Same as most any other vintage truck but one that comes to mind is the front shock mounts in the top of the fender well. I have had a few vans with the need for some major repair's in this location. The upper shock bracket can be very abused from a combination of rust and the shock movement.

rust at the roof side of the rain gutters and the inside at the gutter area is a deal breaker, also look at the frame area. and 3rd is the rear leaf spring area and last is how bad the cab floor is
