check fro turbo shaft play, check drip rail for rust, check rear spring perch for rust, oil leaks, transmission leak and i bought a truck with stock intake and was stupid and didnt loom at the filter and after 90 miles of driving home found that there was no filter in there so check for that too!!

jdbigblue12V - what condition were the compressor wheel fins in when you found there was no air filter in there?

I bought the truck. Here are the pictures. The engine runs very good and the drive train seems very solid other than shifting into 3rd gear. I have to double clutch it in order to shift into 3rd without grinding it. I also don't like how high it is and I'm going to see what I can do to lower it. It's so high that you feel that you're disconnected from the road. The vehicle goes down the road with lots of body lean and body roll.
Lots of clearance between engine and radiator. One problem I see is if I remove the body lift, the fan will contact the hood. Looks like I'll need to use an electric fan to get around this issue.

Transfer case out of a 1 ton Chevy truck
Plenty of clearance between engine and transmission. Looks like I might be able to remove the suspension lift

Those IFS suspension lifts usually involve dropping the front diff with some new brackets - after cutting off the old ones! Be sure of the full scope of deleting the lift.
I see only 6-lugs on the rear axle. If it still has the stock 8.5" 10-bolt, I'd strongly suggest going to at least the 9.5" 14-bolt.
