The data plates don't always match the truck. IE: The plate may indicate a
M35 but the engine has been upgraded and the plates have not been changed.
Front wheel drives don't always engage. Would try to get one with a front
axle control switch (located just under instruments). Make sure the front
axle knuckles don't leak. Hard tops, slave connector and heaters are a
plus. Check for rust on the front fenders near the turn signals, the
rocker panels and along the top edge of the cab behind the seat.
