Rust is the only killer of those things, anything mechanical is easily repaired/replaced
the windscreen frame, rear panel in the cab, bottem corners at the rear of the tub, firewall seams, door pillars, floor pan, headlight panel are the commen rust places to look at first

He should be able to find an old rustbucket with no WOF or Reg as a farm hack for around $1000. 2F petrol or 3B diesel motors never die...

Mechanically those things are pretty sound. Good solid engines. Just check for cancer where sadam suggested.
