    My first truck was an 83 359. Check to see if it has aluminum frame, and if so, check for jacking between steel and aluminum. You may need to reframe, and that may change your scope of work needed, but I sure wish I still had mine!

    steel frame looks to be in pretty good shape there was some rust jacking between the 5th wheel and the frame that cought my eye that could be a concern but other than that i was surprised how clean the frame looked.

    Excellent!

    When you go in to replace one of the air lines from the manifold above your right foot (if memory serves), I would advise changing all of them! I used to have to carry airline and fittings around every where I went.

    Took another walk around on it today this time I took some more pictures. Everything is surprisingly leak free one wheel seal leaking all new brakes needs some rear suspension bushings. Looks like spring eye bushings have been recently replaced injection pump also looks like it's been recently done.
