Is there any common faults with these vehicles and their motors! Looking at mid 80's models. Thanks.

Check the body for rust and check engine for fuel leaks from the injector pump. Have a look underneath and check the gearbox, diff etc for oil leaks. The truck is pretty bulletproof, but getting old nowadays. They cost a lot of money for what they are.

13 BT engine, they are prone to cracked heads so be on your toes with regards to that. I have one and it's been 14 years of pretty trouble free use, peripherals like brake master cylinder, water pump, a couple of hoses here and there. It's had a few legendary overheats and miraculously never cracked the head but did break a compression ring which necessitated an in situ freshen up. I'd definitely own one again if it was youthful enough.
