Gearbox, prop and diffs, make sure it all runs quietly at cruising speed. Headlining dropped, heater matrix and smoke after idling.... In fact any smoke. Also keep an eye on the main rad, and aux rad/condition of coolant, and indeed engine oil. They're tough old birds, but only if the fluids and service is bang on the money.
