Nice lookin' truck Rog. Quite a bit better than mine. ( Same year and model w/o the extended cab. )

You wanna keep him safe. First vehicle ... he's not gonna know what to look for. Rust underneath is the big thing. Check the frame just behind the cab where it curls down into the straight. That's a good spot for stress cracks.Check the last six inches of of frame in the very back where everything bolts together. It's about time for the spring hangers to let go if they haven't been replaced already. The cross member that supports the tranny might be getting tender. Check the radiator support. That's kind of important because it supports the front of the truck and ties in with the steering.

You know how it is with the young guys. They often drive em' a little harder. If there's a weak point under there somewhere it's apt to fail under a strain.

I'm spending the labor day weekend under the truck. I drive mine easy but the rear shock mount that attaches the shock to the differential let go this past week. Gonna have to weld in a new one tomorrow. All the other stuff that was mentioned is stuff that's been done on mine over the last few years. You kinda have to be attentive to em' and stay ahead of the rust when they get over twenty years old.
