#1 Double check the frame for rust and holes
#2 Check the 4 cab mounts inside for rust. Both floorboards and the mount in the rear corners. Peel the carpet up if it has it.

Then if thats all good anything else is fixable and you should have a solid truck.

not a chance .. /82 original engine was 22r .
if it's a 20R , then it has been replaced .
