I am possibly going to look at a BJ70 on the weekend. Is there any problem spots to look out for?

What are the frames like? Similar to trucks for rust?

Thanks

frames are al boxed (ala 55/60 series). Watch out for cancer

look for rust in main body and rear doors. Hoods, front doors, fenders (lower) are all available. Rear doors are $800 list each. Quarter panels are $800 each. (these are US prices).

EDIC intact, what year as 12 v 1985 or 24v 1986/7? Leaks in engine, PS, adulteration, Miles on truck are not only on engine, how is tranny, transfer, front axles, slop in diffs, etc.

did I say look at the rust everywhere? I hear tell $10K CDN is max locals pay for a BJ70.
