New to Gen 1 Lightnings and need help!
Hey guys I'm new to this site and to Gen 1 Lightnings!

I found a 1993 Lightning for sale that looks to be original but has higher miles, some paint fade and rust/dings/scratches. The price seams to be inline for a nice project truck. I was wondering if you guys could give me some insight as to what in particular I should be looking out for on these older trucks.

Sorry I'm not looking to sell it, I want to buy it! I'm hoping you guys can give me some insight on the "problem areas" on the old trucks.

It has the normal northeast rust spots, rear wheel wells and corners of the cabs door jams, but this is to be expected at this price. What about known mechanical issues to look out for like suspension, trans or motors?

radius arm bushings, broken/rusted drivers side radius arm bracket, core support rust, is the ford trak-loc still working, transmission still shifting smooth, passenger side dash recall been done? there was a brake switch recall, has it been done? fuel tank crossover recall done? are the wheels peeling?
engines are bullet proof- shouldn't be any worried there. this is all i can think of right now.
