-Don't look at a vehicle at night without adequate lighting.
-Don't take people's words as the honest truth.
-How to properly inspect an old truck.

When life gives you lemons, make lemonade right? I may have felt "burned" on this deal, but with some time and elbow grease, I think I'll have a nice work horse in the end. It's just one of those things you get when you buy a vehicle with unknown history.
All I can say is "been there, done that", and to add one more thing to your "valuable lesson" list.....DON'T BELIVE EVERYTHING YOU READ IN MEMBERS BUILD THREAD....
