Default Thinking about buying a 95 f350 cclb

Since I'm working a decent job now, I've been seriously thinking about getting a loan and buying myself another truck. I found my dream truck(as close as I'm able to buy it anyway, haha). Its a 95 F350 crew cab longbox 4x4 5 speed. It looks like its in decent shape. In the ad it says "not showroom ready but not your farm truck either." 220K miles. From what I can tell in the ad, all stock except a cd player.

Anyway, is there anything special I need to be sure to check out or get info on besides the usual obvious truck buying stuff? Here's the ad too: 1995 FORD F350 CREW LONG 7.3L

What mods do you recommend? Intake and exhaust are definitely going to be done. It'll be at least straight piped within a few days after purchase(if not already done). Thinkin BHAF, bigger exhaust with DP into 5 or 6" aussie or bullhauler stacks, and a 6 position chip. TS, TW, or what's the one that starts with a P? What do you guys think of the IDM mod? Injectors and turbo work would be awhile plus I'd probably wait until it was paid off to do that much work to it. I'll probably do the ebpv to exhaust brake thing too. Also gauges of course.

That doesn't help me one bit.

I think you'll be happy with that truck, as long as it dosn't have major mechanical issues right off the bat.
