Welcome to the Forums!
good lookin truck.
FYI do a search on the plenum gasket. EVERY 2nd gen 1500 will have this issue.
Also these trannys typically need a rebuild by 125K-145K. That truck was used for plowing, so the tranny might not have that much life left...within 20K id say.
All in all, for the price thats a hell of a deal for the condition/miles. Def. a good buy.
