Looks to be a solid truck for a good price. As far as answering Question 1. The only thing you really have to worry about beyond the obvious mechanical things, is the items that would have been replaced as normal maintenance in the time that the truck has sat. ie: belts, hoses, steering and brake components, tires, etc. So once you start driving the truck, look for these type parts to begin to wear fairly quickly or not function properly in the first place. These parts have sat, without lubrication, stiff and without movement. Nothing that is too major. Sounds like a good buy. Enjoy it!
