i bought on two weeks ago check for rust in roof along sills and above windscreen open and shut all doors the hinges are usually rooted stick your finger up the exhaust pipe (not when running) it should be dry and sooty not wet and oily take off the road and check hubs lockin easy and tranfer shifts smoothly
If i just overtook you head to your nearest mechanic

as soon as you get there, start the engine and let it idle as you look around the rest of the truck.
after you've looked it over for a few mins get a mate (or the owner) the give the engine nice rev while you check the exhuast for blueish smoke. blue smoke is burning oil
check for leaking front axle seals. (wet swivel hubs)
rust around the rear windows
crakcing of the pillars if it has a roof rack
check the chassis for cracking near the pandhard mounts
