Ford V8 1-1/2 ton pickup buying guide?

[bikemaniac]

Hi,

I have the opportunity to have a look at a 1936 Ford V8 1-1/2 ton pickup which is for sale. According to the seller the car is in a operating condition with engine running, steering and brakes OK, however in a miserable condition otherwise.

Can anyone give me some tips on what to look for when inspecting the truck? I had a Ford A myself before so I am used to vehicles from that time.

I just need to make sure that I dont buy a truck that requires major and expensive repairs.
