Thanks for the info. I'll make sure and check everything you mentioned. I'm not worried if minor mechanical work needs to be done (such as u-joints or the nylon pad in the t-case you mentioned) since my uncle is a mechanic and can probably do that stuff with his eyes closed, it's just major...

I'll be driving 2 hours (each way) tomorrow to look at a 1984 M1008 with 34k original miles and I haven't seen much in the form of a "buyer's guide" and am wondering if anybody has any tips or pointers for me. The guy I talked to today on the phone is obviously foreign so it was a little...
