rear spring towers, check to see if they are bent or cracked from overloading

Like any used car the usual.

Rust. Rust. Rust. Did I mention rust. GQ's seem to be more prone to rust IMHO, but maybe thats just an age thing.

If you have 25 k to spend keep looking for the right truck, and you will be looking at GU for that money.

If its going to be a daily push for a GU. If not save some coin and get a GQ, but good GQ's are getting thin on the ground.

I own both GQ and GU coil cabs, and the GU is the sweeter on road vehicle by far.

also make sure u check the inner gaurds, firewall seams and floor pans for cracks. this is also a common problem with gq's, cause mainly from the their awesomness!
