I know which ones you are looking at, they look like good clean trucks. More than likely just need batts charged. As with any auction its always a crap shoot.
The best answer I think is almost all the tires are crap, they have flat spots and the best thing to fix this is driving on a hot road for an hour. The best fix is to replace with 395's since the top speed sux.
