[QUOTE="BigBear56, post: 1663380, member: 38461"] I’m sure others will give good advice on what to look for on the chassis but I would offer a few things to look at on the body other than the obvious. I would run the bed all the way up, stand on the drivers side step and try to rock the truck side to side. This shouldn’t be too hard to do on a 10 yd dump. See if you hear any clunking or see excess side to side movement of the bed. Could indicate worn out bushings or pins. Telescopic hoists are generally longer lasting and more powerful than underbody (scissor) hoists. Other than that it’s basic appearance and you should be able to tell what kind of life it lived based on the condition of the body. [/QUOTE]
