They're nice trucks. Go forever if they've been taken care of. Pay special attention to the floors, cab mounts, box rails (underneath) and the rad saddle mounts. Those things rust out - especially the floors rust from the inside out (from crap on people's boots). The gas tanks will probably leak if they haven't been changed and the steel brake lines need to be changed if they haven't been done.
Long story short, take something with you that you can lie on when you're going to check one out. And a flashlight.
