Default Questions about a '79

Well its not an F-150, its a 250, Im not sure how much of a difference that will make. Anyway, it has a cleveland in it, a 4 speed and thats about all I know as far as mechanics go. The floors have been replaced, cab corners, cab mounts, but the bed still has some rust in it. Im looking at buying this truck to put a little time and effort into it and sell it in the future. Are there any particular things I should look out for on these trucks, are there other things to look for?

73-79, one of the best body styles ever. You might consider just for your own knowledge, investigate the engine type further. Its probably a 351M/400, depending on stroke. Now you could be real fortunate to have a 460 in it. Wasn't uncommon to find them at all.
