What to look for in a purchase

I'm looking at a 96 B4000 4.0/V6 4x4 LE with 103,000 miles.

What should I pay attention to when looking, aside from gallons of oil underneath...

Thanks!

Transmission clunk or missing. Rotted leaf spring shackles. Leaking brake pistons. Air Conditioning functioning.

The Fuel Filler Neck was My Biggest Issue(expensive part and labor)....Tranny Noise Or Clunking..... Regular Service's with proof is a good Idea too,Pretty much anything listed above,Most Of All Common Sense,If something doesn't look right to you it most likely isn't.......

grab a corner and rock the shit out of it. if it doesnt make any weird clunks or noises then mounts and stuff should all be good.
