Tom I own a 59 W200 and can tell you these are fun to own. I did a full resto on mine and have worked on two 58's besides. As with any truck look for the usual signs,ie; oil leaks, tire wear,bondo patches, etc. Service parts are available thru NAPA and other good parts stores. These trucks are infamous for rust in the front fenders at the just in front of the doors vertically and at the top of the headlights. This is due to no inner fender and trapped water. If this truck doesn't have power steering it may be a handful when trying to turn with the plow raised. Be sure to drive it in that position to get a feel for it. The price sounds at the upper level for a VERY GOOD condition truck but if it as represented is worth it. Where is this truck located? For more info go to Eric B's Power Giant page, if he doesn't see your post. You can find his link on this home page under links. Good luck.
