In a fit of terrible judgement I decided to spend money on a 2005 Chevy ~*Avalanche*~ with 250k km.
To do (at the moment):
-Front steering. Pitman arm and steering shaft.
-Exhaust is gone after the muffler.
-Fenders are rusted.
-Rockers are rusted.
-Cab corners are rusted.
-Oil leaking from somewhere.
-P0449 code. Something about an evap solenoid.
-"Rear Left Door Ajar"
-Something about with the charging system. Light came on but has since gone away.
-A/C compressor bearing.
-Blower motor resistor.
-Gas gauge failed, but came back.
-No head unit.
From reading the thread it seems like standard GM fare. Anything in particular someone not terribly car savvy should keep their eyes on?
My hope is to address the most pressing things first, like the lack of a stereo, and use this truck as a learning experience.
Probably go ahead and replace all of the brake lines and the fuel pump.

3V mods like to hold onto their plugs like early 2V mods wouldn't. Get the tools to do it properly and the job will suck a lot less.
metal lower intake is a pro, should have it by now.
5r110W is fiiine.
Chassis is the same from '05.5-12. Cab stuff is mostly '08-16 for most of the interior plastics.
That doesn't have the power equipment group so adding dumb poo poo like foglights requires a rework of the fusebox or just... throw wire. (it's the gateway for the can network, i've read rumor that the power equipment group board drops in.)
It won't have a ton of power but unlike the 6.4 powerstroke of the time it still runs.
It's a good beater. Catch up on whatever maintenance you see fit and run it.
Agree. Family member picked up a free-to-him 2010 F150 with the full heavy payload/tow pack 2wd extended cab long bed, 5.4 3v, so basically a 7-lug light F250. It has over 200k on it and drives like new despite minimal fleet maintenance - he did plugs and said it wasn't great but not a huge ordeal with the right tools. Rides surprisingly well for how heavily sprung it is, and has more than enough power to do anything reasonable.
