I've got my eye on this old work truck this guy is selling. It appears to have been a work truck and it has two hitch balls for some reason. The paint looks bad, but I can't see any major rust or damage on it beyond a really scratched up bed.
I've not driven it or looked under the hood yet.
It's a v8 with a 350.
I'm not a mechanic, but Iv'e been wanting to have one of these around as a project truck.
What should I look out for?
What's the very worst that could be wrong with the truck if it appears to drive well ? :)
How can I tell if it needs an engine rebuild or a new transmission? What about issues elswhere in in the powertrain?
I know it's gonna be a pain in the balls, but I plan to take my time on it.
Thanks.
