Take some pictures even if you don't buy it, just for fun.
Take a good look at the door fitment and the wall where it meets the door frame. Make sure it is not spreading. I looked at a GMC to buy many years ago, before I bought the Revcon. The GMC had grown fat in the middle, which meant the door did not fit, and the interior wall had pulled away from the door frame. I have since learned that problem is not completely uncommon. There are ways to deal with it, but something like that should be significant leverage against the price. Inspect the walls around the windows for leaks/rot. Inspect for frame rust. On that age of unit, the potential for large amounts of frame rust is pretty high. All those things differentiate it from a premium restored vehicle.
