Series guys,

I've got an opportunity in the next three weeks to make an offer on my first Series vehicle. I have not seen it but here are the details for your consumption.

1974 SIII 88" SWB, V6 installed with California qualification, PTO, lacks safari roof but is a hardtop, no heavy mods to speak of and without rust (I've been told).

So, there you go. The truck has been sitting for some time in storage and I've no idea what the milage is, but have been assured that she runs like a top. Anything I need to look for on inspection beyond the regular corrosion(sp?)concerns? I'm really excited about my first (possible) foray into a Series truck - although I know the missus may not feel the same!

Cheers,

Erik
1995 D1 V8i

Since you have a non-standard V6, I can't offer much advice other then hopefully the job was done well.

Also, what ever your budget is for repair time and $, double it before hand.
