Looks very nice for a D1, I think you should definately give it a test drive. Take some more pictures of the car if you do go and look at it, it sounds and looks like a good D1

I would stay away from a truck with that much lift personally. Sounds like a recipe for driveline problems. Make sure if you look at it that the rotoflex at the rear diff has been replaced with a u-joint.

A 5" lift usually needs castor corrected radius arms and/or castor corrected swivel *****, shims at the read axle to adjust driveline angle and a number of other things to make the steering/tracking good. Of course if it doesn't have all those things, you could just put in shorter springs.
$3500 is pushing it for the price.
BTW, the new fuel tank is a recall item so it's free.
