RUST! By far the greatest concern with these trucks. In addition to the cab, The doors are prone to rust from the inside out. Check the bottom of the doors inside where the inner and the skin meet and the drian holes. Also, the passenger's side front fender & liner. The battery is on this side and over the years with people topping off the battery, this area with get some corrosion an rust. Check the firewall where the pinchweld is. Rust here is very difficult to fix. If you are shopping for a shortbed, be aware that many people have shortened longbed frames over the years.
