Well the only things i can think of is always listen to the rear end for unusal noises as for some reason when ya get past the 10"s seams like they have more rearend problems . and ya know on the T/A"s . Cab mounts, the hyd. system"s if it is a PFC system have give some problems and IMOP a pain in the donkey buut maybe that is because i never had the proper equipment to work on them . I know one thing i would change wright off the get go if it was mine , Oh yea i do have one of them as i have a 1486 that i need to get to fixen one of these day and this is one thing i am going to change is the stupid STEPS . Now also make sure that the A/C is working because the way that cab is layed out and the way the windows open ya get no air movement . Looks like that one is like mine with the 20.8"s on the back . Oh yea if ya get it one thing to remember is don"t have the side winder open next to trees as if they catch a branch it will take a month to clean the glass out of the cab , first hand experance on that one . THe only other thing i can think of is that they seam to be a bit rougher ride then the 66 seires because ya set ahead of the back axel. And as for a price anywhere from 6500-14500 depending on what all has been done to it and when the work was done and at 7500 hours it may be due for everything . Oh yea alos on the ones that i have worked on over the years i have found that the speed transmission gears realy get woren bad and about all of them that i have put T/A" In i have had to replace ALL the gears and sometimes both shafts. So run it anround and listen for unusual noises with the back window and side winder open as the cab will deaden alot of the noise , here again this is first hand experance talken learned this the hard way on mine and i did run it around but had the cab closed up and did not hear the noise in the transmission and did not hear the miss in the engine or fell the miss the cam was wiped out i knew it needed a T/A and was not concerned about that . But when i opened it up and found that all the gears were rounded over and the shafts were toaste and the neighbor heard the miss before i did after i got it home my good deal turned into a nightmare .
