If it's from any where near the Salt Belt area for sure get a creeper and look at the under carriage and check the frame bring a hi output trouble light and a small ball peen hammer, or a Pick and tap it one the frame and similar parts, check all the brake and fuel lines, check all of the welded seams on the hood tailgate and door panels especially under the door panels, They use Mag chloride in allot of these states and that **** is sprayed on the highway and gets everywhere.

Yea i live in the salt belt, i know all the places to look, and ive seen quite a few disasters. A buddy of mine was driving a 2nd gen 24v with the bottom of the box frame completely rotted out for a while

The picture shows plow brackets hanging off the front. That would explain the front end being worn out. It would also indicate it has probably had a tough life. Not saying it isn't still a good deal, but just something to think about.
