1987 p/up with TURBO...questions

Hello. I am looking to buy it. Anyone have any input on this bad boy? It is mint with very low miles.
Thanks for any info.

Get a powerful magnet and check all around the rear fenders, especially along the seem/crease. 86-88 pick ups are notorious for rusty bed syndrome. Otherwise, mines a carb'd truck, so I don't know what to tell you, when you drive it make sure you try out the 4WD and 4LO make sure there is no grinding/clunking. Make sure it doesn't pull in any direction under normal driving and under heavy braking. Normal test drive kind of stuff.

Does anyone know the HP and TQ ratings for the turbo?
Is 100K the first BIG maint. schedule? What does it consist of?
Thanks.

yuck. I did a search. Is this ONE prone to blown head gaskets?
Also, it has had 20w50 in it from day ONE (believe it or not... only 50K miles) I know thats a little thick...
