Pleasure to meet you all!
I'm hopefully a soon to be newbie in the MTV world as the family is looking to get a 1999 1083 for a slow and patient 4 yr overlander build. I've got some money saved up (im sure not enough) , a 48 month timeline, a barn to park the truck in, some tools (always looking for a reason to get more), and my health and life insurance is up to date. I've rebuilt some classic cars and have done some wrench twisting on the F350, but new to this large truck world. the plan was to find a solid 6x6 that could function as the base vehicle. we were looking for something drivable that needed slow care, EI: replace all the rubber, work out electrical gremlins, upgrade to AC, etc etc. - you know, the typical story.
With that as the basic layout, here's a truck that grabbed our attention: https://sanantonio.craigslist.org/hvo/d/san-antonio-stewart-stevenson-ton-6x6/7719494987.html
Whatcha think about this rig, and what are redflags I should be specifically looking for on this type of truck. Any and all advice is appreciated, again it's a pleasure to meet y'all!
**Like I said i'm new to the forum and am still in the research phase of looking up all pasts posts on this topic.
