Hello all.
Questions about an 83 pickup I'm receiving as part of an inheritance.
One owner, 76,000 miles. 2wd. Gas, not diesel.
At this point I don't know much about it as far as engine size, that sort of thing as i don't yet have it in my possession.
It been well kept and garaged, driven regularly but obviously not long distances; currently licensed. Regularly serviced professionally.
Driven it myself a number of times, but its been more than 15 years, for what that's worth.

Given the age, is there anything I should be on the look out for? Concerns, troubles with trucks of this era?
I guess I'm looking for the potential good, bad and ugly.

Thanks in advance

 

Welcome.

Older vehicles should always have the fuel system checked for corrosion/sediment to keep it reliable.

 

Great advice. I'll be sure to look into that. I plan on checking out all the rubber bits that tend to get weather and age worn.

But I guess I was looking more for known quirks (bad, good, desireable) or similiar things related to this series of trucks. Common issues, that sort of thing.
