
shake your head a lot and look like you just can't take it anymore.
keep bringing up the fuel cost.
mention it may not pass inspection.
when was it last tagged?
does your state have a fine for not registering vehicle?
offer $400 and than if he does not go for it offer $500.
than go to leave, trust me you will need a couple of hundred to whip it into shape.
good luck to you.

I just noticed that this thread has the read envelope, COOL!!!
Another question. Just out of curiousity. How hard would it be to swap to a 351W or 302? Im just curious. Would it entail having to get different tranny as well or what? Would it bolt right up? I was talking with one of my buddies today about it, and this truck would be a real screamer with a 302 or 351 in it. This truck weighs like nothing. The reason for goin to one of those motors is more after market parts are available I feel. It seems as though its kind of impossible to get some more power out of these without breaking the bank. I dont know, maybe after I have it for a while and have driven it more, I will feel that its enough, but I never like to leave anything stock.
