What are you plans for it? On road? Offroad?

Make sure you get the rear electric locking differential. Trust me.

Check the rear axle for gear oil leaking on the inside of the rear brake drums.

Thats all that I can really think of. Otherwise, if it runs good and tracks straight, buy it. They are excellent trucks, and not much goes wrong with them.
