Gentlmen
Thanks for the replies, they were a lot of help.
Looked at the truck for Him today.
It looked better in the pic. but it wasn't too bad.
Story is an elderly Widow sold truck to this lot after Her Husband past on.
My first thought was "Yea,Right"
But after looking at it I believe it.
The interior was imaculat, The back seat looked like it was never used.
It is in real good shape except,when I was starting and stopping hard there was water sloshing around in the dash/fire wall area.
Anybody know what this might be?

Thanks for any help.

The sloshing water is probably in the evaporator box for the AC. Just a clogged drain.

Sounds like a good deal. Did you see what engine it has?

It's the 7.4litre.
Runs real smooth and strong.
Thanks

Take good look at the brake lines and the gas and fuel lines. My 04 GMC had less than 40,000 miles on it when I went through the red light, no brakes. Good thing the guy waiting at the light was paying attention. Found all the brake lines were rusted and broke in many places. Replaced all brake lines with preformed stainless steel. All parts including new calipers and rotors was about $1000.00 for parts.

Sloshing is air in coolant due to the intake leaking or the core is restricted slightly, causing it to not purge air. See it all the time on those. Replace intake gaskets and/or flush core and good to go.
