Found a 1976 cj5 for sale that seems to be ok to me. What are some basic/usual problems to look for in this model?

3spdstraight 6
Has power steering, manual brakes, floors look pretty solid, only 4-5 pinholes in drivers side. Most of the body looks like it has some kind of thicker than paint covering sprayed on it. But it looks pretty solid, no major rust through spots felt from reaching under it. Gauges all look new, windsheild wipers work. New carburator, new distributor, exhaust manifold has leaks (header actually). manual brakes..drums all the way around. Hubs turn.. lock/unlock smoothly. Decent looking Bestop on it, soft doors as well. Some holes on the passenger side have me wondering if it had a spare mounted there at one time (3 holes in a triangular pattern behind wheel well).
I may have left somthing out but thats basically it, what should i really look for other than these things..probably gonna go back there tommorow.
Thanks
Steve
