I'll be driving 2 hours (each way) tomorrow to look at a 1984 M1008 with 34k original miles and I haven't seen much in the form of a "buyer's guide" and am wondering if anybody has any tips or pointers for me. The guy I talked to today on the phone is obviously foreign so it was a little difficult communicating with him since his English wasn't fluent, but he describes the truck as "like new" condition (we'll see how true that is tomorrow) and he's asking $5800 negotiable. I have never looked at one before and I don't want to go in completely blind. What, if anything, do I need to look at closely on these trucks? I'm pretty good at looking for rust, bondo, and any body or frame issues, but mechanically I'm not always the best at finding/diagnosing problems, especially when it comes to diesels and 4x4's since I've never worked on either. Thanks!
