im looking at a 1990 sierra 4x4 stepside with a 350 on a 6in spring lift.

what are some of the things i need to look for?
are there any main problems with this type of truck?

Check for leaks around engine mainly water pump, intake,oilpan, rear main. If this truck is a project these r minor repairs if this truck will be a daily driver these leaks could cost u in the long run if overlooked . Also outer rear axle seals leak and rear brake cylinders . Check the oil very carefully in a well lit environment look cleaness of the oil rub the oil on a white sheet of paper look for shiney particles or metal dust chocolate milk look means there is water in the oil could have cracked head or bad intake gaskets . Drive it I can already tell u the front end will be worn out . Check for slack in steering , pulling don't be afraid to drive it like u stole it . Listen for howling in rear end. Put in 4wd make sure it works . Also take a friend along to double check u. All these things are critical and could greatly affect the price. Let us know what u find
