You want to look for Rocker[b]BOX[/] rust - not just in the rockers. The Rockerboxes are under the truck between the Rocker Panels and the Frame. The doors tend to crack at the hindges too. I believe that GMC Paul is working on reproduction doors now. The rear hatches are notorious for cracking, breaking and the hardware falling apart or out. You can get reproduction fiberglass for around $400 but the hardware is very hard to find.

2wd's are rare. As long as the frame is straight and most of it is there, $800 sounds like a good deal to me.
